you really shouldn't be recommending things that adds attack vectors.

that doesn't help with sim removal. sim swaps are stuff are a thing and honestly more of a concern than data exfiltration.

... what do you want them to say? please remove your tinfoil hat lmao

you can do this with proton servers as well. they offer openvpn and wireguard. iirc, the "non-free services" is because the "Alternate routing" feature in proton apps routes over Google servers. if you disable this option it goes directly to their servers.

if they wanted to employ full browser fingerprinting they could

why don't you just install gnome...?

it's just a desktop environment. install it on whatever distro you're using.

good. this is the only reason I've recommended people avoid fdroid. would be useful to fix that

however much I love NixOS, I would argue that in it's current form (steep learning curve and horrendous documentation), the better option is using Nix package manager on a proven distro like Arch (or Debian but I've had some issues there). you get the benefits of nixpkgs while also having other pacman repos if you must.

any form of security in the display server would be nice. X is incredibly insecure with no trivial means of locking it down.

my existence is not, nor should be, a political issue. besides, technology doesn't exist in a vacuum. why do you think I'm on Lemmy instead of Reddit? politics. same with masto and Twitter.

and asking to be treated with respect in order to avoid mental issues is not selfish, you can think about more than yourself for once.

you are generalizing a wide variety of people but okay my guy. go outside for once.
