Vojager for Lemmy and Pixelix for Pixelfed. (Also PeerTube for PeerTube)

For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Some platforms are dead but we can change that. If more people post on a "dead" platform it will get alive. I also feel that some communities are missing but we can also change that. If you scroll endlessly then maybe try to be on maybe just some social media platforms. I really like Lemmy and hope you will also like it in the future.

China calls bluff on 245% US tariff: 'Meaningless' in c/world@lemmy.world

China manufactures most of the products from US companies. As we also see now, Chinese companies promote the idea of buying from the manufacturer directly instead of the middle man like "Why buying the Nike shoes for 80$ if you can get them from us for 5$."

When do people realize that this is really concerning. If they don't follow the law with their adds, why should they follow it with our data?

The German university KIT provides almost 30 free and open-source privacy-friendly Android apps. Example: A QR Scanner (secuso.aifb.kit.edu)

The best way to install them is through the F-Droid store, which is a catalogue of FOSS software for Android. It's installable by downloading the .apk file linked on the front page of the F-Droid projec'ts website. The mentioned apps from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology can then be found by searching for "SECUSO", which is the name of the research project behind them all.

Alternatively, you can also get them through the Google Play Store under this link or again by searching for "SECUSO".

In particular, I recommend getting the QR code reader, because many of the free-to-use scanners route everything you scan through their servers, so they're obviously collecting your data on their servers, wherever these may be located.
