Oddbean new post about login | logout Google is watching you even when you don't use Google. You have to aggressively block ads, javascript and fingerprinting and use Tor/VPN. Very hard to get away from Google's surveillance. https://media.tenor.com/prhXMCJiPGEAAAAC/camera-robot-eye.gif
Im working in it. Using linux on my laptop Using an “unplugged” phone that cant run goog location services. Using a VPN Using Brave browser as mich as humanly possible I rarely if ever use g search or yt. Rumble Fountain Nostr Bitcoin 🧡🍻👊🏻
Unplugged phone? You got an Eric Prince phone? I plan to get one but wanted to hear some reviews on it.
Yeah Its a good phone. A lot of software that requires google location services or has abusive spyware so this phone wont let upu install those. I was prepared to go dumb phone but I REALLY wanted a good camera so this was a great tradeoff. In addition to call/text, I just want: (Works great listed below) Camera (fantastic quality) Music/Podcast player (spotify / fountain) Bluetooth (perfect) Basic browsing (brave/duckduckgo) Calendar app (proton suite) Email (proton suite) Nostr (primal / amethyst) Cons: -Some software isn’t available (thats a tradeoff I’m okay with) -Navigation- Mapquest sucks but it works.
