Synology Photos. I’ve heard Immich is quite good too.

Sounds like crypt.ee would be a good fit.

It’d be helpful to learn more about your requirements. Does it need to be open source? Any must-have features? Native apps? Etc.

A great reminder that your voice does matter. Apply it other things as well, and things can actually improve…

Lotta good recommendations here. If you get GrapheneOS, you could get any keyboard (including GBoard) and turn off its network access at the app level (as well as sensors and other permissions), which would make virtually any keyboard privacy-friendly.

Who doesn’t like an underdog? 😤

Yeah, I mean changing accounts right before writing the comment would work. Doesn’t need to be able to switch in the middle of writing the comment.

Confirmed Eternity does it, thanks

Do you need to enable the setting anywhere? I’m not seeing it.

Not on Android yet. In the meantime, I would just use the Clear URLs extension.

What type of link was it?

Did you confirm this? I tried a handful of different links, and it retained certain necessary parameters. Might depend on the link and how Firefox reads the link. Guessing it’s using regex.

Indeed, not all UTM tracking parameters are harmful. For example, you could have parameters like ?src=email&campaign=summer2023 that would denote how users engaged with the URL, without necessarily identifying them.

Many platforms, however, will try to identify you and collect as much as possible.

Not familiar with ScriptSafe—wonder if anyone here can confirm it’s necessary if you’re already using uBlock Origin. I would err on the side of “no,” but you never know.

A few years ago, I came across a tool that did exactly this. It might’ve been a browser extension… When you clicked a link that had trackers, rather than providing a clean URL, it sent incorrect/invalid parameters to the tracking link.

Not to my knowledge. It’s absolutely pathetic and honestly kinda psychotic that you’re not allowed to understand your own genealogy and medical history without giving up pretty much everything about yourself. Forever.

Because unlike a compromised password, you can’t just hop on the computer and change your genes (yet??).

Boils down to a legislative failure.

In high school, I wrote a play for my creative writing class where I named the main character Jrue—named after Jrue Holiday, one of my favorite basketball players.

I remember the teacher got a kick out of it.

I got someone to use Signal recently, because I don’t text outside of it. Last week, she asked me why that is. I sent this Bruce Schneier essay on the eternal value of privacy to someone who knows absolutely nothing about tech, and she understood.

I’m gonna try it again next time it comes up with someone else. I think this essay does a really good job of putting it into perspective, so I’m hoping this is the silver bullet I can continue to send when someone asks.

Overall, in general, I try to keep it in real world terms. Why do you close the door when you go to the bathroom? Why do you lock your doors? Why do you have curtains/blinds? etc., along with what some other intelligent people responded here.

Revenge bedtime syndrome. It’s legit.
