It pisses me off how many people trust TechLore, it just spreads privacy misinformation and gives people false security. It is one of the most aggravating things in the privacy community to me.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat This is news to me. Can you elaborate?
security problems with that approach, giving people false hope of privacy and security on fitness watches, not mentioning that Asteroid OS is and has been out of active development for years and just telling people to go install it if they want maximum privacy, spreading FUD about Mozilla, making it seem like tweaking social media setting or fixing your Google my activity settings is a silver bullet to privacy, and more. They're problematic as most newcomers take everything they say as truth.

@TheDoctor Overselling VPNs and their capabilities, giving worthless false hope anonymity tests, incorrectly portraying the security of OSes like Calyx or /e/ when compared to Graphene or Linux compared to Windows or macOS, consistent recommendation of insecure browsers like Firefox for both mobile and desktop without even mentioning the security degradation when compared to Chromium, telling people that they should self host email for maximum privacy but then leaving out the immense privacy and
