So what you're saying is, that there is now an easy way to delete your MS account?

I'll be the one to stay on topic instead of joining the omgchromebad crowd.

My question/concern would be, why would a browser need to connect to an outside source in order to Forget your browsing? What would it need to reference?

Meanwhile, in rural areas, dialup is still a thing.

I'd be much happier if they'd finish building Drive to have auto-upload like every. other. cloud. service.

We keep hearing "small team" so why do they keep adding half-done products and services?

You can turn it off all you want, it won't stop the scanning and collection.

Like turning off Google Location history, its just hidden from your view.

"...locally on device without connecting to the internet"

How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?

If it notifies the end user, what good does that do? My phone is at my ear, I don't stop a conversation when another app sends a notification while I'm on a call.

This will 100% report things in the background to Google.

The only problem is there could be 20 of these communities across Lemmy. Which one would be the "official" one?

You'd have to invite the Proton social team to participate first, and hope they find value here.

Edit: SL has a mastodon account, I think Proton does as well even though its not listed.

Man, everyone is hopping on the Trash Signal Bandwagon, even though TG is less secure, and nobody (the 99%) uses Threema.

Looks much cleaner, love the magnifying glass instead of the three lines.

Noticed that the "Saved" tab also says "Search" though...

Dropping GMail and FB Messenger. Switched to Protonmail and Signal/TG. To hell with Big Tech.

I remember years ago when they said the value of our lives would be determined by a panel of people.

Now its by a machine.

My favorite was getting locked out of a multi-year account that had paid GPlay apps that required an active account to run. The app purchases are tied to the account so they effectively stole those subscription fees.

I still have to maintain a G account for that one app. (Radarscope)

Funds allocated throughout the years have NEVER actually gone to providing/increasing broadband in rural areas.

You may have to remove the play version before installing the F-Droid version.

In other news, 40 out of 11,000 people have medical issues that most Americans already have.

Ads on Reddit were one of the reasons that third party apps were so popular... They didn't show them.

The whole point is to get away from Reddit, not just make several smaller copies. No thanks. I've donated already, and I'll donate again (to Jerboa, Lemmy devs, and instances if they prove their worthiness.
