I don’t google but isn’t it this?

https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

If you have a “long and ugly” URL, it’s usually because it’s full of tracking. Use something like URLCheck or Léon from F-Droid to sanitize that garbage.

I hope it works out for you, please report back

There is https://f-droid.org/packages/se.leap.riseupvpn/

And

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.vpnhood.client.android.web

You can look at those. I personally would rate them as safe, I previously used both. I found rise up to be faster, though neither was ‘fast’, but it’s been awhile since I used them.

Do you know if Tor Snowflake bridges are monitored as well?

You might want to use the proton VPN from F-Droid then. I remember reading that when India was going to ban VPN usage in the past that proton moved their servers to Singapore and used VPS to make it available in India.

Note that I have used proton previously but no longer do.

You can get proton VPN from f-droid, that does not link you to a country specific store.

You can also use Orbot, or InviziblePro (which incorporates Orbot) to use Tor on mobile.

I had never heard of this app, but ex Palantir, earning crypto money, and their website (which has Google tracking) put me off.

They have a ‘Guest Mode’ , I don’t know how long or how much data you can use with it though. Otherwise you need to signup with phone number, email, or Solana address, all of which they store.

Durov is full of shit

Iceraven often lags behind on security updates. I know you specified privacy, but good to keep in mind.

I use Ironfox, because I previously used Mull (rip) with RethinkDNS, and Orbot

From the same source, Blacklight is really good.

https://themarkup.org/series/blacklight

Blacklight is a Real-Time Website Privacy Inspector. Enter the address of any website, and Blacklight will scan it and reveal the specific user-tracking technologies on the site

So you can see what’s happening on a site before you visit it

Many things need an app. I have to use a government one for work, there is no website for it. It’s locked down and will not work on a rooted phone. That’s what I mean.

The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

Gilmore’s quote was true then, it is not the current state of play.

If you need to use banking/government/transit apps, you need to play by the rules now

I don’t get many spam calls but I thought this was what everyone did.

I could do it on my Android 8? Phone. With its notification led, and card slot, and headphone jack… I miss that thing

I’d agree with that, both are problematic.

A lot of stubs should be deleted until they are expanded, they’re often more confusing than knowing nothing at all. I don’t think an LLM summary will help here though.

Reading a few articles deep is not only a pain in the ass, but is going to dissuade those who won’t do it. There’s also the issue that when you do wade in it might link to something that is poorly cited and confusing. Again, I think an LLM is going to make things worse here.

Wikipedia articles already have lead in summaries.

Fuck right off with this

A future experiment will study ways of editing and adjusting this content.

DivestOS (rip) had a chart of updates/security patches. 1st was GrapheneOS, 2nd (right behind, often same day) was DivestOS, LineageOS was often 3rd, then CalyxOS, e/os was well out of date.

This is true, I have been using Grok to learn Spanish, it’s great.
