Always a relevant xkcd. Though that’s

I certainly hope it gets there and they get what’s coming to them.

You could forward emails manually, but you couldn’t setup a rule to automatically forward emails based on a rule.

Fwiw, I’m in the same boat as the other poster. Love proton, but it’s not as seamless as Google.

You’ve succinctly articulated something I’ve been struggling to for a long time.

We all suffer from enshitification because the “average consumer” makes it profitable with their apathy, their ignorance, and their laziness.

And then you follow up with this banger:

And there’s nothing we can do about that. We’re stuck in these markets with them, and they make up the majority, so they set the trends.

I hate it so much, but what can those of us that actually care do other than try to educate people?

I’m not so sure. Black Friday shopping barely kept up with inflation this year, but cyber Monday shopping was up over 12%, so while I’m with you in the minority that prefer a real quality store, it seems most folks don’t.

You got a link or company name? That sounds very interesting for classic cars.

Gotta build that brown fat.

That assumes that because they’re paying they aren’t also tracking. They might not use it for ads directly but they’ll still sell it to others that will show you ads off Facebook.

I think you’re right. I hate that you are, but reality points to that being the reason these platforms continue to grow and thrive.

That’s true, but once you trust a new device, there’s no reason the authority (your phone that has all history) couldn’t transfer the history over to the new client.

I get it would add some complexity, but it could be done in a secure and private way.

What about bank apps and nfc? Do those work or are you just out of luck if you need them on graphene or lineage?

Win-win.

I see what you did there.

Article removed because it doesn’t meet their editorial standards.

It shifts from the isp to the VPN provider, who isn’t doing that profiling yet.

I’m on proton and in the same boat, but the wait could be a while. They’re very focused on expanding their product portfolio, and less focused on making the existing products sing.

Firefox for Android does support them fully, it’s just desktop Firefox that doesn’t have pwa support.

I agree on WEI, and that’s the scary part since crappy companies will demand it in the name of security and everyone gets fucked and the Internet becomes a little less free.

To use the feature or not, sure, but you can’t use the feature and not be tracked.

I was more meaning that WhatsApp could include a custom signal build inside WhatsApp.

Not sure you have a choice, other than to opt out.
