i’m gonna read all of these in a really dramatic voice, you just wait

PROTECT YOUR ONLINE PRIVACY:
(this is a pinned post)
Install and use a VPN that isn’t based in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United kingdom, United States, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, or Spain (ExpressVPN and NordVPN are examples)(And only use a server in one of those countries if you have to to access something)
Install and use a tracker blocker (Ghostery, Disconnect, uBlock, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, etc)
Use Protonmail (at least sometimes, it’s kinda pointless if you contact people who use Gmail with it)
Use a secure note taking app
Use Firefox (only Chromium based browsers when needed)
Use DuckDuckGo
Use non-Android/iOS phones (if you can, I’m on an Android right now)
Make your social media visibility as strict as it can be on sites like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc
Research this stuff and so what is best for what your risks are (for example, if you’re not a reporter in a hostile environment or such, complete anonymity probably isn’t that important. It’s not attainable anyway, but you don’t have to max it out)
Fight for online privacy
MFs be like “I don’t want Google/Facebook/Apple/Amazon to be broken up because I/we depend on these services” and don’t see how that’s a problem
Bad thing about tumblr: you don’t know if it’s true or false.
people think android sucks because they don’t realize android is an OS and not a brand like Apple.. there are both good and bad androids but there’s only one way to get a phone with iOS and that’s by buying and iPhone. I can get many different androids for many different prices 🙂
I wish there was a way to tell companies that I dislike an ad so much that I will actively avoid buying anything from them because of it
So slightly unrelated but still relevant, generally when I come across an ad that just really fuckin annoys me for whatever reason I’ll go into Google and just type different variations of “I hate ‘x’ product” like 5 times until googles algorithm picks it up an I never see an ad for that product again. It’s amazing.
Use that cooperate spyware to your advantage
Though Tumblr’s lack of attention given to anything other than figure skating is fine when you consider the complete embarrassment Google’s Olympic Google Home ad is
I guess I’m switching to google then since they’re the only company that hasn’t gone off the deep end in regards to phones yet
Nevermind. Can phone companies learn from other phone company’s shortcomings or is that too much to ask. Nobody wants a phone without a headphone jack, they’re just going to use an adaptor. Stop it. Nobody wants this.
