I'm done with privacy. I found a new gig.

Privacy as in the online communities talking about privacy. Like this one.

People are short sighted. Everyone is selfish and only does stuff solo. All I see is Graphene versus Calyx. Firefox versus Chromium. ProtonMail versus Tutanota. It sounds so pointless once I turn off my screen and actually go out in life.

All we do is complain and upvote dumb stuff that we use as ammo for more complaining. All the action we do is online and nobody does real action IRL like talking to congress, demonstrating, or talking to people outside of our privacy bubble.

So I'm done. I joined my local EFF chapter and have been a much more useful person. Join yours and do more privacy advocating offline!

Does the location of a WHOIS privacy provider matters?

I've noticed that some registrars like Namecheap and Porkbun, who offer WHOIS privacy, do so through a seemingly different company (Withheld for Privacy in case of Namecheap and Privacy by Design for Porkbun). And I noticed that one of them is based in the US, while the other is based on Iceland, which is supposed to be way better than the US in terms of data protection laws. The question is: Does this make a difference in how these providers operate, even if their respective registrars are based on the US themselves?

Alternative to Signal with same level of privacy but do not share phone number?

So I found that Signal messenger is highly regarded when it comes to privacy. But using it by requiring a phone number to be used and that you have to share this to people you're talking with is kind of intrusive for me. The reason why I liked Telegram is because I don't have to share my phone number and that I can make a user handle that I can publicly share, which I can also change or remove anytime. So my question, is there a messaging app that has the same level privacy (or more) as Signal but also have the Telegram user feature that I mentioned?

Thanks.


Edit:

P.S. no app suggestions coming from Meta pls. :P

Android keyboard recommendations?

I am new to Android and noticed in Adguard that my Gboard has already sent 17MB of data after a couple of days of usage.

Therefore, my question: is there any recommendation for a simple, offline and privacy-respecting keyboard on Android that the community here would recommend using?

Is Protonmail worth paying for?

Hi there, I was using disroot as my private email and I was thinking of applying it to the all aspects of my life. The problem is sometimes disroot gets offline, it has no e2ee encryption, calender/contacts have zero encryption. It needs to be Thunderbird compatible where both e-mails serve this purpose. I found protonmail to be all around email provider with free cloud storage and wondering if it is worth the switch and pay monthly. (I don't like paid subscription services) I will use this e-mail to send e-mails to unencrypted email holders so probably my mails as a whole will be unencrypted.

Note: Please be kind and sympathetic. Any rude and aggressive messages will be blocked and reported. Thanks.

andOTP disappeared?

Hello, I'm researching Android OTP apps and andOTP comes up regularly as one to look at. As of this morning all links I can find to the Google Play Store show it as not found.

I did find a link to it on F-Droid.

Can anyone comment on the path of this app off Google and only on F-Droid?

Firefox privacy extensions choice

Hi, I used to use :
1- uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentralizer and ClearUrls for privacy.
2- AudioContext Fingerprint Defender,Defender,Font Fingerprint Defender for Fingerprint defending.

My question, which is the minimal setup that I should have for both 'cause I doubt that many of them are making the same thing...
