The most trafficked animal in the world. Protect these little guys.

These are the best people on earth.

But is it prettier than the Puteketeke?

Synology Photos. I’ve heard Immich is quite good too.

It’d be helpful to learn more about your requirements. Does it need to be open source? Any must-have features? Native apps? Etc.

Lotta good recommendations here. If you get GrapheneOS, you could get any keyboard (including GBoard) and turn off its network access at the app level (as well as sensors and other permissions), which would make virtually any keyboard privacy-friendly.

Who doesn’t like an underdog? 😤

I got someone to use Signal recently, because I don’t text outside of it. Last week, she asked me why that is. I sent this Bruce Schneier essay on the eternal value of privacy to someone who knows absolutely nothing about tech, and she understood.

I’m gonna try it again next time it comes up with someone else. I think this essay does a really good job of putting it into perspective, so I’m hoping this is the silver bullet I can continue to send when someone asks.

Overall, in general, I try to keep it in real world terms. Why do you close the door when you go to the bathroom? Why do you lock your doors? Why do you have curtains/blinds? etc., along with what some other intelligent people responded here.

I’ve never understood this either, given the whole notion and enthusiasm behind decentralization. I get the trade-offs regarding privacy, security, and convenience, but if you’re really tryna start a movement, and you really believe in the concept and principles of something like cryptocurrency, it seems like your communities and communication channels should also reflect similar values.

Discord UX be like

I think about this Jaron Lanier talk a lot.

Good to know, thanks

Hmm … Not sure we’re referring to the same thing. Perhaps I can clear it up:

When you long press an app icon, there’s an option labeled “App info.”

Jump into it, and it should show options to open the app, uninstall it, force stop, and disable. There’s other app settings listed as well.

Then, if you jump into Permissions, does it have the option for you to toggle the network access, sensor access, etc.?

Curious: do OEM Android users also get granular app permissions? (Like turning sensors off at the app level)
