most security planning workshops start with this statement:

"it is unreasonable as well as impossible to try and protect against every threat out there. there is no magic app, website, service that will solve everything. security is a mindset, and taking the time to understand what you want to protect and why will serve you better than any application."

is there a specific order in which these are supposed to be read? I feel lost as AF, but dig the art and a lot of the different pieces as I come across them.

Brave Browser may be a bit problematic.

Wasn't matrix developed by Amdocs initially? which has ties to the Israeli intelligence infrastructure?

This combined with the collection of metadata would be a redflag for me.

AirVPN is the best. whole heartedly recommended this service.

Yeah - mostly was the hope of this post to see what others you put up.

I had looked at tuta but I'm looking to be able to move my digital workspace (email, calendar, storage, docs, etc) over.

I mean I couldn't find a lot of the other things but I do know the climate activist one is verifiable.

I found this article that goes more in depth with cooperation with other lawn enforcement agencies.

It seems murena has all in looking for with the exception of supporting custom domain names (unless you self host). The workspace aspect is important to me as I do a lot of collaborative work that is much easier with shared access to a spreadsheet.

curious as to your recommendations?

Totally fair point there.

I do want to move to a more secure OS for my mobile device, and I'm just in the babysteps of understanding the wide world of the Linux ecosystem.

I am genuinely curious about other sources - I tried to do digging on some but couldn't verify all the claims. No rush, get some rest and whenever you get a chance I'd love to read / learn more.

XD The HOAs are out to get folx

whatbox is awesome and their support team is top notch.

lots you can do with their system.

They look pretty good; I can't tell from their site of they offer custom domain support for email.

Totally, but it's the same company, no? Wouldn't the issues with the ownership of the browser also pertain to the search engine?

For being tired this outlined a lot of great points and good alternatives. Nubo has my eye and I'm going to look into starting the process with them.

And at least with android devices you have the choice to move to a different OS and opt into more FOSS alternatives

Well the company's board has a choice on who represents them and what their values are as a whole.

If the company thought that this person (CEO on this case) doesn't represent their values effectively they can remove them.

Tuta also doesn't easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. "we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro"
