Looks very similar to KDE connect which is pretty sweet also: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

Btw. I've added you as a mod. :)

Yeah, I was going to suggest the same. Probably one of the best rolling distros that is low maintenance.

Where did you even find it? Why are you sharing it and letting it influence you if you know it is questionable?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Who are the people that wrote that website?

It's more than a little questionable. It's read like someone with a vendetta. For example: "report was published when the Matrix developers published some «privacy improvements»" "We have not read it. We do not think it is worth wasting more time."

Just broke into page 1 of Lemmy.ml communities! :) Hopefully more folk can find us.

Posted here as a good baseline to see our progress in community building.

I'm not familiar with Fairmail or k-9. Can you give a little more info on them. I think usually proton mail and tutanota are commonly advocated (https://lemmy.ml/post/2274183).

What do you mean by alias? What is it an alternative for?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Fair points, and thanks for the clarification. It's a very long video so I appreciate the TLDR.

A few commented before I locked it. Apologies. My mistake, I wasn't quick enough :).

I appreciate some of this could be controversial or opinionated so I will try and keep that to a minimum. I will link to discussion threads for each topic so people can dig into the are a bit more and why different things are recommended. This list will be regularly updated.

I want to keep this thread clean, so I’m wondering if it would be better to discuss this in a separate thread.

Thanks very much. By the looks of the Github repo, they have fixed a bug where federating mods with errors will fail: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3460

Hopefully, this is less of an issue in future. Thanks for your assistance. :)

You're doing great. Only you decide whether this is right for you. If you using other companies give 100% of the information about you, by taking steps, you may cut this to 50%, 25%, 10%. It may not be perfect, but it's about restricting this information to protect things about yourself. Don't let perfect get in the way of good. Each step is about gain (to privacy), vs the cost (of inconvenience).

Do I know Google is spying on every email of every product I buy, the time, etc. and building in depth profiles? Probably. Will proton mail, probably not. Less motive. Also, if you use Google search, browser, email, and phone, all that information is in the hands of 1 company. It's harder to pull together, and effectively use when it is spread out. These companies are clever and skillful, but the steps we take mean the common setups they have that work for 99% of people may not work for us. They would have to spend more money to get information on us. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely right now? Probably not.
