Vega

The name “lineage” is because it’s a “descendant” of cyanogenmod, not because it’s intended for older phones

It’s not just paranoid, it’s totally toxic and aggressive. He attacked and verbally abused dozen of different project for naive reasons, and spread FUD and slanders about other developers and projects

Litterally one of the most famous tech guy on the web and one of the most influential voice of the “repair yourself” movement, on the internet for years

Bluetooth give a lot more information about your surrounding (what device your phone detect or connect, for how much time, distance from objects, etc.), not only from your phone alone, but from other people phones who have bluetooth on and e.g. never disable any tracking from google services too. And the Mac address for bluetooth never change, so any device (and tracking company) will know you is forever you. Bluetooth is a privacy nightmare, and this is totally a dark pattern. People not knowing what they’re doing is of course a thing, but it seems just a usual bad practice by google, who like to manipulate especially not tech-savvy people

Phones in India can be bought for near 50$, and that provide everything a common citizen (and I mean mandatory government app and messaging) need. And 50$ still isn’t cheap for most of the population. It’s a totally different economy than usa

You’re right, I’m dumb. Nextcloud has a e2e plugin, but you have to lose a lot of functionality, and I still think it isn’t worth it if you host your own instance

DivestOS developer (yep, just one guy) is awesome. Give it a try when you have time

Mmm… I still think you mean server side: if someone seize your server shouldn’t be able to read your file. If someone have physical access to your server while it is still turn on and not rebooted, it will have access to your files even with e2e turned on. E2e encrypt data while it is transfered from client to server (in case of nextcloud)

If physical security concern you, you should encrypt your disk, but e2e isn’t really useful if you host your instance and use a VPN to connect (it’s not necessary even if you trust the 3rd party that host your data, actually)

I thank you for your effort in this post, and I appreciate anyone who try to give real and complete answer to this kind of question, but I’d like to point out that madaidan “guides” aren’t reliable, and shouldn’t be linked as useful source of information, since he usually just spread FUD. Nothing he even wrote is actually useful to real users and common people, and even if I understand he know what he’s talking about this doesn’t mean his interpretation is correct. Security isn’t absolute, and safety from any ideal danger that at this time no one even know how to exploit shouldn’t be the ultimate goal for everyone. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I made myself clear

You can set gestures on spacebar to delete whole word. This is why I say anysoft need a lot of time, because probably your needs are already fulfilled, but find the option is an ordeal

Yes, it is possible, but it’s hard to find the option. Here an answer on GitHub https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/1524

AnySoftKeyboard, I use it and love it, but it need a lot of time to be configured exactly like you want

So, if I want to access a website, google has to collect a record about me, and only if the fucking company approve my past behavior I can access the site. Of course if I don’t have any past records I can’t (easily?) access the website. Simply awesome.

Try nextcloud

Great addon made by great people, check it out :)

Even if not really as powerful, ublock in advanced mode (nightmare setting, so kind of everything blocked) is a decent replacement. You can check jshelter too if you like another layer, specifically for javascript

Linux and everything FOSS (and not only open source) IS political. It’s a clear ethical choice and it impact everyone who use the software. The entire FOSS movement IS political

IMHO, the problem is more subtle: nothing on the internet will stay forever, if you find a piece of information you like to save forever, you should save it locally AND with something like internet archive. A community can transfer to the same community in another server with proper forewarning. Finally, mastodon introduced the ability to move your account to another istance manteining your followers for quite a while now, maybe lemmy can find a way to introduce something like that too

No? Bug happens and I want my password to stay offline. Bitwarden isn’t easy to selfhost and only with vaultwarden fork it become viable for users with SBC. Keepass, keepassxc and the like are still one of the best choice to store your password. If you like bitwarden stay with it, but this CVE isn’t a reason to invalidate keepass
