How can I avoid proprietary software on school & company computers?
2 months ago by Lenins cat to c/privacy
School computers are riddled with spyware & proprietary software, the fact that they use windows is bad enough, but then you are forced to use edge or chrome and other proprietary software and often you are blocked from installing open source alternatives like librewolf or duck duck go may be blocked.
What I am asking is, how can we get around this, do i just need to bring my own laptop using FOSS privacy respecting software. or is there another way around this. Thanks for the help.

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

I'm dead scared of even thinking of using my corporate phone or laptop for personal use. I think i've never done a personal search or sent a personal email or even made a personal call using company devices. I kown they are logging every single thing i do because they've even told us in our annual cybersecurity training. Just run two seperate and parallel lives ;-)
