I started doing this again. I leave my phone at home and just go out with a bit of cash in my pocket. I bought an mp3 player so I can bring along some music.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How can I avoid proprietary software on school & company computers?
0·3 days agoI have run into this issue of needing Microslop for school. I’m allowed to use my own hardware if I install their spyware. So I have two setups:
Portable: Win10 on an old lenovo laptop that just runs their tracking software. I can access the sharepoint, outlook and teams with LibreWolf on that machine, if I must.
When at home I have a virtual machine that also runs Win10 for their spyware. I use LibreWolf on fedora for the sharepoint, outlook and teams.

Apple@lemmy.world•Show me your iOS/macOS/watchOS bugs (part 2)
0·6 days agoOP is one of the Apple employees that seem to care. Corporate has its procedures, and filing a P0 will require someone to make the decision if this is a welcome backdoor or if it’s going to get fixed. Insults might feel good to blow of steam but are rarely helping with progress.

0·6 days agoNotifications can expose message content due to iOS storing previews in sys logs. Privacy is a fundamental right, as Tim said many times. This should be a P0

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Should I go for GrapheneOS, e/os or LIneageOS on a new phone? (see description)
0·7 days agoI love Graphene, because I seriously care about privacy. Everything works well but I also wasn’t a fan of having to find Google hardware. Second hand worked and next year I will consider the Motorola that will run Graphene.
Since you insist on Meta and Google Apps, you seem less concerned with hard privacy, so a Fairphone with e/OS could be a great choice. e/OS is nice too, I tried it for a while but found some laps in it’s privacy settings and I did not want to leak any location info to google.
If you don’t like it, you can revert to stock android, no problem.

YSK that Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, is a fossil fuel derivative. It should also never be used as a lubricant with condoms, it can mess with the latex and make it break more easily.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Switzerland expensive for American travelers?
0·1 month agoEating out is expensive, I would recommend at least Fr.150 per person per day for food. That should cover 2-3 meals and a coffee, sweet treat, etc.
In Europe it’s normal that supermarket prices are significantly cheaper than restaurants. The people preparing our food deserve a living wage.
Sure there will be some fancy ski hut waiting for someone rich or drunk enough to shell out 100k for booze, but just because it exists doesn’t mean it’s the norm.
