@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat OK, so these are the guys posting at the peertube service at tube.privacytools.io/ ? What's the ratio like? 90% bull?

@Obscurequokka I still haven't gotten outside @social.privacytools.io because I'm sure how to yet. And the federated timeline scares me. lol. I just know I'll figure it out sooner or later if I put in enough time. So I'm in the same boat as you. I want to follow more peeps.

@Wetrix There's no point in valuing blood if you fully and undoubtedly realize that that very same blood fails to be conscious/aware of how they're making you feel. Toxicity bows to no special type of relationship. Toxicity is objective and absolute with no grey area to justify debate. It all comes down to the feelings and treatment of the parties. If an equilibrium cannot be achieved, then a separation will often be best. Forceful bonds are horrible and can't last for long.

@Wetrix I would agree with your sentiment. First, I found that family could cut ties with other family, then experience it happen to me, then I experienced unfair and abusive treatment from family that would expect me to never let go of the "bond". I've ultimately come to the conclusion that blood matters only to those who put power into the concept. It means nothing to those who value self respect...

@Wetrix There is one person to whom I have this same feeling toward. I have felt pretty darn close to being able to let go after a few particular pushes. It just takes a bigger push with these special people. You will never be able to predict when this rare push will finally come. And they might subconsciously have the power to see when they have pushed enough to hold back from pushing too far, keeping you in. I wouldn't say its evil power, but it can be a sneaky type of manipulation. Β―\_ (ツ)_/Β―

@freddy That sounds cool. πŸ™‚ I hope so, because I'm just now getting into it myself. ^_^'

@Wetrix Do you have a different password for each and every website though? Are you remembering all that? Lol. That would be insane. I would just lease a section of your brain for my own password bank then. 😜

@Wetrix I wish I could. With an Android device. I'd rather use it over GMaps... Although, I still have a Google infested ROM 😩 It wouldn't make a difference on privacy. I would switch to Lineage OS but then the camera app would be screwed because, and I may sound like I know what I'm talking about here but I don't, the API for the camera is closed sourced and Gcam ports can only do so much. πŸ˜…πŸ€“

@TheDoctor I'm gonna try out the former. Thanks for the feedback!

@Wetrix These are password managers. And after using one, I can't live without one because I've registered like 150+ websites, each with a unique password generated by the manager itself. πŸ˜… Can you imagine going backwards? Dreadful. So since I found out about Privacy Tools, I saw it recommended BitWarden over LastPass here:
privacytools.io/software/passw
And I wondered like, could any differenc warrant the switch from what I'm using versus what is recommended.

However... Lol

LastPass is trending...

Is there actually a reason to switch from LastPass to BitWarden?

Man, crazy that it really is hard to avoid the use of Google services for navigation. πŸ˜…

I'm curious, what do you guys use for navigation? You have very little options when it comes to privacy right? This has to be the hardest area of privacy conscious decision making.

I have no way to tell if the DuckDuckGo browser for Android is using a Chromium code base. And I don't know how to read open source code to see if that would help enlighten me. πŸ˜… Wiki pages don't help here either. Does anyone else know how to know?

Does anyone use NetGuard on Android without any privacy concerns?
