For the past year, I’ve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on tiddeR and here. Everything makes sense to me now. I’m a privacy guru🥹. How to move on? What’s the next step? 😁

P.S. if you’re just at the beginning of your journey, I don’t think you’ll find a better resource than PrivacyGuides. Highly recommend it!

    Holy shit you did it! Congrats man…

    I couldn’t do the transition to Signal because of the family/friends. And the LineageOS thing, I couldn’t do that to my brand new Pixel7, lol. But others are pretty much done at this point. Thanks for PrivacyGuides, didn’t know that!

      It was not so simple, but kinda ultimatum take worked out. Talk here or nowhere. There is way better option for Pixel phones, GrapheneOS. Truly awesome peace of software. You should definetly try it. PrivacyGuides is basically the best and biggest portal to privacy as of now. Competent explanations, recommendations, criterias. It is successor to privacytools.io which was turned in to trash by main dev in 2021 with ads based recommendations of software that have nothing to do with privacy. All biggest contributors moved on to PrivacyGuides 😉

        Yep I know the GrapheneOS. My plan is to use my phone for a bit (it is not that cheap in Azerbaijan 😄 ) and then switch to graphene.

        Well, good luck to both of us!

          Chance of phone brick is kinda zero so I think you should flash it. And it is very easy through web installer, just 5-6 button clicks. Good luck! 😃❤️
