I don’t know specifically, but you can look at blocking Steam’s telemetry.

I have. And I noted it in the recent survey as a must have.
I think you’re looking for an IR blocking solution like this: https://github.com/nickbild/freedom_shield
use Netiquette
Wow, I haven’t heard that in long time.

Does Apple encryption encrypt it from Apple? I legitimately don’t know the answer to this, but I doubt it. Proton can’t see your data even if they wanted to.
Yeah, other than freezing credit, there’s not much you can do. It’s a toothpaste out of the tube scenario. It’s basically too late. The offerings always suck and are basically only there so they can say they’re doing something for you.
Other than that, harden your privacy in general. Yeah, it doesn’t help for breaches like this because you can’t hide from your doctors, but simple things like having an alternate email address makes it a tiny bit better.
Yeah, that’s the one that came up in my initial search. The recommended app Tuner is pretty damn good.
This is my understanding as well. History of the platform skews it left.
But I also don’t think in terms of left and right (though its hard to get away from the terms so widely used). For instance, most people tend to describe the difference in terms of money and profit (capitalism). I look at control and freedom. I don’t want governments controlling what we see, hear, and say. I want us all to control our own lives. Lemmy/Fedi is completely supportive of that concept.
Thanks for the rec. I tried it last night and am very happy with it, better than what I expected.
I actually own a chromatic tuner, and it stays at home with my guitar. Sometimes I’m elsewhere and need a tuner. Which for the record the recommended Tuner app is phenomenal, and very accurate.
Thanks. I wholeheartedly agree. I was just looking for recommendations from the community based on experience.
Thank you. I’m going to check it out.
Also Snowden calls Signal the best messenger on the grounds on him using it daily and still being alive so that’s also a pretty good sign.
The real litmus test right here.
People like to ntpick and fight. GrapheneOS is one of the best options (realistically of just a few) out there, and it’s pretty damn good and simple to get into.
I’m an old fart that grew up on these games too. They were what I lived for. Kings Quest 1 blew me away. Then 2 had me hooked. 3 was another level and felt so big.
I collected their catalogs and dreamed f what would come next. There was a box art for KQ4 they showed in the catalog that didn’t make it to the actual box. It was amazing and I wished I had that.
I also played Space, Police, and Heros Quest, but Kings Quest was my jam.
I keep waiting to be disappointed and it hasn’t happened yet. I’m cautiously optimistic.
I can’t comment on their privacy, but I thought of Nine when I read your post. I used it back before the Outlook app supported folders. I think it was a great alternative and worked better than anything out there… Mind you, it was years ago.
Also, have you thought about using a different user profile for just work? I know you’re asking about apps but you can gain some privacy from segregation too.
Have you read Means of Control (Byron Tau)? He tracks the evolution of all of this and how we got to where we are today. Yes, 9/11 fast-tracked it but there’s so much more to it. Highly recommended.
As others have said, it’s all about your threat model.
For me, I keep mic and camera off at all times until I need it. Its a slight nuisance, but I’m nearly sure that it covers all the bases.
I could go hardcore and physically disable the mic in my phone, then only use earbuds for my mic. That’s a bit much for me, and maybe my situation is a bit much for you.
