how private are RSS feeds?
How could anyone find out which sites are you following using an RSS feed? And I mean in a broad way: can the site track you? Can ISP? Network managers?
Let's say you want to follow a bunch of political sites that you don't want to be easily attached to, is RSS a good way to do it? Are there extra precautions to take?
My first thought would be that it's the same as using any other browser, so not a great way to be private. Am I wrong?
Hi! Tried a few options to download the epub and they all required login Is there one that doesn't or it'll have to settle with PDF?
"Do you know why there has never been a coup in America? Because there is no US Embassy there! "
Old joke from down here
Tried Neo, didn't like it enough, FDroid seemed cleaner and simpler.
I might try droidifyin the future, but it kind of annoys me that everyone is suggesting other apps instead of answering my question. I'm not asking for a replacement, I just want FDroid to work.
OK, I'll give it time then Thanks
Great site! Thanks for the info
I also use obtainium. Nothing of this answer my question
Tried Neo a few months ago, went back to fdroid
FDroid vs FDroid Basic
I've using FDroid for some time now, but now it says "it was developed for an older Android version (I'm on 14) and can't update automatically" I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn't recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?
I use Obtanium, but I also like to wander around fdroid categories and discovering apps to try. Is there something similar with obtanium? Where do you find new apps?
Too bad Pixels aren't easily found outside the US
Basically my idea, too
know this company?
I'm just curious This people just randomly started following me on twiter. I found it a odd and the site looks bit... Not serious, lacking better word
Well, you do it. Other people is not so afraid of a little "exercise"
Do you have anywhere to be instead?
I might give it a try just out of curiosity... But I don't think it's what I was looking for. How is this better than Mull with UBlock and Privacy Badger?
Oh, I wasn't telling you... But to whoever though it was necessary a study to find that out.
Sounds interesting, but I haven't found much online about it yet (mostly ads) I'll investigate. Thanks
browser for webapps?
I'm looking for an android browser to open webapps isolated from my general browsing
I've been using Mull as disposable browsing and brave for login into places (shopping, social), but I don't like that if I want to stay logged it also keeps history record. I think it would happen with any browser I use, right? Any suggestions?
Thanks! Hadn't found how to use swipe and thought it wasn't supported Don't use speech to text, but i was missing swiping
Did the same thing, but now I can see it was updated today in Izzy
Just checked and it's already updated there.
Duck Tracker Block vs VPN
Hi! I started learning about privacy a few months ago and there is a few (many) things I'm struggling to understand and I would thank you if you could share some documentation/sites to learn more
One of the issues is about DuckDuck Tracker Blocker on android phone (low/moderate threat level), which takes the VPN spot. Is it really useful? I've uninstalled several apps and replaced with FOSS when possible, so it's not blocking a lot of stuff lately (or so it says) I've also been trying Proton Free+nextDNS (also not sure how to choose lists) but IDK how to decide which one is better, but I'm wondering: does DNS make the blocker app redundant? Isn't it kinda the same job (different lists, maybe)?
Thanks in advance!
Social Media on RSS?
Hi I'm not a fan of social media and I left TW recently because I realized I spent too much time in there doomscroling and getting angry. That's how I found Lemmy
but there are still a few IG and TW accounts that I would like to keep tabs on (local news, content creators, stuff like that) Is there a way to maybe put all that in a single app in a controlled feed? I though maybe RSS (Been using Feeder recently, still building my sources but I like it) could be an answer but I haven't found a tool that's free and still working (I know it's the opposite of their business model)
My hopes are not high, but thanks im advance for any answer
Should I add any other repo?
That's it. Would you recommended any other repository?
