That’s dope, glad it could help 🤟

I’m starting to edit idcaboutprivacy more and more often (and that’s not a good thing)

Don’t mind me, just adding it to idcaboutprivacy

Thanks. Built from scratch.

Gives me no pleasure to add it to idcaboutprivacy

Free and open source—feel free to contribute.

Yeah you right about that. That’s why one of the simplest and most suggested budgeting techniques is to carry a cash envelope. Seeing/feeling your money makes it harder to psychologically part with it.

uBlock Origin filter lists is what seems to work best. You get nothing but the raw URL.

Not at the moment. You’ll have to use ClearURLs or uBlock Origin filter lists if you don’t wanna have to right click.

For those of us who can’t code their own extensions: LibRedirect does this for other sites as well, not just YouTube.

Nope. I suppose in theory it could, but not necessarily—it’d be up to Apple/Google to make the color decisions regarding that.

The important thing here is that it’s not about the colors themselves, but about what the colors signify.

Apple chose blue to denote that the message you’re sending is to another Apple device. By default, this Apple-to-Apple message uses the iMessage protocol. If it uses iMessage, then that implies a certain security standard.

Apple also made the deliberate choice to denote non-iMessage texts with green. If it’s green, then it’s SMS/MMS, you lose iMessage encryption, and other features like reactions.

The colors are not gonna change by default—it’s up to them to coordinate what colors are used for what. Apple’s not gonna open up iMessage (at least not voluntarily, and we saw how far they’ll go with Beeper), so Google can’t do anything about that. Which is also why they’re pushing so hard to get Apple to adopt RCS.

If Apple does adopt RCS, maybe they’ll denote it with purple bubbles, who knows. Then you’d have iMessage as blue, RCS as purple, and SMS/MMS as green.

But again, this is all about what each color signifies in terms of privacy and security.

The thing is… The bubble colors do matter. But people aren’t caring about the colors for the right reasons.

The color matters because the color has to do with the security of that message.

Sending a message through the iMessage protocol is more secure than SMS/MMS.

People should care that their messages are secure and private (and they do care, they just don’t always realize it or know it yet). Unfortunately, the people behind the whole blue vs. green bubble culture war don’t seem to focus on this security aspect, which is actually what/why it matters.

As an Apple investor who would benefit from more iPhone sales, “Buy an iPhone” is not the right response/solution to this problem, despite what Tim Apple says.

Choose open source. Say no to walled gardens.

It also literally says to not input sensitive data…

This is one of the first things I flagged regarding LLMs, and later on they added the warning. But if people don’t care and are still gonna feed the machine everything regardless, then that’s a human problem.

Any benefit over just downloading the APK directly without managing it through Obtanium? I ask cause I’m guessing that for Mull, since there are no releases on its GitLab repo, it’ll just have to be downloaded directly.

I use Obtanium too, but I can’t figure out how to install apps that are hosted on GitLab.

What do you have to change in Obtanium?

Here’s Mull, for example: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix

lol I thought about that too

You really don’t need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:

• Your password manager’s extension would be convenient.
• LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
• Dark Reader to save your eyes.

About some other ones that are mentioned:

• ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
• Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.

Other:

• Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
• Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.

IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.
