I don’t think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.

Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.

That’s one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I’m not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.

not sure about apps, but dnscrypt-proxy has this option

I used this when I found out one of my coworkers was using my work laptop to play online games.

I have Linux Mint installed on my laptop, I just don’t trust M$ Windows with their AI crap.

Yes, I guess it’s better than you landing in the United States and a few days later, ICE flies you to El Savador.

I don’t, but yes this is very blatant

According to EFF in the article

Do not wipe your phone

You might think the most protective options are to completely wipe your phone before traveling, use a burner or travel without a phone. But the EFF’s Cope said that could actually raise suspicions.

“People are damned if they do and damned if they don’t,” Cope said. “If you cross the border with no data on your device, that itself can be seen as suspicious.”

Instead, if you want to seem cooperative but do have data or texts stored on your phone that you wouldn’t want to be accessed, Cope suggests deleting that information selectively rather than wiping your whole device.

That’s one of the reasons why we need to breaking up google. They use gapps and play store to control the android ecosystem.

If you need offline version of the sites you can save them with SingleFileZ

because today’s computer are so incredibly weak they can’t handle a few megabytes of text anymore.

I mean, sites today are more richer compared to earlier 2000s. We have css, more complex js scripts, embedded fonts, embedded videos etc. I’m sure you understand that it takes more than a few megabytes of RAM.

Possible, but it’s really hard to make a living. Just look at lemmy devs, they’re work totally on this project and rely on donations.

I’m not sure this can be done more easily without root access as many Android services and Gapps are intertwined.

You can try this solution via ADB, this is just an example

pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.app

This was on AP News the day before

Both the FBI and the Federal Communications Commission have warned that TikTok owner ByteDance could share user data — such as browsing history, location and biometric identifiers — with China’s authoritarian government. Biden in 2022 banned the use of TikTok by the federal government’s nearly 4 million employees on devices owned by its agencies, with limited exceptions for law enforcement, national security and security research purposes. The secretive and powerful Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has been reviewing the app for years.
