Well, yes. Not ideal, i understand but surely reduces her exposure surface compared to stock os install from what i've read here and there.

Ah, i had missed this .... great example of OSS converging on efforts ...

Of course these are all options that i will slowly have to convince her are needed.

Lazyness? Its why Amazon is such a success. Too difficult to do online search. Amazon is convinient.

Well, the phone got runover by a car so will never know. But i willcheck current default settings.

Well, I'd like to know where you love but i live in EU and do exactly what you have indicated. So not all Europeans are f*** asses.

Yeah, i got stuck on this a few months ago when trying to set up Vaultwarden. I gave up for the time being. I need a proper guide that walks you through all the steps :-)

I tend to agree. Slight problem is when u r away from home for long periods

Dont u do this by setting the default address book in ur contacts app. I've set it to Radicale account. Works like a chatm. Deleted everything else.

How does it compare with K9-mail?

I use Radical with my family. It didnt implement calendar sharing when i i stalled but i think i read somewhere that they either have or will implement. Need to look into it

I didn't even know that the brand Commodore still existed.

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 ;-)

It used to be a breaze with linux, mozilla and AirVPN up till a few years ago. Now, it's almost impossible to navigate the web, use public authority websites without having to disable VPN and all the privacy focused plugins of Mozilla. It makes you realise how invasive the internet has become. Even for people in this group that are above average aware of privacy risks, its just so hard. The internet would have to be redesigned by privacy conscious people but that will never happen as big tech would see their interests at risk and would strongly oppose. How do you get people to switch to Simple X Chat when I struggle to get them to use Signal.

That is another problem i face when i have the app open on desktop and phone at the same time. Its a nightmare.

Well, this is what I thought too. Also, any other country under US influence would have handed him over to the US. See the saga that poor Assange has gone through. What worries me is that public opinion is rather silent to stories like those of Assange and Snowden. Whistle blowing should be seen as a right. If the organization I work for is ethically and morally misbehaving, I have the right to blow the whistle through the right internal channels to start with. If nobody listens, then you take it to the next level.

Folks, many banks have now implemented 2FA through their apps. That is the only reason why i have it installed. But i keep it on a deperate GrapheneOS profile that i turn on anff as i need it.

absolutely, none of that is going past my router.

I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn't allow sharing.

Looks very interesting. But as others noted, still too young, only two releases in 3 months and 1 person. Certainly to keep an eye out. The MIT licence worries me too. I always add the licence in the criteria ;-)
