Did you ever notice how many so called #privacy services have their headquarters in Silicon Valley? Like Kagi Search, Brave and DuckDuckGo (DDG hq in PA). We all know about America spying on the whole world. So can we trust those services pretending to protect us while sitting only a few steps away from all the mass surveillance companies in Sillicon Valley?

So much truth in there #python #programming https://yewtu.be/watch?v=BgxklT94W0I (Individious)

I am looking for some reliable YouTube channels regarding #privacy to watch via Tubular. Any recommendations?

I'm someone who cares about #privacy. Not one of those hard core privacy guys who ramp over a whole life to master being absolutley privacy reserving. But I really care. Now, I curious to hear your opinion as I ran into a conflict between money and privacy: (First a little about my situation) Currently I'm still using an Oneplus Nord 2 with its default ROM. There is literally no stable custom one available. I know that Googles version of Android is spying at me - I want to use #GrapheneOS. Additonally I HAVE to use WhatsApp, otherwise I would socially disconnect from many friends that I can't get to use Signal. Graphene restricting Whatsapp taking my phones data would be great besides all the other great stuff. Here is the conflict: I need a Google Pixel sooner or later and it would be dump not to buy a Pixel 8 because of its long support. 6 years is really game changing. However my Oneplus is still working perfectly fine. Normally I wouldnt buy a new phone. But I would feel pretty strange to give my privacy away for a whole year more. Pixels are quite expensive - I could get a great Linux laptop for the same price and from the technical perspective my Oneplus would last. Even when it stops to recieve security updates in July. What are your thoughts about privacy vs. money? I find that topic quite ineresting.
