Cause fuck DRM. And sometimes because updates and game version on steam are different (e.g. skyrim version on steam support more mods than gog version)

Roman Dmitrievič Protasevič è stato arrestato dalla dittatura bielorussa dopo che il suo volo civile Europeo è stato dirottato e costretto ad atterrare da caccia militari bielorussi. Per non dimenticare il suo nome e quanto accaduto.
I really don't understand all those posts: I use nginx, apparmor, partially even modsecurity, I use collabora office official debian package, face recognition, email, update regularly (waiting for major upgrades for every app I use to be updated), etc. and literally never had a problem in the last 5 years except for my own experiment. True, only 5 people use my instance, but Nextcloud is rock solid for me
The name "lineage" is because it's a "descendant" of cyanogenmod, not because it's intended for older phones
Ublock is awesome, but it can't block first party from analyze, sell and use your data for anything out of your control. Use a fake account, a VPN and/or tor browser to isolate your identities. Stopping ads isn't enough to stop exploitation of your data
Lol, this is great
Phones in India can be bought for near 50$, and that provide everything a common citizen (and I mean mandatory government app and messaging) need. And 50$ still isn't cheap for most of the population. It's a totally different economy than usa
I don't understand the downvotes. I do not concur with the end for a lot of reasons, but this is a legitimate answer to the comment before
Bluetooth give a lot more information about your surrounding (what device your phone detect or connect, for how much time, distance from objects, etc.), not only from your phone alone, but from other people phones who have bluetooth on and e.g. never disable any tracking from google services too. And the Mac address for bluetooth never change, so any device (and tracking company) will know you is forever you. Bluetooth is a privacy nightmare, and this is totally a dark pattern. People not knowing what they're doing is of course a thing, but it seems just a usual bad practice by google, who like to manipulate especially not tech-savvy people
Telegram is located in Dubai, where did you read about Germany?
I thank you for your effort in this post, and I appreciate anyone who try to give real and complete answer to this kind of question, but I'd like to point out that madaidan "guides" aren't reliable, and shouldn't be linked as useful source of information, since he usually just spread FUD. Nothing he even wrote is actually useful to real users and common people, and even if I understand he know what he's talking about this doesn't mean his interpretation is correct. Security isn't absolute, and safety from any ideal danger that at this time no one even know how to exploit shouldn't be the ultimate goal for everyone. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I made myself clear
You're right, I'm dumb. Nextcloud has a e2e plugin, but you have to lose a lot of functionality, and I still think it isn't worth it if you host your own instance
DivestOS developer (yep, just one guy) is awesome. Give it a try when you have time
Mmm... I still think you mean server side: if someone seize your server shouldn't be able to read your file. If someone have physical access to your server while it is still turn on and not rebooted, it will have access to your files even with e2e turned on. E2e encrypt data while it is transfered from client to server (in case of nextcloud)
If physical security concern you, you should encrypt your disk, but e2e isn't really useful if you host your instance and use a VPN to connect (it's not necessary even if you trust the 3rd party that host your data, actually)
Try nextcloud
Battery shape (and connector) will sadly still be a thing for a long time, and usually it's for engineering reasons, so I don't really think it will be possible to standardize it
