run the thing on an isolated container/vm? not much else you can do, your face/audio can't be hidden anyway

is i2p torrent actually usable? last time i tried i2p itself was extremely slow and there was basically nothing to download, nobody seeding..

yeah, sometimes it vibrates when there's no notification.. which is extremely weird since i have internet access and notification blocked for about any app. Haven't looked much since it's not so often tho.

nice script sir, tysm

not sure about win/mac, but for android yes they do keep record of stuff like what apps are being launched and upload/sync to google account. it's not hidden though.. it is(was) literally available on google account history or something (was about 7 years ago)

regarding keystrokes there was a case of a famous chinese keyboard app doing dubious stuff. not sure if i can say it's on a os level but i'm pretty sure more than a few chinese phones ship with that. https://citizenlab.ca/2023/08/vulnerabilities-in-sogou-keyboard-encryption/

my primary machine's a dell precision t5810 and secondary one's t3600, both has old power hungry xeon cpus so they're pretty hot even on idle

yeah during the summer but also sometimes during the winter, my computer's heat makes my room hot enough

it's not perfect, it loses tons of data for some reason. there's also pretty much no way to properly archive documents in google docs (their history/metadata)

fuck google

Make sure to not have AMT or Computrace, just use linux/bsd instead of windows just to be sure.

maybe you could try doing gpu passthrough for native performance

ADW 1.3.3.9/1.3.4.0 still works fine, at least till android 12 :)

I'm using ADW Launcher EX 1.3.4.0 which is about a decade old now.

maybe install openwrt/ddwrt?

Fennec is just upstream firefox with a few patches applied during build afaik, so they probably forgot to remove what upstream added. Nothing to worry about imo.

It's pretty good, but I use SeaMonkey since it feels more lightweight

Kinda late comment, but maybe one of these?

Pantech Vega Iron. Or maybe iPhone 5.

i wonder if anyone tech savvy enough to use lemmy ever actually fell for that lol

same, i just say I don't do instagram and tell them my local whatsapp equivalent's id or phone number. I've tried using instagram a few times but it can't be used anonymously at all.
