Companies hire hackers to help them harden their systems and prevent being hacked.
I don’t know much about Palantir but if they advertise themselves as a spy company then maybe they could help shed some light on common methods used in the industry to prevent just that.
Quarantined google play services on an alternate profile was a big sell for me. I don’t use anything google related in my day to day but occasionally I need traffic updates or alternative routes and I’m forced to use google maps. There’s a few other exceptions where I very rarely will need to use google play services.
In those situations, I can boot to an alternate profile for each app I need to use, and I know google is unable to harvest the majority of my data.
GrapheneOS has hardened security compared to lineageOS.

In addition to using text editors like vim or emacs and using a tiling window manager, what other programs do you use to reduce usage of the mouse? I recently discovered warpd which is similar to vimium’s hint mode but works globally.

The truth is he represents a political party that routinely preaches hate about people like himself, a party that votes to make it illegal to host drag shows, a party that thinks that gay people should have less rights than straight people.
He killed himself because he couldn’t tolerate being exposed.
If journalists don’t expose our politicians for when they are lying, cheating, stealing, or being corrupt, then the journalists aren’t doing their job.
I don’t get targeted ads anymore but it took a lot of work to get here and I don’t have a lot of the conveniences as other folks who use google play, oauth, etc.
Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren’t too happy about it.
Same… The principal engineer on this project also referred to me learning C# as my first exposure to a “real programming language”
After already being advanced in Python
And familiar with C, C++, JavaScript.
I think what he meant by “real” is it comes out of the box with proprietary windows components that aren’t going to work anywhere else and don’t have human readable code.
