What does Meta even make per user? This seems like pure greed/satisfying the shareholders

I see the confusion, what I meant to say their keyboard is spying on them which includes their part of my conversation with them. Having an app broadcast the metadata of the conversations (whatsapp) + a keyboard spying on them = me getting profiled, somewhat.

Although Meta tries to go Apple's way and not share data (likewise for Google, iirc)

Will do, thanks!

Wdym? I was under the impression that the Google native/default keyboard on Android feeds some stuff to their ad-related dataset

For what search term for example?

Don't trust them either but that's sometimes a good sign. It's been used for illegal activities using a 3rd party client for a while in one country that I know of, which oddly enough makes me a little more comfortable. Or at least that country just couldn't get access to the data

IMO I'd rather have that and have them clearly say they're not using it for anything than potentially be profiled on WhatsApp where my friends keyboards are spying on their end in terms of content, i.e. be plugged into a social network with half the conversation exposed that way.

I say sane in comparison to that.

Granted these are my own concerns

I heard from their forums it's something they're working on, so hopefully this year

Answer: Signal

I wish people would use Signal, but Telegram is the closest thing to a sane privacy policy I've got. There are a few that luckily agreed to use Signal.

Waiting on interoperability, see how that's implemented in Signal+WhatsApp (hopefully with Telegram to so I can ditch that).

Would be great for an apocalypse

What's the reason for picking Searx over DDG? Do they offer better privacy? Query customizability?

Try that, that guide also references other packages/software that might be helpful.

You only get that EAC error once you join a server, so hopefully that's the issue. Let me know if it helps or if you have trouble with the guide steps, hopefully I'll be able to help

Wdym? Running it?

I just had to re-extract the easy anti cheat files using this guide.

I have to do it on everyupdate. I'm pretty sure I left Temp with write permissions because otherwise it'd sometimes get stuck on VC Redistribution installation.

I believe I'm running in the latest Proton version

I would argue that that's more obvious, the phone/gopro/cemera is up there and you know you are potentially being recorded. Also that's in the user's control (i.e. they'll need to intentionally record).

Here, given Meta's greed, we could have a potential subtle and not so obvious recording/surveillance. How would you tell if someone passing by is recording, wearing glasses is pretty common.

So the tldr is that I argue it's not the same because it's not obvious and/or frequent as it is with a camera/phone

But even if I don't, others will infringe on my privacy if they wear those glasses in my vicinity

Can you make it road legal though? Or is that pretty much reserved to manufacturers?

Or abandon the min parking reqs so developers can build something else there. But also solar panels where we actually need parking space

I'm arguing that they seem to waste resources instead of solidifying their existing product suite. Like features for Drive, basic ones like a desktop client for auto sync.

I know you can't make a baby in 1 month with 9 women, adding another product with only basic fetures seems wasteful to me given the state of the other ones.

So when there's products like Bitwarden I wouldn't pay for Unlimited if you're looking for the most bang for your buck.

It sounds to me like they're trying to go like Wechat did
