I got an interview with AndroidAuthority!
https://www.androidauthority.com/ungoogled-refurbished-smartphones-986985/

NEW: It is widely known that major media outlets in #Russia — especially television — are controlled by the government. But who actually manages the #Kremlin’s grip? This is the story of Alexey Gromov, a former diplomat who has gained great influence and power as Vladimir #Putin’s media puppetmaster.

It's time to move away from the abusive tech giants that are turning what used to be a free space into a censored place with limited expression.

Start with these:

Here is a great website created by @ethical_net that lists all alternative and ethical web services.

We're glad to be listed in the "search engine" section!

While trying to convince us all that they take user #privacy seriously, Google is prohibiting ad blockers in Chrome. Trackers will be able to follow your activity across the Internet - and Google will be able to continue collecting its ad-based revenue.

to better explain my dislike of Purism. It's simple. It goes far beyond their ignorance when it comes to allowing hate speech on their social platform.

They also release half-cooked probducts that aren't ready for mass consumption. They raise funds for products that aren't realistic or that they don't even know how they will build yet.

They charge shipping and restocking on their own failed products when they don't work as sold.

Exciting stuff coming up.

Currently making a webserver with free services for everyone.

For now, you can access:

- https://paste.prvcy.one : Similar to Pastebin, but fully encrypted.
- https://invidious.prvcy.one : A YouTube front-end, see all the videos without all the tracking.
- https://search.prvcy.one : Metasearch engine. Search online without your every move getting tracked.

We'll continue adding more services, and a nicer homepage that lists all of them for easy access.

What would be the best phone for privacy, considering that I must use some android apps, and have technology knowledge of a bare minimum making me unable to install a custom Rom?

Отличный материл о том, что "нация", понятие вымирающее и совершенно необъективное.

Разбираемся, почему не существует рас, национальность — это концепт, а не природная данность, как вскоре изменится политгеография планеты и почему вашим потомкам не пригодится автозагар.
Будут ли в будущем существовать нации?
Вообразите встречу: восьмидесятилетняя бабушка, ни разу не покидавшая родное село под Сызранью, лоб в лоб сталкивается с высоким улыбчивым темнокожим из Нигерии с атлетическим вытянутым торсом, жесткими курчавыми волосами и пламенной любовью к игре на бонго. Они по-разному друг друга воспримут и поприветствуют, по-разному начнут вести диалог. Чем бы ни закончилась странная встреча, ясно одно: и физически, и поведенчески у наших героев масса отличий, первые из которых мы обычно относим к «расовым», а вторые — к вопросам национальной идентичности. https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-185c-f6a1-ce6e-793269123940

A few months ago, Microsoft decided to collaborate with Google and drop its web engine in favor of Google's.

Earlier this week, Google blocked all ad blockers, and now Microsoft has de-listed UBlock Origin (a powerful ad-blocker). Without real choice, monopolies will dictate what you see and do on the Internet.

Real choice comes with Free/Open Source Software.

Today 3 years ago 12 people founded Nextcloud as an 100% Open Source, sustainable, community oriented and privacy aware cloud project and company. I‘m so happy and proud to see what the Nextcloud community achieved since then.
