The government isn’t the only threat e2ee protects against. When a non-e2ee service is hacked, the data is free for the taking, if the service is e2ee the data is only available from that moment forward. I’m not going to speak for which provider you should use, but you should reconsider needing e2ee.

Internet Explorer is still used by the Windows OS quite frequently. So depending on your definition of “supported” it still kind of is. Plus the internet hasn’t changed all that much, so most websites will work with any web browser regardless of age.
Edge… Opera… Internet explorer…

Privacy@programming.dev•CalyxOS progress report - our test build with Android 16 is here
1·1 month agoIn the event they abandon again, they’re leaving even more users vulnerable. The only thing CalyxOS has over AOSP is the removal of the Google Play Store… in exchange for microG, which runs with elevated permissions as well. Ignoring that, as I said in my comment above the one you’re replying to, a third of the supported devices are GrapheneOS compatible. The other two thirds are covered by LineageOS, which imo is just as secure as CalyxOS (probably even more secure than Calyx given they abandoned their community for about 10 months).

Opensource@programming.dev•We should push other phone OEM's such as Fairphone and Samsung to work with PostmarketOS, GrapheneOS, and Ubuntu Touch
10·1 month agoIt’s weird to group two Linux OSs with an Android OS anyway. One is focused on security, while the others are focused on introducing another type of mobile OS into the market.

3·1 month agoI’m gonna sound like a shill, but your claim that “Calyx will literally save lives from ICE” is crazy.
After abandoning their users by pausing all updates, and given that a third of their supported devices are Google Pixels, any one with a Google Pixel is significantly better off on GrapheneOS.
ICE has shown their hand in what they’re willing to waste tax payer money on, so one must assume they have access to Graykey / Cellebrite, and Calyx does very little to prevent physical attacks. Even on the digital side, Calyx does nothing to increase app security and the device sandbox, and given ICE’s partnership with Paragon Solutions, it’s only a matter of time before malware comes into play.
Calyx is better than base AOSP (barely imo), but if you have a Pixel, there is a much better option that might actually save your life if it came to it.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•On a typical Linux distro, what information do WiFi access points get when you search for and use another AP?
5·2 months agoOn iOS and most androids, your Mac address is only scrambled per network. So when you connect to the same network again, your device will use the same Mac address. This generally isn’t an issue if you’re using a private wifi network, or any network where the password isn’t public, but for public wifi it makes it much easier to identify you.

Hi, yes, I am real man. Want to go skateboards?
Maybe a hot take, but M$ is, imo, nowhere near as bad as Google or, god forbid, Meta.
Might I ask what’s worse than Google? And then what’s worse than that?
That makes sense, I just thought it was interesting that the pay gap was for transgender women. I wonder if the same applies to both non passing trans women and passing trans women?
To be clear, and sorry if this is a dumb question, when you and the study say “trans(gender) women” does it mean MTF (born male, transitioned to female), or FTM (born female, transitioned to male)?
It’s my understanding that the gender after transgender ____ (e.g. transgender women) referred to their current gender.
Ok, I see you are in fact not a bot. My mistake. In future I’ll avoid jumping to such sudden conclusions. I hope you enjoy your stay on Lemmy!
As for the AI image… Yeah, you should probably avoid those here. Some communities are more welcoming than others, but generally AI is quite disliked in the privacy community. It also makes you look very bot-like when you use one as your first ever post.
If Chromium is the best browser for android, why are you calling IronFox “the privacy king”?
I’d argue chromium based browsers are significantly better than gecko simply for security. Obviously Chrome is bad, but Vanadium and other such browsers are significantly better than any firefox remixes.
As for my claim that you’re a bot, see my earlier reply, and you’re brand new.
I dunno, maybe you’re a person, but the way your post is written, and the theme of the screenshot, screams AI.
