I think the fediverse does have a privacy problem, however as long as your account can’t be linked to you (malicious instance, your email being breached) it doesn’t matter all that much (at least for my threat level) because the info is confined to the fediverse, where little can be done with it, especially if you swap instances/accounts commonly. Yes, one could create a profile on you based on what you upvote/downvote, but they can’t for example use that to serve targeted ads, because the fediverse doesn’t have a ad network and when visiting other sites they can’t associate your profile with you (assuming you don’t reuse your username), unless I am forgetting something.

tldr: The fediverse isn’t private, but the data is practically useless

Which clients do you recommend for IOS?

How it works: I don’t know about this service in particular, but usually the shared contains the encryption key so like this: example.com/files/file_id/encryption_key or something similar

As for trust: This appears to be a individual, so you will have to just trust it when using the public instance. However, since it is FOSS, you can audit the code and spin up your own instance

Damm I never considered that. I always thought it was a drink

Privacy wise it very much is still Firefox with different defaults (telemetry disabled, do not track enabled), the changes to upstream are mainly the UI and some performance enhancements

Mainly, yeah

I believe the third one

.com when .net shows up

This is so true. There have been many occasions where I thought someone was using TikTok, but it was just another app that looked exactly the same (Instagram, LinkedIn, some guitar learning app etc)

If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:

NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.

Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

But think of the shareholders. They would loose so much money they would probably have to sell their third yacht!

It allows you to use WhatsApp without giving them full access to your contacts, so privacy wise I do want this feature

Answer of Bitwarden founder:

Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

1. the SDK and the client are two separate programs

2. code for each program is in separate repositories

3. the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

Care to share what parental control you are using on Linux?

They don’t help if the ad is embedded directly into the podcasts mp3 file by the podcasters server

I have never used Spotify. This injection is directly done by the podcast server, it will happen on whatever player you use.

Sadly not for me 😔

How do you do it for podcasts? I already use mullvad Adblock dns, but that doesn’t seem to work

Linux ISOs obviously./s

On a more serious note: if you are downloading public domain movies or similar from the internet archive a download manager really helps.
