Hello lemmings lemmons and any other lemm out there. I’ve always wanted to try to switch to more privacy focused options but it’s always been difficult for me as I’m not really tech savvy and frankly for a very long time haven’t really cared about privacy.
Transitioning has also been hard since I feel like I’m pretty much the antithesis of this community: using an iPhone and 2 windows computers (one for home use and one for my college classes on campus) and use OneDrive to sync work between the 3 devices.
Pretty much every account I have is under my gmail account and a second back up email is also under gmail.
Frankly I’m sure this is the highest form of insult to this community but I use edge simply because I’ve given up trying to fight Microsoft
So it’s been a challenge to switch but for browsers and just copy paste all my bookmarks and saved passwords when I download Firefox on my phone and computers but as for email and online accounts switching off that gmail account seems daunting but not impossible and I have no idea what to do to replace OneDrive since it is useful and works in file explorer with no extra software
I figured if anyone was smart enough to tackle the abomination that is my privacy it’d be you guys
Take a look at privacy.sexy (you’ll have to paste this is, could not get link to work) first and configure your PCs. That’s the only step imma give and it might be the most important
Thanks for this. I’m only dipping toes in for now but definitely gonna use this when I’m more comfortable and stuff
Seriously, it basically walks you through and automates basically everything you need to toggle to get to optimal config on your computers. I don’t know what PC has but the Mac part literally does all the defaults writing for you so you just check the boxes, export the file, and run it in the command line or whatever to mass-apply it all
Oh cool
The link doesn’t work.
