Weren’t they just accused of grabbing their own ad data?

Any way to make iOS more private? (piefed.social)

submitted 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) by hellerphant@piefed.social to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Android users have a tonne of options, but is there anything an iOS user can do to make their phones more private. It was not my choice to get an iPhone but it’s what was provided to me so I’m rolling with it.

Need a solid daily driver browser that’s good for most things in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I use 1Password so I’m guessing Librewolf handles Firefox extensions? Should be fine there.

I don’t mind logging in every time actually, but yeah I can take a look at those settings.

I will try it out this coming week and let you know. Appreciate the info!

Thanks for the links. I’ve heard of Librewolf but never tried it. Will give it a spin.

Thanks for the info. I’ve seen Librewolf recommended a lot but also found a lot of threads of “normies” complaining it was a pain to use daily. I’ll give it a spin!

I was quite fond of Arc so the layout would work for me. How does the privacy compare to say Librewolf which is what others are recommending?

I’ll check out their website. Would be awesome if they had a mobile browser. I’m not sure what to do there. I’m on iOS.

I am trying to get better with my privacy, and I specifically want to try and avoid big US tech where possible. I know they there are many people saying you should use multiple browsers for better privacy and all that stuff, but I’m also being realistic with myself - I just want a solid browser experience that has decent privacy and i can live with that for the most part. Not opposed to maybe 2 browsers, but I’d like one daily driver, especially for work.

I do a lot of social media management and am using the Steam backend daily as I work for a game studio. I need to use YouTube and Bluesky and all those things, so it needs to handle media.

I’m running Vivaldi at the moment after jumping off Chrome. I don’t need to use Chromium. I was trialing Orion on my Mac but I use a Linux machine at home, a windows PC sometimes at work, having something across all would be nice and once again I know that is not 100% privacy, but it’s better than the average user.

Advice would be super appreciate.

First time back home in 7 years. Where to get coffee and decent eats (piefed.social)

I left Melbourne 7 years ago to live in Japan. I’m heading back next month with some co-workers to exhibit at The Game Expo. They want good food, good coffee, good beers. I don’t know anything that is open anymore. My old go to spot was Pope Joan and it’s long gone. I don’t even know if Faraday’s Cage is still around, or good.

Please help me be a good host and give me some recommendations. I also plan to go to Very Good Falafel if it’s still there!

Oh, and how much am I looking at for a latte these days? My family say the price of everything has gone up so I’m scared.

Day 1 of posting an indie game I found that I think it is cool - LOVE ETERNAL (store.steampowered.com)

I am an indie dev and former game journo, and I run a newsletter where I share recommendations of cool indies coming out every week. I’m not going to link to it here but I thought I could drop an interesting find on here.

LOVE ETERNAL is a brutal platformer with a psychological horror story behind it. A soft sequel to an insane platformer called LOVE that took 7 years for someone to actually beat it or something like that. This has some of the edges sanded down, and does some really unexpected things. Worth checking out if you love hard platformers.
