  • It depends entirely on how you both communicate. I haven't said it to my sister either and didn't realise before reading your post. It's all fine as long as you have a good relationship.

  • I think this might be what you're looking for. I remember it got some attention when it was announced.

    I deleted my account over ten years ago so I haven't tried this myself though.

  • This year I've gotten about four that match what you describe. Before that I got maybe ten that were supposed to look like just normal people. Some of them often followed eachother.

    They have all been on mastodon.social, which is what I first noticed and found weird. Personally I'm on a small and niche server being run by a dude in his garage. I barely have any followers and don't post much. There's not many ways to just randomly discover me on Mastodon.

  • As long Google keep it proprietary, you have to assume it's not good for privacy. Google lies about privacy all of the time. It's barely been two months since the last time they were found guilty. This is how they operate. It's just a business expense.

  • Off topic but what's the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?

  • Lots of these apps let you export the entire vault as a file. I use this to import it on other devices. I currently have it on my phone (Aegis) and my pc (OTPClient) and is very satisfied with the experience.

    I also have encrypted backups on a USB flash drive, an external HDD and five separate cloud services. I trust this solution.

  • In practice, yes. IF IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY it would be extremely unlikely for an attacker to get in.

    For example with a proper implementation of TOTP it would require an attacker to guess the correct number between 0 and 999999 in less than half a minute. Most services make you wait a little bit (often less than humans notice) between attempts and don't allow infinite attempts, so an attacker would have to be unimaginably lucky.

    There are sadly lots of huge companies that DON'T IMPLEMENT 2FA PROPERLY. Sony Entertainment (account for PlayStation) for example. So a unique and long password is still important.

  • I really like 2FA as long as it's TOTP and I can use an offline app or program for it. It just works and is very easy and secure.

  • I actually guessed which car while clicking the link, before anything had loaded. Strange, but I assume that there are many folks that like it.

  • Jeg tror ikke det er nok av oss her, men... faen... BÅDE svenskene og danskene, men ikke oss?? Flaut.

    **Translation: ** I don't think there's enough of us here, but... fuck... BOTH the Swedes and Danes, but not us?? Embarrassing.

  • I haven't tried them but I recently read a (Norwegian) review of Belkin Soundform Isolate. They support it and are supposed to be surprisingly good.

  • As long as you don't mess around with the "Unsafe Features" in the settings it's very private.

  • DoidFS can use the camera to take photos and record video. It gets stored in the vault instead of your camera roll. This ensures that other apps never get access to the photo/video, even if they have "all-files access".

    Several other apps does some version of this. If you have tried to export a photo from Signal to your camera roll, you have probably seen this before.

    DroidFS does not ask for camera permission unless you try to use this feature. The app does not need the camera for anything else, so if you don't allow it to use the camera everything else still works.

  • It doesn't work on ARM, but Tails is based on Debian so it's probably going to run on ARM some day.

  • It's a nice feature for those that actively enable it and know that it's enabled, but not for the average user. Most people never change the default settings. Firefox breaking stuff by default would only decrease their market share even further. And this breaks so much stuff. Weird stuff. The average user wants a browser that "just works" and would simply just switch back to Chrome if their favourite website didn't work as expected after installing Firefox. Chrome can be used by people who don't even know what a browser is.
