Peace be with you. You are absolutely right. In my early days of exploring “privacy,” I signed up for Reddit because I thought it was independent, but I was truly wrong. Google and Reddit actually have a deal that lets Google train its AI on user posts. It’s wild that Reddit would allow that. I deleted my account immediately. But, im really happy to find a plattform like lemmy.

♥️☺️That’s really nice to hear. I feel very welcome.

Thanks for explaining! Honestly, I’m not familiar with political labels like ‘left’ or ‘liberal’. I actually had to look them up before replying 😅. So I’m not sure where I fit in.

For me, data privacy is just about being practical and ethical. I hate it when big corps like Google use my data for things I can’t control, like military projects. It makes me angry, when they turn a tiny mosquito into a weapon. I see that happening with AI too. I’m against that.

I don’t know if that makes me ‘left’ or 'liberal’😅. My goal on forums like Lemmy is simply to find like-minded people, who share this ethical approach and to make friends there😊. Thats it.

I’m glad I could give you hope for the future. But that is based on reciprocity as well. I am new to Lemmy and really didn’t expect to be welcomed so warmly☺️. Your comments and the appreciation have truly made me happy. Thank you for that🌹.Peace be upon you all.

♥️♥️♥️

Wow… That is touching. My eyes are filling with tears right now. Thank you 🌹🌹.

I can understand how you feel. Therefore, your comment moved me deeply. I am truly glad to find people on Lemmy who think exactly like I do. That means a lot to me. Thanks again. And as the saying goes, hope is the last thing to die ☺️☺️☺️.

Thank you for being great. Ireland appreciates you.

☺️ That’s so sweet. Thank you very much. That really means a lot to me 🌹

😂 You deserve respect for that! Give me a few weeks on Lemmy and I’ll hopefully be a full member of the negativity club by then! 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Ahh, okay. Jetzt habe ich es verstanden. Ich danke dir. Ich nehme die korrektur sofort vor, danke🌹🌹

Ah, got it. Thanks for sharing that with me. Honestly, I’ve mostly been looking at Fairphone because I felt it was better than the alternatives. Plus, there was something nostalgic about being able to pop the battery out from the back, just like old phones. At the end of the day, what really matters to me is a de-Googled system like Murena. But yeah, having a nice-looking phone wouldn’t hurt either. Thanks again!

I swear to God, I thought the same thing at first. “This is actually an insult to all addicts” - But I couldn’t think of another way to phrase it, because let’s be honest, Google is addicted to metadata, so it fits. And youre welcome. I’m always open to advice. Thanks again! 🌹

Danke für dein Kommentar, und dass du auf deutsch schreibst, ist sehr nett. Also ich kenne mich damit gar nicht aus, bin ja noch neu hier. Und ich weiß nicht, ob ich dich richtig verstanden habe😅. Also, ein Beispiel - dass ist mein Link, zu NO GOOGLE TRACK: https://aurora-shine.codeberg.page/no-google-track/ Ich habe es in der Kommentar funktionen , mit den Klammern eingefügt <-- Mit den hier. Deshalb, bin ich mir jetzt nicht sicher, was ich falsch gemacht habe. Ich sehe in deinem Originalcode das du in dieser rechteckigen klammern [] “Hier” geschrieben hast. Hat das was damit zu tun?

Tut mir echt leid, wenn ich so nerve , aber ich will auf nummer sicher gehen.

Hi, sorry my english sucks. I dont undestand your comment. What did you mean with “reddit?” This is my link to my Website in Codeberg.

Oh, Im sorry that u are disappointed with fairphone 🙁But thanks for the side note. I’ll keep that in mind. Since I know absolutely nothing about de-googled systems and phones like this, I unfortunately have to experiment a bit myself. But could you please tell me exactly what you were disappointed about regarding Fairphone

Ah, that makes sense. No worries at all. I don’t take it the wrong way. You are right. In my anger towards Google, I simply didn’t think about that. That’s why I changed the word ‘Junkies’ to ‘Süchtige’ (Addicts). Thanke you.

Thank you for your comment. I am still new here and inexperienced, so your feedback made me happy and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I appreciate you sharing yours with me.😊

I hope the automatic browser translation didn’t confuse you or misrepresent anything. My English isn’t great, so I relied on translation tools hoping you would understand my point.😅

What I was trying to say is basically this: We ‘ordinary people’ possess one of the most powerful weapons we have: boycott. And unlike a gun or other physical weapons, we don’t need to ‘buy’ this weapon. That was the core of my message. Thanks again.

Hi. Thanks for the comment! The confusion likely comes from the automatic translation of my German page. Sorry.

When I wrote ‘We distort this graphic,’ I didn’t mean that I manually change it. I meant that the browser setting privacy.resistFingerprinting automatically spoofs the Canvas data for you.

So, to answer your question about ‘Item 2’: It refers to enabling privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox’s about:config.

Once this is active, the browser automatically returns a generic, identical Canvas image to every website, preventing them from creating a unique fingerprint based on your GPU. It’s a built-in feature, not a manual process.

Hope that clears it up.

Please let me know if anything is still unclear or if I made any mistakes. My English isn’t great, so I’m using a translator, and I want to make sure I’m communicating correctly!

Thank you so much for explaining this in such detail! I’m still quite new to this ‘privacy world’. If there are any mistakes on my site, I’d really appreciate feedback. And I’m trying my best to understand everything, even though my English isn’t great yet 😅😅

Hey there. To be honest, I’m not really familiar with Mullvad myself. But if you’re looking for a good VPN with solid privacy protection, I can recommend Proton VPN.

One small catch: you do need to sign up. But, registration is free and you don’t even need to provide a phone number. Plus, they are based in Switzerland, which offers strong data protection laws outside of the 5/9/14 Eyes alliances.

I use the whole Proton ecosystem, including their email service. Even with the free version, I’m satisfied. In combination with LibreWolf, this provides strong protection. Maybe you could give it a try.
