What’s the issue with steam? I thought the epic game store was the one actively spying on your device

On browsers, as you put Chromium then also put Firefox or deMozillaed Firefox e.g. WaterFox.

I'd put Brave back to the 2nd layer due to relying on Chromium and being heavily marketed while gathering data for its crypto scheme. I'd also put Firefox on the 2nd or 3rd layer.

Thank you so, so much for the transcription, appreciated!

Oh, am I that far gone?

Weird how Apple and iMessage are not in the same category. How do distrust apple’s privacy claims but trust iMessage?

I give workshops on privacy. I always tell them that if they get nothing else out of my presentation, its that they should use a password manager.

Honestly I think keepass should be beginner. That comes first before everything else.

Also I think Tor Browser should come before VPNs. Its free and easier to use than VPNs (for when you want to google something secret and don't want to be tracked. Most beginners are selective like that)

TAILS is missing :(

Pretty good!! I agree with 95%.

Loved the "As seen on TV" category!

I agree that Tuta is more secure than ProtonMail.

Some are blended like Tor, that should be in Activist if used in secured computer.

~~Was not aware of the existence of Coincarp (logo by GrapheneOS). Is a crypto price tracker used by Activists? I left crypto a couple of years ago but though Activists just don´t trade much and stick for the long haul and use Monero for purchases.~~

Any Chromium-based browser in anything but the top-most panel is a non-starter with their abandonment of Manifest v2. Manifest v3 seriously cripples any Chromium-based browser’s ability to be secure, as extensions like uBlock Origin are no longer compatible by design.

Google has it’s ad business to protect, after all.

Sadly, using small niche VPNs that might be more trusted makes you stand out more. It's pretty unusual to have a Mullvad user on your server

They don't rotate IPs as well so a lot of them are blacklisted... and don't offer port forwarding anymore

I wish they could change IPs reguarly and add port forwarding back :-( - I would happily pay for their service again

Because 5€ for their current service is overpriced

f-droid? the guardian project?

Impressive, an academic grade meme.

You, sir/madam, are an artist and a scholar

The problem with mullvad is a lot of its IPs are flagged as bots or denied around the web. Is there a good VPN that will still give access to most of the web?

Thanks a ton OP for linking to all the tools and services in description, this is an awesome resource!

This is a modern art masterpiece. I've starred at it for hours while installing Arch Linux on my brand new T480.

Where's GOG.com?

It's nice how firefox is just nowhere in there

On the 5th layer I'd add NitroKey or YubiKey to remind people that in addition to software you can have physical tokens too.

Because of Lemmy: proton, GrapheneOS, pi hole, open wrt, nextcloud

Throw away mobile phone and just use an air gapped machine. Your productivity will tank but then you’ll eventually add local databases of the shit you actually need on your air gapped machine and your productivity will triple.
