I’ve been on the Android ecosystem for 15 years, I literally thought this was an onion article.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.

I’m all for privacy, but I’m not all for using the comment section to talk about abortion rights. Sure there is some overlap, but the comment section here seems to show the ease of which the human psyche can get distracted, these tangential bickerings are the reason big data is so effortlessly steam rolling us.

Have you considered using a sandbox app such as Insular which is available on F-droid or Shelter.

Shelter creates a work profile, isolating apps installed in this profile from the mainland. Shelter has the advantage of supporting per-site data isolation with Android 13, which achieves the same goal as sandboxing.

You can isolate entirely your contacts from being seen by other apps if set up correctly. Furthermore, Shelter allows for a VPN only for the work profile, which is a useful feature for enhancing privacy.

I have used an app called island in the past, but sadly it’s been discontinued,it was great as it allowed a VPN both outside and inside the sandbox.

It’s great, I’m not sure if it can be tweeked like the FUTO speech to text app but it’s fast. I have had it miss a couple of words but that may have just been coincidence.

It is for me (android, iceraven browser) and I don’t get any text after the heading.

I’m not ignoring my friends; I’m just pointing out that due to the convenience of these apps, the people around me use them without seeming to care about their privacy implications.

I guess you are right, for me I just try to avoid all Google links and products in the first place. I understand that you can tweak privacy controls and settings that allow you to manage how your data with Google is collected, I could also use a privacy browser or incognito, but my main issue is not giving any of these juggernaut corporations a chance to swing and cash in on my personal data.

The problem for me is when someone sends me a location pin it is almost always a Google map link. I have the same issue with people in my community using whatsapp.

Xitter, nice name, sounds like an adolescent skin condition.

“it’s not known whether the leak came from within the company or one of its vendors.”

Isn’t it time that big tech companies and their sale of private data get regulated? I see a giant class-action lawsuit in the making here.

Unfucking believable, also the grift continues “Avast has been acquired by Gen Digital, a firm that contains Norton, Avast, LifeLock, Avira, AVG, CCLeaner, and ReputationDefender, among other security businesses.”

Brilliant, A.I does the heavy lifting takes data for free then resells access to it while us who contributed for the last decade don’t get a dime.
