How are people surprised? How is this news?

The second you mentioned Google you're talking about an all-seeing totalitarian state. Nothing you said about imbedding tracking links in docs is surprised. As a corporation they are always developing new ways to pimp you out and make you turn tricks for Google without you knowing while they keep all of the pay from your actiities.

Google tries to turn every human on the planent into their personal money making whore.

First choice is always talk on SimpleX, second is Signal/Molly for something easier, there is no other app that I use.

Did you run a progran to proactive zero out and wipe the whole drive like Parted Magic and then reboot system to load Windows boot media or did you use the Windows installer to only delete the partitions and install Windows again but not actively wipe the drive first?

For 10, unplug ethernet or do not connect to wi-fi and it should all you to continue or allow you to skip creating an MS account.

On the one system I use for gaming, before I install 10 which I have done a few times, I shutdown computer, physically unplug ethernet cable, then turn on computer and start the installation process, and I've created a local account everytime. Do not plug in cable or connect online until Windows has rebooted to the start desktop with Start menu. If you connect during installation it could force you to create online account.

You found malware in the source code for RiseUpVPN? The source code is publicly accessible, what kind of malware is in it?

Proton is trying to do too many things and can't excel at doing one thing. It's getting too big beyond its capabilities which means services are going to suffer at a lower quality.

If the want blanket trust from users, remove the VPN login to make it anonymous and change the VPN code to remove all anti-features and comply with native F-Droid, other RiseUpVPN is the only choice for everybody to use.

Stroganoff is quite good if cooked correctly, may I try a taste of it? I'm messing with you

From doing network security, configuring server OS and software for security and privilege seperation, it seemed privacy was a natural growth out of doing system and network security.

OMEMO is fantastic! Doesn't Matrix log history?

To verify online sign up and not registering your number with an app or service, your only choice is to pay for a second number or not sign up at all.

There's an addendum, it depends on how Android is used. If a person gets everything from Play Store which means they logged in to a Google account, Android is disgusting compared to iPhone.

However if a person disables the various Google services and sideloads all of the apps, then yes, Android is superior to iPhone for privacy.

 
 

I have never received receieved notifications through the usual notifications at the top of the screen, does the app not do that or is it my phone? I have to open Jerboa to see that I got either a reply or a message.

I use the F-Droid version of Jerboa on GrapheneOS 13.
