"Android treats third-party launchers poorly, but this survey could help"

"TL;DR

• Developers behind some big-name launchers have come together to create a survey for users.
• This comes after years of third-party launchers being treated like second-class citizens on Android.
• The survey’s findings will be presented at a Google event in October."

Threads will collect data about Fediverse users without consent (which data is unclear)

"Threads integrates with third party services (“Third Party Services”) via an interoperable protocol, and is part of a network sometimes called the Fediverse. In the Fediverse, Threads users can share content with, view and interact with content from, follow, and be followed by people outside of Threads who use such Third Party Services (“Third Party Users”). To enable these interactions between Threads users and Third Party Users we share information about Threads users with Third Party Services, and collect and process information about Third Party Users, even if they don’t have an account on Threads or other Meta Products as described further below."

For anyone thinking Bluesky would be a nice Twitter aka. X alternative, please read Bluesky's Privacy Policy which I linked down below and think again if you really want to switch or rather try to get used with Mastodon 🤔

Signal; Great Update!

Great Update guys, Signal got finally message editing for all plattforms, get sure you have updated to the latest version and Fun Fact for the people who still try to move family and friends away from WhatsApp, Signal don't have this stupid 15min edit time, you can edit messages even hours later! I thing this among the other facts about Signal is a big reason to make the switch. Definitly consider donating to Signal, since they are non-profit, opensource and private and still provide a better product to us then WhatsApp it does. I'm rly proud of the Developers from @signalapp@mastodon.world

TL;DR
- Signal Editing is here
- It has not only 15min time to edit like WhatsApp
- Consider donating to Signal

Telegram. One of the good private Messengers. Atleast thats what some people think.. Like I told some people the past Telegram isn't what it looks like, because I do research on things *before* I use them which I recommend to anyone else to who privacy matters to do this too. Anyway, thanks to NBTV for making this video 👍

I recommend to everyone who use or know people who use it to watch this video, it's rly well made and even I did learn things I didn't knew before 👀

Ecosia, is it really so private?

A article about Ecosia if it's really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private Ecosia actually is and which downsides it has. It's the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!
