Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and also an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

Pretty amazing! @ente!

I was already using Ente Auth and very happy with it, but now I have started to use the photo app as a replacement for the native photo app on iOS. It has a clean interface, is open source, and the servers are located in Europe.

For now, the free tier is fine for me, but I can see myself paying for an upgrade. End-to-end encryption is worth the money.

»Gmail Gets End-To-End Encryption From Google As 21'st Birthday Present:
[…] Google Claims To Have Invented An Entirely New Type Of Encryption For Gmail Users […]«

This is not an April joke and yes Google offers OpenPGP for Gmail Accounts. This is not difficult to set up but too many people are too lazy in my opinion.

Privacy Guides is formally taking a stand against dangerous and frightening technologies.

Security-focused developers and misguided "advocates" have long attempted to convince those involved in privacy and security that E2EE is an advanced security measure designed to protect your sensitive data, and Privacy Guides has stood by for far too long not setting the record straight.

My Privacy-Focused iOS Setup

Productivity Suite:

Moved from Apple suite to Proton Suite for secure email, calendar, drive, VPN, and password management. End-to-end encryption and privacy focus make it a solid alternative.

Social Media:

Mastodon and Pixelfed for decentralized social networking and photo sharing.
