I2P could be a solid option over TOR then, no?

A solid privacy conscious youtuber, The Hated One, just published a video on this exact topic. It’s very detail oriented and should be easy for anyone to follow along. Here’s the link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=A8ZXDiQLH9I

Oh, I see, I interpreted the statement as Mozilla handing over previously collected user data as payment for getting AccuWeather’s widget.

However, any webpage visited in a bowser provides this info. So if you haven’t stopped it happening from the get, you’re handing this data over in mass. But thanks for clearing that up for me!

Why would Mozilla pay AccuWeather in user data? This would cut into their revenue and be horrendous press. Doing so makes no sense, legit entirely illogical. AccuWeather paid to get placement on the new tabs page. But, if you’re this worried about it and haven’t spent time in about:config to prevent fingerprinting, tracking, and location data collection, start there for sure. Either way, this seems like a huge stretch and wouldn’t make sense for Mozilla try and pull off.

Are you implying Mozilla paid AccuWeather to have placement on it’s browser? It’s always the other way around, think about Google paying to be the default search engine on Safari. If anything, I have to think Mozilla was paid to incorporate AccuWeather and not the other way around.

Yep! Insects can use their legs, mouthparts, as well as other specialized structures for grooming. In addition, some beetles actually use water to wash off dirt and contaminants. Other insects make and secret substances for cleaning. A common example of this is ants using formic acid as a disinfectant. Then, similar to monkeys, bugs like bees and ants conduct social grooming. This helps with the colonies overall health.

Standard Notes is my go to for notes 100%. It’s all about privacy through encryption and is FOSS. Plus for this specific scenario, it also allows for notes export.

I just use radindiemedia.com as my source for these news feeds. It’s curated by an activist who also mixes in some of his work as well as a few other news sources. But those sites make up the vast majority of the links.

Sounds like you’re looking for independent journalism, I’m in the same boat. I’ve found checking commondreams.org, scheerpost.com, therealnews.com, unicornriot.ninja, fair.org, thecanary.co, leftvoice.org, consortiumnews.com, labornotes.org, and popularresistance.org/news make for a great news feed. Those are an array of independent news outlets which keep it almost entirely just news. Setting up an RSS feed with these sites would be a solid move to ensure your getting news with none of the BS.

Really? It says I need to upgrade my plan to Pro in order to use the discrete merchants feature.

Could you simply change the file name once it’s downloaded? Maybe add the date or something similar to the end. This would prevent the issue in the ProtonMail app.

Fossify’s Messenger is awesome, it handles SMS/MMS plus it’s ad free and open-source.

I said “more affordable” as I was comparing the 8a, 8, and 8 Pro. Whenever a new model comes out, last years always has a price cut. I didn’t think referencing the 7a was required, as it’s implied it’s less expensive than 8a. But the 7a only will be supported for 5 years, while 8a will be for 7 years. This alone could make it the better choice. However, I know finances are different for everyone. Regardless, when I said it’s more affordable, this was a reference to it being noticeably less expense than the 8 and 8 Pro.

The Pixel 8a is more affordable vs the 8 and 8 Pro. The 8a comes in at $499, while the 8 cost $699 and the Pro runs $999. The 8a still has an amazing camera, the battery will give you no problems, and it’s not a MASSIVE device like most phones these days. It’s probably the best way to get on Graphene OS at a reasonable price point.

JMP is the bees knees, couldn’t be happier with the service. The app takes a little bit of getting used to, but once dialed in it can function right along side your phones main number. Zero issues with it working on websites too, highly recommended!

Android user? Graphene looks like it’s worth the setup process more and more. Pixels are the only Google product worth while thanks to Graphene really.

Just like the link in the iOS section, there’s a link in the Android section. Both were in the first sentence, I believe. But I had to give the article another once over to find it.

I mean, the doc’s are available through the link. But here’s some screen grabs:

AFU: After First Unlock

BFU: Before First Unlock

BF: Brute Force

FBE: File Based Encryption

FDE: Full Device Encryption

FFS: Full File System

Ok, good to know. But aside from knowing you’re a researcher, what other info could someone get after seeing you credited as an author? I’d think as long as you practice solid online privacy, the only thing someone could learn is your specific field of study. Do you use a tool like Optery to remove your name from data brokers? Is Lemmy your only social media account? If you said no to either of these, maybe start there to help reduce your online footprint.

If there’s really just your name associated with research publications online, your in an exponentially better situation than most. Getting published is a process too, it’s not just submit and it’s online. This being the case, I’d say it isn’t a very big deal for privacy. However, I’d wonder if you could use a pseudonym in a publication. Probably not, but it’d be worth checking out.
