That’s dope, glad it could help 🤟

I’m starting to edit idcaboutprivacy more and more often (and that’s not a good thing)

Don’t mind me, just adding it to idcaboutprivacy

Gives me no pleasure to add it to idcaboutprivacy

Free and open source—feel free to contribute.

WhatsApp was charging $1-$3 per year before Facebook’s acquisition. They had 600M+ users and a team of twelve people. It was beautiful while it lasted.

Hopefully we can carry out the original mission with Signal.

Added to idcaboutprivacy (which is open source). If there are any other similar links, feel free to add them or send them my way.

It’s widely regarded as the gold standard for secure communications.

I can’t emphasize how important it is for you to control your phone, especially notifications. Every notification is literally a mind hijacking attempt. Regardless of the type of notification, it’s something that disrupts our thinking and our flow.

Some of them are necessary—but most aren’t.

All the native apps will of course try to get as much permission from you as possible, including notifications. Don’t allow this permission freely.

Get really strict about which apps need to send you notifications, and when. Take it from a dude who used to give free reign to all apps for notifications.

Once I started thinking in a more digitally minimalistic way, it made a huge difference. Running GrapheneOS actually helped with this a lot. But you don’t need GOS to do this and feel the difference.

I got some notifications turned on, but most of em are silent. So they still get delivered, but they’re not time-sensitive. They’ll be there when I check my phone next. I don’t need em interrupting whatever I was doing or thinking.

TL;DR: Be strict about which notifications you allow, and when. It’ll do wonders for your thinking, productivity, and mental health.

Most of my friends know better than to send me TikTok links. But for the few who still do, I use this open source frontend called ProxiTok.

To get TikTok links to redirect automatically on click, use the LibRedirect extension.

It’s easy to scoff at this whole “You will own nothing, and you will be happy” phrase, but it’s really gone too far already.
