@Tutanota I would love to use /e/OS, but last time I tried installing it, it kinda killed my phone and I had to send it in for repair, so now I kinda don't want to try it again (fairphone 5)

@FynnND @Tutanota

I use a Fairphone 4 that I have been slowly de-Googling.

The DuckDuckGo browser and privacy extensions help.

@johnlogic @FynnND Great choice! We ❤️ @Fairphone

@johnlogic @Tutanota I already use Fennec with AdNauseam and "I still don't care about cookies" and as search engine startpage

my problem is that there is still a lot of spyware in android directly, so I would rather use something different

The AdNauseam browser extension seems pretty cool

AdNauseam - Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To

A browser extension that clicks on every blocked ad to fight advertising surveillance.

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS Are there people who don't know gmail scans your mail?

I knew that when I begged for an invite to get my gmail address. It was the method by which they were making the account free.

It was really stupid of me. I regret it. But I think you have to be completely fucking blind to think your mail is private on gmail.

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS Yes, no one in their right mind would use Gmail, or outlook come to that.

@Tutanota Wants to scan? People should assume they are ignoring any settings and are scanning them anyway.

The thing is, on one hand I don't think I had a personal conversation via email in years. All I got is automated emails (transactional and marketing), and those are unlikely to support encryption (PGP or any other standard) and even if they support, it might not always work due to backyard compatibility.

Business, on the other hand, has the issue of companies using Google and/or Microsoft suites (like mine).

Most of my personal conversations go via WhatsApp (that should be encrypted but... yeah) and Mastodon (E2EE is in the works). Sadly no one uses Signal here, despite it being the most popular FOSS messaging app with safe and enforced E2EE.

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS I don't use Google, but trying to do this for my wife on her Google pixel. Can't find recently visited section in the search engine settings? No mention of Google web...

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS The worst thing is that Google doesn't hide it and people still use it 😥

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS I was with you on turning off the AI search feature until it got to step 4 and I looked through the settings and there was no search engine option. Am I missing something?

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS don't use Google. Problem solved

@Tutanota @GrapheneOS @LineageOS Google ( en general el “sistema”) quiere llevar a las personas a una sola forma de pensar y actuar: consumir, asustar para consumir, mantener un sistema político e ideológico que mantenga el consumismo. Pero fuera de esto el sistema no está interesado: la filosofía, la poesía, el arte están fuera de su foco y en ese sentido se pueden usar las “redes sociales” para leer, estudiar y buscar la verdad en “tu interior” solo es necesario limpiar la basura.
