I replaced SearxNG with degoog on my server. Feels very much like Google, yet it is not. I did enable Google for search results and image, but it refuses to work (good). Am using DuckDuckGo and Startpage instead, through degoog, of course.

So, you love absolute transparency, but you hate privacy. Alright. Then you will answer my questions truthfully.
Where do you live? How much income do you have per month? What is your bank account number? Do you use VISA or Mastercard? What is your credit card number including the expiration date and the CVC?
And no, I am not a troll, troll.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Mullvad is apparently the main financier of a Swedish far-right partyEnglish
21·15 days agoThat is true, but since the other employeers at Mullvad don’t like Daniel’s donation, they don’t take his side. Of course it’s very shameful that he did that donation, and I truly hope he gets fired.
But one thing must be clear: facts should be just that: facts! Daniel took his own money and personally donated it to that shitty party - not Mullvad!

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Discord Is Testing Incode for Age Verification, and the Privacy Concerns Are LegitimateEnglish
1·15 days agoHow can Discord users be 100% sure that Discord will delete their very private data after being verified? Where is the source code for that so we can verify it?
Oh. Wait. Discord is closed sourced…

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Mullvad is apparently the main financier of a Swedish far-right partyEnglish
31·15 days agoThe company Mullvad do not support nor like Daniel Berntsson’s donation which is a personal donation from Daniel himself.
Mullvad as a company do not support far-right.

I have tried Infomaniak. Extremely hard to understand their control panel! Very high learning curve. But that has maybe changed since last time I had a subscription (before the pandemic).
Now I use Posteo and I love it.
I am not surprised. Meta is the company that do not follows the rules and gathers as much data about their users + others outside of their services (mainly thanks to Meta Pixel), as they possibly can. Extremely greedy!
- If you want to switch to a safer place to chat on, switch to Signal.
- If you want more privacy and stability, switch to XMPP and use OMEMO (Signal Protocol).
- If you want maximum privacy, switch to SimpleX.
Awesome! I truly, truly hope that the self-hosted version will not require a phone number for each user. That is basically the only reason why I don’t use web.fluxer.app, even if date of birth requirement is alarming (due to age verification that have bloomed “everywhere”).
Aha. That news. Thanks for the reminder.
Fill me in, what have GOG done? Please link to trustworthy source(s).

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Flo period tracker sells user data to Meta and GoogleEnglish
66·3 months agoUse softwares that are open sourced and be happy. There’s plenty of period tracking apps on F-Droid.
Open sourced softwares can’t hide trackers from users since the source code must be up-to-date. If not, people will be suspicious. And if a open sourced software do use trackers, the community will complain… a lot!
What description? :) You wrote the title of the video. That itself explans the topic of the video, but nothing more. We who don’t opens the link wants to know in short what the video is truly about.
Anyway. I say good buy now :) Take care.
Honestly, writing a summary of a video uploaded to YouTube is a very valid thing to do for any YouTube video (I am not alone with not opening links that goes to Big Tech’s services). Just copy and paste the video’s description, use DeepL or Offline Translator to translate it if it is not in English. Super easy to do. And if the video does not have any description, just write what the video is all about (but explains more than the title does). Doesn’t have to be a long summary.
And for the Piped instances. Yes, unfortunately a lot of them are not working. That is why I installed it on my own server last year or so. But I would rather see a link to a Piped instance than a link to YouTube. That way I have a choice to switch instance. But with a link that leads to youtube.com, I need to copy the URL (if I can) or open the link and spam Esc or the X icon in hope that Google will not log anything about me. Just use piped.video (the official instance) and people will be happy. Much more privacy-friendly, too.
Yeah, I know. But wanted to say it anyway.
Never ever post a link to YouTube in a channel that are about privacy! Link to a privacy-friendly front-end like Piped instead.




Alright.
Follow the instructions and answer all of these questions truthfully so we can build a profile of you. Since you love full transparency and hate privacy, doing all of this without any lies should be easy for you.
