For christ sake, is there no open source option for such a simple task?
Edit:
2 people here could point to drip within 15 minutes of my post, and a third to the fact there are options on F-droid. So why the fuck don’t women just use that?
Well i guess the ones with harmful advertising have better graphics or somemeting. Or the fact they allow advertising makes them more visible on google play. And you probably can’t even get drip on iPhones.
i’d like to point out that it shouldn’t be on women (or anyone) to be on constant guard against attacks on their privacy.
yes, it is the state of the world, but the attitude of your comment is victim blaming.
let’s not forget that while we on Lemmy may be aware of the danger of mass surveillance tech, we’re not the majority.
snowden told us years ago how fucked everything is, and surveillance has only grown since then. let’s not forget that it is not normal that corpo data-mining is the norm (along with included de-facto warrantless surveillance). Even though we all should be better, nobody should have to be as careful as we are.
hell, let’s be real. As long as we use a smartphone, we’re not being careful enough either.
if you don’t want to be assaulted.
you don’t have to apologize, in fact i want you to quietly think about my point until it hits home for you.
i know it seems like im baiting an answer, and nothing’s stopping you from replying, but I’m being straight with you here.
Also, i want you to know im not tryina busy your chops specifically. sure i picked your comment to reply to, but I’m also speaking broadly to the room, reminding everybody what we already know; that how we look at pervasive surveillance n how we got to live under it is absolutely broken
