Every other day I see the the world turning into a cyberpunk hellscape with no privacy. I am starting to feel what's the point of trying to claw back privavy.

However I am not givong up as the need for privacy is more important than ever.

It the spirit of continuing the fight how should what should I Improve next?

Currently running Fedora 40 and use only open source apps. When browsing I try and use Mullvad browser and use my regular logins on a hardened Firefox with arkenfox. I have proton unlimtes for mail, passwords, drive and a VPN which is always on. I have filen as a back for redundancy and my most import files are encrypted with Crypomator and uploaded to both clouds.

On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android. The only I have replaces most android apps with Fossify apps and use Obtanium, Aurura and F-Droid for apps. I use ente Auth for authentication except for my work as I have to use Microsoft Authenticator. The only proprietary apps I use are Facebook messenger, spotify, google maps and my bank. I use Facebook messenger and maps through shelter .

For browsing on Android I use Mull and on my android Proton VPN is always on. I visit twitter and twitter ocasionly but always through mull browser.

For keeping in contact with freinds I use Aliucord in Android and Vesktop on my PC

Before anyone asks my bank is App only and it is the only way I have been able to successfully manage my finaces so I have to stay with that for now.

For spending habniys I try to use Google pay as little as possible and use my master card.

My Apologies for my english I am a little stupid when it comes to spelling and grammar.

Which usually leads to their being shut down.

It's nice to see an org choose a side, but then we lose that org and we're back to square one.
