As you can see, they hired an outside legal firm to declare that they did nothing wrong in enabling said sexual harassment because there wasn’t a paper trail, despite them admitting that the victim was told to talk it out with the abuser.

You are assuming intent, and ignoring the false statements made. What I see is them hiring a third party to do an investigation, exactly what the public called for. Would you rather the former employee pay for it?

They followed up by threatening the victim with a lawsuit for continuing to speak out.

There was no threat, only a statement of fact that the evidence was strong enough for a defamation case, and that they did not wish do go down that path.

was met with the vitriolic, violent hatred you’d expect from a woman pointing out the misogyny of the internet’s favorite tech boy.

Yeah, I’m just gonna go ahead and say you can’t see past your own biases on this one.

My knowledge here isn’t perfect, but I learned a lot from this discussion on the Privacy Guides forum.

You might find this chart to be helpful as well.

DivestOS is the only privacy focused OS in that list.

LineageOS’ goal is extend software support for Android phones, and /e/OS is designed for the Fair Phone. Privacy isn’t the goal, and LineageOS still phones home to Google for most things.

I’d personally go the route of getting a new phone number and a new email address.

If she needs for people to be able to reach her at her current number, I’d restrict it to people in her contacts

Even if you manage to pull the information from people search websites, her info is still out there. I’d also avoid giving out the new phone and email as much as possible.

Is this accurate? Last I recall, the F-droid version was free of any of Google’s tracking?

Podverse is a solid choice. It’s also cross-platform if that matters to you. Antenna-pod is another good choice.

Beyond that, the money is still going to Google, Yandex, Brave, Bing etc via API payments. If they actually created their own search engine that was any good I’d be more inclined to pay for access.

Edit: They do claim to have their own small indexes (Teclis and TinyGem) that they sell API access to, but I’m doubtful it adds significant value.

Another independent search company with its own index is great. Repackaging Bing and Google isn’t good enough. I’d be cautious with their privacy claims though.

I’m stuck on Joplin personally, but have you taken a look at Standard Notes? I think it checks all your boxes.

Here are some options I use in my rotation.

Brave Search (skip the browser)

Mojeek

Qwant (French)

Yandex (Russian)

Mullvad Leta (Mullvad VPN subscription required)

MetaGer (German meta search)

Startpage (Private Google results)

DuckDuckGo (Private Bing results)

SearXNG and similar self hosted options are awesome, but I’ve found them unreliable.

Be skeptical of Kagi… It’s promoted pretty heavily around here for something that’s not FOSS.

Not sure why you got downvoted like crazy, but Brave legitimately has a great search engine. It also uses its own crawlers unlike DDG, Startpage or Kagi who are really just meta search engines piggybacking off other companies’ results.

You do know what community you’re posting in right?

This type of snooping covers anything you play on the screen including but not limited to Blu-Rays, Plex, Home Movies, Live TV, YouTube, and Netflix. It’s incredibly invasive and harmful to the end user, especially when the raw data is inevitably leaked to the world at large.

Would an encrypted backup using something like Crytomator or Rsync fit your needs? It would allow you to use the cheaper cloud services without letting them see the content of your files.

Proton Drive is another good option.

@rysiek Fair enough! Not official in the sense that the Bitwarden team doesn’t support it I suppose.

It definitely has some community backing though.

@rysiek

I believe Vaultwarden works with SQLite and Postgres if that were a concern.

https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Using-the-PostgreSQL-Backend

Bitwarden has a great free tier, it’s open source, and cross platform. I highly recommend it!

If you want something that’s not cloud focused, check out KeepassXC too!

I’d be more likely to believe that if spoofing your user agent didn’t immediately fix the issue.
