Short to do list on how to actually achieve privacy;
use Linux;
use hardened Firefox;
use Steam;
use protonmail or something similar;
Easy, right? Desktop-wise, achieving privacy is quite easy tbf
Then you see the mobile hell-scape:
install grapheneOs (unless you are lucky, you won’t be able to use your banking application, and the process is not beginner friendly);
do not use apps that are a privacy nightmares;
do not use Google play or Google related services (you lose the YouTube commodity);
The last two points lead you to basically not use social media (Lemmy and a few other alternatives excluded, but they are far away from the mainstream). Then there is another problem: to keep contact with other people, you have to use privacy-nightmares apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
So yeah, privacy isn’t dead yet but it’s heading that way (unfortunately); which obviously doesn’t mean people shouldn’t do anything about it, it’s just sad
Yeah but knowing why something was made in that way would greatly help. The problem here is, the design is unreliable (just today we found an error in the design which changed an INSERT to a simple SELECT) so if we knew why certain things were made that way it would make our job much easier (in the end we have to ask if something weird was meant that way or it's a design error)
I think you misunderstood, I'm the one implementing the API and writing the queries - alongside a coworker that doesn't have BE experience. I'm not the one who made the DB though, neither is he, and the design is not very reliable
I mean, it’s common knowledge that we are slaves with extra steps controlled by a specie of giant, telepathic, calamari that use us for their own survival
Then dunno. Tbf I never had to be connected to the internet or to connect a remote account, but maybe things have changed since last time I installed W11
“I switched to Linux today, my life is completely different!”
