There are many reasons for choosing #private alternatives to Big Tech. Tracking cookies, targeted ads, and closed source software are just the tip of the iceberg. 🧊
What #privacy concerns are keeping you up at night? 🤔

Here's how to keep your YouTube subscriptions private:
I did not realize that my #YouTube subscriptions were visible to the world. Turns out that keeping them private is opt-in for your #Google YouTube account...and worse, there's a #UX#darkpattern nudging you to not set them to #private. Typically, one turns on public features and the toggle in the on position would be for public setting. It's opposite here; you have to turn on private settings.
Here's how. Head to your YouTube privacy settings at the following #URL:
with Firefox 123 the tab counter/switcher is broken
Thanks for the heads up. I'll investigate this issue on my Librem 5 once LibreWolf flatpak updates to version 123.
This has happened before. The issue involves the way that I have hidden the Tab Bar. If I use display: none to hide it, then everything inside is also hidden, including the Tab Manager button. So I instead used visibility: hidden to hide the Tab Bar. Well an update caused this method to also hide the Tab Manager button. So I changed it to visibility: collapse, which worked until version 123 apparently. So I'm hoping that there may be yet another way to hide the Tab Bar without hiding the Tab Manager button, possibly going back to using visibility: hidden. We shall see.
If I can't fix this, the good news is that unhiding the Tab Bar should fix this issue. But the bad news would be having to unhide the Tab Bar.
If you're using my fenix branch and want to unhide the Tab Bar, then comment out line 60 of 13_true_mobile_mode.css as shown:
Getting Started: A Beginner's Guide for Improving #Privacy
*threat modeling not included.
Learning about online privacy and what tools you can use can be daunting. I wrote up this guide to serve as a launchpad into improving privacy for "newbies." Steps include:
I have software (goddinpotty) I use to publish a personal wiki-like site, and I’d be happy to help you use it for yours if you like (I write the content in Logseq which is similar to Obsidian). One thing it does is let you tag particular pages or chunks of a page as #Private so they don’t get published.
I guess it is pretty similar in functionality to Quartz, which might be easier for you to use, but let me know if interested.
#Privacy tip, for those wanting to purge big social media as much as you can. On #Android , you can set your #private#DNS to "extended.dns.mullvad.net" to add an DNS filter that blocks those domains. Of course it has #AdBlock, tracker, and malware blocking as well on top of it, so it's just safer in general.
#Mullvad 's DNS service is awesome, and you can basically set it up for any device! I have it set up on my #Linux workstations, and even my router as well.
The more I look into private and secure email the more I get slightly overwhelmed with information. There are many options. Before I take the plunge into completely moving my email and going through that hassle I thought it would see if anyone have experience with @protonmail, @fastmail#Skiff#Tunanota or any others.
Thanks in advance and please boost this toot so I can get many different opinions.
Using things like Vivaldi's tracker blocker will make it harder to for those with ill intentions to recognise you and build up a profile of your activities.
I live my life this way, nobody tracks me, as I always blend right in! 🤔
I'm dying soon. What's a good way to share my heart and mind with my family and the world? I want them to know that life was fucking incredible.
