  • Probably depends on where someone lives. You can only dismiss a certain amount I thought.

  • There are bad actors in government. People working those cases like the ones you did have way more integrity than the bad faith actors in the DoD. There are bad faith actors in governments breaking the law every day.

  • Ohhhh. I see how it works now. So every link that dbzer0 users click on goes through that, but if I was a Lemmy.world user all the links I click on would go through that?

  • A chat space on Matrix has appeared

    Jump

  • Can someone please advise how to get on Matrix? I guess I couldn't figure out how to make an account and use the client (think it was called Schildi or some such.)

    Also, what's up with all the permissions needed on the clients? There were over 30 for fluffy chat.

  • I saw Reddit on my work computer yesterday. It's absolute garbage. I'm not even sure how people can screw something up that badly.

  • It's worse in you forties and female. I swear I am so stressed that I'm about to have a heart attack. Unfortunately, that almost certainly means an increased dose in meds is a very bad idea.

    I always think everyone is mad at me. I wish I was normal and also 20 IQ points dumber for just a week so I could live for that one week.

  • You can delete MicroG with Android Debloater. You will not be able to do most transactions afterwards.

  • how do I make my new phone more private

  • Also, consider a threat model to prevent "privacy fatigue". Sometimes people implement countermeasures without realizing it doesn't help them. At least define your privacy concerns and only implement what addresses those.

    It sounds ridiculous, but I made this rookie mistake for a year and it was exhausting. Privacy is tough sometimes, but you don't need everything. I just want to look at cat pictures without google selling my info and using profits to undermine government. Some folks will be executed if they are found dissenting against gov on the Internet. Those are vastly different issues with different countermeasures. Good luck!

  • Here are alt OSs for phones. The last rows on the big table show "supported devices" and there are a few for Motorola. Some might only work with certain models. That is most likely the case. Do not do this if you can't tolerate a bricked phone unless you're confident. I just say that as warning because I truly don't know how hard it is yet.

  • Alternatively, if you want to do the same thing without a USB, try Shizuku and Canta from Fdroid. Shizuku allows mods over WiFi and Canta does almost the same thing as the tool linked above, but it doesn't seem to have apk descriptions like the desktop debloater tool. It's just a way to do something similar on your phone. However, iirc the debloater allows more options like saving which apks you deleted or disabled or some such.
