happy birthday #tuta and I wish more years to come always encouraging and defending #privacy as it's best. It's been an amazing year for me in the process of #degoogling and switching to tuta was the very first smart step. Cheers !!


Random strangers getting paid to 'relay' YOUR texted login codes from THEIR phone numbers.

Privacy & security nightmare fuel.

Industry is turning away from texted verification because they are insecure... so what is #telegram thinking?

Accrescent 0.18.0 released! This is a minor one with removed privileged installer support and maintenance updates. Changelog below.

https://github.com/accrescent/accrescent/releases/tag/0.18.0

#accrescent #privacy #security #android #appstore


Welp. I’m most probably the last person in the world to use an @netscape.net email address—literally. I’ve had it for over 25 years. I use it for mailing lists and shops and so on.

Meaning: it’s been well-tracked for a long time. And it’s now owned by AOL. Yay (not).

But all other free providers also entailed tracking and such so why bother changing?

That is, until I discovered @Tutanota yesterday. Less than 24 hours and I’m already in the process of moving all my accounts over. Yo.

#Privacy


Yeah switching to a #linux based system is a huge improvement if talking about #privacy. Today most of the software is easily accessible on Linux and works great. Even if there's no dedicated #linux version there are still something like Wine or awesome free and open source alternatives. I can recommend #debian and #popos.

For messaging apps I love #signalmessenger and I can also recommend Session.

For browser as well as a search engine I'd pick Brave.
Librewolf is also great


Privacy tip: When you sell or trade-in a vehicle, remember to erase all of your data from the in-car electronics. The car dealerships will NOT do this, although they should be required to.

This wasn’t done for the last few vehicles I’ve purchased. I know one previous owners name, where she lives, what her taste in music is, where her dad lives (and how often she visited him), and what restaurants she often went to. In the wrong hands, this is dangerous as hell.

Just a bit of a ramble on #android and #apple and #privacy and #security inspired by a recent post by @beardedtechguy.

Protecting your #privacy starts with threat modeling.

By accurately accessing your online #security threats & potential weaknesses, you can better protect your #digital life.

You are one of kind & so is your threat model. You can learn more here: https://tuta.com/blog/threat-modeling-for-you


I'm still wondering whether I should install KDE Connect or not. On the one hand, great smartphone integration on the computer, on the other hand: do I really need it? Longer battery life is more important to me, and for the few times I want to transfer photos to the computer, I can also connect the USB cable.

#Nevada aims to stop minors from using end-to-end #encryption to protect their data. 🚫

Stand up for encryption & #privacy! ✊

This isn't protecting the youth, it's #victimblaming at its finest.

We must stop NV Attorney General Aaron Ford from undermining basic #security practices!

Threat Modeling In 2024: Your Guide For Better #Security

@Tutanota shares some tips on developing a threat model for your personal use case.

Y'know, something which has been bothering me for years…

#Crash reporting is super useful. It highlights #critical #issues in #software. On #Fedora with #GNOME this can be set up to #automaticallyreport such issues.

GNOME assures me the report is #anonymous.

In order to submit the report, I must register, using verified personally identifying information.

No.

Everyone is held to the same #privacy standards. If I cannot submit with #anonymity, or you lie about it, you do not get my support.


We had a great talk with XMTP_Labs last week 🎙️

We love seeing more companies embrace #privacy & join the fight against #bigtech & government #surveillance. ✊🔒

Here's to making the #web a better place #together! 🥂

Eine traurige Wahrheit: Bei der Analyse/Überprüfung des Datenverkehrs einer App, lautet die Frage nicht, ob man Datenschutzverstöße findet, sondern wie viele und wie schwerwiegend diese sind. Davon ausgenommen sind Apps aus dem F-Droid-Store. 🧙‍♂️

RFC time! We're working on specifying how Accrescent's repository should look technically.

- "The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications.”"
- “mass surveillance does not appear to have contributed to the prevention of terrorist attacks, contrary to earlier assertions made by senior intelligence officials.”

A well intentioned piece of advice for all the data brokers out there: If you offer the personal data you‘ve amassed to a privacy professional, they might hit you with everything the GDPR has in store. And yes, that just happened. 🤦‍♂️😆

@Michael Vogel to be honest I check my friendica account from a tablet and you will understand that the people around me can more easily see the content... and as I don't have content filters with the other instances, I don't feel very comfortable sometimes with all the images that appear on the timeline and the idea of choosing what and when to see, seems more comfortable to me.
More #privacy


The next beta version of #Signal will be version 7.0.0.
There's a good reason for the round number. This will be the first version where usernames and phone number privacy are available outside of the staging environment.
From this version on, you'll be able to talk to people on Signal without revealing your phone number, and also, you may use Signal without revealing to people who have your number saved that you do.
This is huge.
