i think it’s fingerprints…?

Like a pun on data fingerprinting. But that’s not exactly what this service protects against.

The ai company that sort of pivoted to search but doesn’t offer any tiers without ai?

They’re literally working with a manufacturer to make non-google phones. Tethered to google is a wild mischaracterization.

I didn’t mean that in a negative way. All I meant was that using a non-chromium browser to help move the needle is a privacy tradeoff. I keep both vandium and ironfox installed and use them at different times for different things.

Vandium is all about not standing out from the crowd. You use it to not make a statement and hide your activity within the majority of useragents. If you want to make a statement that’s great, but you should only do it when you’re ok being fingerprinted.

yep, it was already impossible to get people to use fdroid. Now there’s no way anyone except hardcore enthusists will even attempt to get away from the play store.

Coherent sentences have been a shorthand for “intelligent and thoughtful” for a very long time. Breaking that and forcing people to think about what they’re reading is going to be extremely hard.

Pangolin continues to deliver wildly useful features.

I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.

I moved my entire public facing set of services over to Pangolin a little over a month ago. It’s been pretty sweet. I really like the auth system and they just integrated custom oidc providers so I’ve got pocketID set up with it as well.
