The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.

For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.

Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.

2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.

Strongbox is nice to store passwords.

PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.

And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

So... #Signal and #Wire, which both have issues, but not #Matrix / #XMPP? And for video, 2 #YouTube front ends and a proprietary YouTube clone, but no direct mention of #Peertube? And for Translation, the proprietary #Deepl, but no mention of the local and #Privacy respecting #Firefox #translate

I appreciate the intent of this post, but the research is... outdated at best.


I somehow just learned about the IETF's "Privacy Pass" working group, along with Google and Apple's respective implementations ("Private State Tokens", "Private Access Tokens"), and I'm so damn tired of DRM being the answer to everything.

Mozilla wrote a blog post in December of 2023 about why they decided not to implement it:

blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-se…

...and the IETF has a page to track the working group's drafts:

ODF wholesome encryption is the default password (symmetric) encryption mode in LibreOffice 24.8.

Supports AES-256-GCM and Argon2id.

LibreOffice 24.2/24.8 is required to open the encrypted files.

🛡️ Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
— WIRED

「 Signal is, in many ways, the exact opposite of the Silicon Valley model. It’s a nonprofit that has never taken investment, makes its product available for free, has no advertisements, and collects virtually no information on its users—while competing with tech giants and winning 」

Se più persone fanno un piccolo passo verso la #privacy possiamo fare la differenza!

Gmail -> @protonprivacy o @Tutanota

WhatsApp -> @matrix -> richiedi l'invito alla stanza M1 a @amministratore

Google Drive -> @nextcloud richiedi account 25GB -> cloud.mastodon.uno/apps/forms/…

Instagram -> @pixelfed

YouTube -> @peertube

Iniziate con poco! Non serve fare tutto in una volta ma passo dopo passo.

E se date una reblog a questo post potremmo raggiungere più persone in questo movimento per la privacy!







"Wir schätzen Ihre Privatsphäre" – jaaaa, gaaanz sicher! Und wir teilen sie…

* mit 1574 Partnern
* einschließlich genauer Standortinformationen
* um Ihnen gaaaanz private Werbung zu schicken

Man beachte: Es gibt nur "Alles akzeptieren" – nix anderes. Friss oder stirb!

Unter "Zwekce" geht's dann weiter: 683 Anbieter fordern Zustimmung an. Aha. Laut Taschenrechner wollen also 891 "einfach mal so ohne". Toll. Das schätzen WIR nicht!
