Custom ROMs are obviously the best choice but we’re talking specifically about what advice to give to a non-technical user who isn’t going to unlock their bootloader and flash a custom ROM, nor are they going to be able to use a linux phone or some other alternative that requires some technical know-how.
What’s mandos? I don’t find anything useful when searching for it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but to me it’s a no-brainer to choose between the company that sells hardware and the company that sells users to advertisers.
A priori, the Apple Mail app is not sending data about your emails back to Apple. Your downloaded emails are just stored on your phone and not on Apple servers. There are some things to be aware of though:
If you have “Protect Mail Activity” enabled, then any remote content loaded from your emails (eg. images) are fetched through Apple servers. This is to protect your IP address from those remote servers. Apple claims that they do not learn anything about the remote content or your interaction with the email since the content is loaded through two proxy servers which hide the source and destination from any one server. If you still don’t trust Apple to load the remote content in your emails for you then you should disable this feature, and your phone will load the images in your emails directly (revealing your IP to the sender of the email). You can disable loading of remote content completely in the same menu by turning on the “Block All Remote Content” option, and now you won’t load any images linked from emails at all.
Next, if you have iCloud backup enabled then your phone backup will be stored in iCloud, and this will contain all of the email data stored on your phone. By default iCloud backups are not end-to-end encrypted, so if the Apple cloud was breached, or if your account is breached, then those backups could reveal all data stored on your phone. To mitigate this, you should enable Advanced Data protection, which then enables end-to-end encryption for the other pieces of data stored in iCloud, including your backups.
Edit: please reply instead of downvoting. If there is something wrong or misleading in this comment then it benefits everyone to know what that is.
It depends how technical a user is, whether it’s a realistic goal to move away completely from both Apple and Android smartphones. And if choosing between those two, I would choose Apple as the lesser evil.
I don’t know if it’s still relevant, but I used to use Synergy to do this.
I had no idea there are people who pronounce Godot as “go-dot.” I will never be able to unhear this.
I’ve always said “god-oh” with a silent ‘t’ like in “Brigitte Bardot”.

Why are you posting this low effort slop?
Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.
Community consolidation is antithetical to how the fediverse works. If you want to increase the number of users in your community then work on increasing the number and quality of posts, and mention the community in related spaces. Please don’t attempt hostile takeovers of communities on other instances just because they have the same name.
There can’t be much brain there to rot if it’s still using Microsoft products.
Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?
No, I said, “I like the slacks you’re wearing.” They would go nicely with a red hat.
What is the Wii U running?
I think the way to make it work is to have each instance represent a “world” and you only have stats and equipment within a world. Then when you cross over to another instance you are now subject to that instance’s ruleset.
It wouldn’t be so much a federated MMO but more like a large variety of games connected geographically (in the virtual sense).
I’m trying to figure out what that looks like. So you mean they’re just peer to peer? I’d be interested to see one of those, sounds cool.
Thanks, I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
Querying for all intervals
(x’, y’)
that overlap with an interval(x, y)
is a two dimensional range query that selects the upper left quadrant of the x-y plane that satisfiesx < y’ && x’ < y
