But the thing is out of the big companies, basically none of them are in the business of selling the data they have. They are much better off if they don’t allow competitors to grow by keeping all the data to themselves.

Proton pass if general UX and speed are important to you. Bitwarden if amount of features is important to you

Time to crank up their openAI bill 😎😎

For 2 reasons:

• I want to sync my credentials that cannot be made unique and revocable (ie passwords). I can have a single passkey per device, I cannot have a password per device for a same account. I also have to memorize a password, and I have hundreds that I may need to access while I am away and only have my phone.
• I use one because currently I have not found a convenient way to save local passkeys on Android and my Linux PC.

I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me

I don’t like that passkeys are portable, this kind of defeats the entire purpose. The way they were sold to me is the following: it’s 2 factors in one. The first is the actual device where the key lives, and the second, the user verification, like a pin, face scan, fingerprint etc. If it’s synced across the cloud, there’s no longer the first factor being the unique key on the unique device.

Granted, passkeys even without the first factor are still magnitudes better in terms of convenience and security compared to passwords, but it just disappoints me a little that there are no good options to save passkeys on my local device only, with no cloud sync.

If anyone knows of a local-only passkey manager app for android, as well as the same as a firefox extension, I’d love to know about it!

Yes there m illegal things on social media, but they are not public group chats with hundreds of people in them sharing info on how to do x crime better. What you will mostly see on Instagram etc when it’s about illegal stuff are links to those telegram channels. And yes meta/everyone else should definitely do better at moderatibg their platforms.

Telegram isn’t in trouble because they are a ““private”” messenger because 1) they aren’t and 2) they basically asked for it. They are hosting pirates, drug dealers and scammers and they refuse government requests for the data they have about the user. That is the issue: not complying with data requests. For example, signal, a truly secure messenger, will comply with data requests and will send the authorities everything they have about a user, which is really not that much to begin with. This whole Telegram story is absolutely unrelated to chat control

All of the illegal stuff like that that I’ve seen around on social media always linked to telegram channels. Most of the time what you see on regular social media are bots advertising the telegram channels, where the real people are at

I simply think that until now (maybe they will start tomorrow), the PR and lawsuit risk of listening to people is too high, for the benefit they would get out of it. Much simpler metrics are enough for them to get a very good profile of the user. Voice data isn’t like in the test scenarios where the person will repeat 45x the word cat food, people talk about the weather and about gas prices which is pretty useless for creating an ad profile if you ask me. But the scary part is now with AI models and on device AI everything, local processing of the mic data into topics that then get sent to their servers is more concerning is not much more feasible.

And for the lawsuits I am not sure they could write it off as a bug everywhere other than the us and Canada because there are actually normal laws in most other countries

They are certainly very creepy but I doubt companies like Google or Meta even need this kind of data from a third party. If they truly wanted to have mic access, they could for a long time, and it would have been known. The reality is it is too expensive and risky to run this kind of spying, and I don’t think the benefit is worth the risk to them. To me this screams “SCAMMERS”.

For a team of 20 people matrix is way overkill imo

Thx, edited

Proton Pass or Bitwarden are both very good options. Here is my breakdown of their pros and cons:

Pros of Proton Pass over bitwarden

• Much better UI/UX (in terms of looks and ease to navigate)
• The app is feels much faster than Bitwarden’s, maybe its not objectively, but it feels lightyears ahead in terms of speed
• Possibility for separate email and username fields
• more seamless integration with simplelogin aliases than what Bitwarden has
• TOTP is available in the free version

Cons of proton pass compared with bitwarden:

• No “Identity” item type (vault item where you can store info about yourself like your SSN etc.)
• No payment card autofill
• Can only register the “generic” 6-digit type of TOTP (Steam guard TOTP didn’t work when I tried it)
• No custom fields that auto-fill on the web page
• less settings in general, for example, you can’t decide of the hashing algorithm of your account’s password, and you can’t tweak the hashing parameters
• more expensive
• less “Foss”: the server code is not published and there are no 3rd party servers like vaultwarden

If you want to be extra safe I guess the best way would be to use the web version of Instagram with ublock origin installed. If you can find a way to use Firefox containers on Android as well it could really restrict what they can access.

Yeah I guess torrents would be the closest thing to federated video, but seeing the download speed of most torrents that I find even ones with many seeds, it is often balls slow

Very unlikely to happen, it’s way too expensive or demanding to run at a significant scale and it would probably end up with a single monolithic instance

JMP supports SIP, so that could be worth looking into, because I don’t think call forwarding services exist for xmpp to sim, but sip to sim probably exists. You might also want to cross post this to the sopranica community on lemmy

!sopranica@lemmy.ml

Maybe your flip phone has support for an XMPP client, I don’t think there’s a single os without an xmpp client, but you may need to jailbreak it

You should not be using any kind of digital communication for criminal activities. OP, if your only goal is to prevent companies from scanning all of your personal life to show you tailored ads, then either is will be fine. I do prefer Proton though, as their products are more complete

Oh, interesting, thanks!
