Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App? (lemmy.zip)
Why don’t you like Apple? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I was thinking about Nothing Phone 2. Does the brand give off a good image in terms of privacy?

Wow, this is the most complete answer I have ever seen. But is it wrong if I stay at Apple? Are there any competitors on the Android side that are worth it (I am thinking in particular of a pixel on which GrapheneOS is installed)?

I agree, I myself am a programmer but hey not everyone is installing IDEs and game engines and Linux on their tablet. Steam could be interesting knowing that Apple authorizes alternative stores in the European Union. The iPad is not complete indeed, but it is just a consumer computer that targets people who do not want to complicate their lives as well as artists (Apple pencil).

Basically you go on Reddit (It is French on the image because I'm French), you click on "log in" and look at the connection options.

It's exactly like the "Connect with Google" feature but also "private" according to them. I don't know if it's a marketing argument or what but unlike Google they generate an alias email that is similar to what Proton does but for free. There is a Windows App.

Proton VPN NetShield (lemmy.zip)
 

I'm curious to know what Proton VPN's ad blocker offers, but I don't see any videos or articles showing how it works. So I am addressing VPN users, because there is no free trial unfortunately to try it:

  • Does it block Cookie's banners?
  • Is it necessary for the VPN to be constantly activated to benefit from the block?
  • Is it better than uBlock-Origin?
  • When is the page loading speed consistent?
  • On iPhone, does the battery take a hit?

No one talks about this feature even though it is highlighted by Proton themselves (https://protonvpn.com/en/features/adblocker).

Proton Pass VS Passwords App (lemmy.zip)
 

This week, Apple released in the latest update of iOS and MacOS an application that is simply called "Passwords".

In my opinion, Apple could be a serious competitor to Pass: both provide temporary emails, both manage Passkeys, but what I think sets Apple apart from Proton is the "Connect with Apple" feature. Passwords are also encrypted (for Apple via the default iCloud Keychain).

Of course, Proton does not have the same financial income as Apple, which pushes them, for example, to ask to pay for two-factor authentication. But I stay with Proton because I simply love the values of the company but also because I have my emails, my calendar, my drive that are on Proton.

Now I think it would be interesting for Proton to work on an alternative to "Connect with Google" or "Connect with Apple". What do you think?

It is true that a real Firefox on iOS/iPadOS is missing. But otherwise you can’t say that your iPad is ONLY used to watch Netflix 🤣 I mean, some people replace their computer with an iPad!

Yes, thank you for answering the privacy issue. To be honest, I use Apple products but not so much iCloud. I’m in the Proton ecosystem and I’m waiting for Firefox to become less terrible than it currently is, otherwise in the meantime I’m using Safari with AdGuard...

Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

I don’t know... I would have liked them to set up a system of instances like on Lemmy or Mastodon to remove the price barrier + lazy to pay an app €12.

[UPDATE] Thank you for your comments but I found that Write Freely was well on paper but not funny to set up (self hosting) and maybe a little dead. I found that https://bearblog.dev met the specifications well. Although it is not integrated into the Fediverse, it is free and respectful of privacy!

Everything is in the title. I am looking for a FREE alternative to Blogger but that allows me to share Blog articles in the Fedivers. I don’t like WordPress.com because it is very limited in its free version and not very transparent about privacy in my opinion unlike WordPress.org. In short, if you have any suggestions, I’m taking it!

What's the concensus on SpaceHey? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Thank you for making me discover the site! Regarding Peertube, it’s more complicated, it’s better to use Piped to continue using YouTube...

PeerTube on the idea is great but you have to be honest, YouTube is better. So this is what I did in this specific case to fight the bad Google: I registered on a Piped instance to continue watching videos without ads, without trackers, without sponsored passages, etc... and if you have an Apple device there is an app for that, it’s called Yattee.

I have a Mastodon account but honestly like PeerTube I like it on paper but there is only politics, so if you have accounts to recommend me I’m taking.

Otherwise Linux Mint is really special I approve of your choice.
