2·3 months agoYou won’t get rid of google tracking you on Youtube or Gmail,
For gmail that’s true (one should use something else anyhow). For youtube you can use an alternative frontend like NewPipe to avoid tracking.
If you care about privacy you should use a trustworthy paid email. They even aren’t that expensive. You can get them as low as 1 € / month.
You can basically disable most Google tracking though a good DNS that blocks that traffic.
So only most but not all. Therefore it’s not private if there’s any tracking. Thus a de-googled version is the only option.
Have you checked the source code that they actually respect private dns setting for their tracking? Or otherwise verified that no traffic goes to google tracking servers?
If there’s tracking it’s not private.

They didn’t use very comprehensive research methods. Also they only used Github.
First, from the GHTorrent data set, we extract the email addresses of GitHub users. Second, for each email address, we use the search engine in the Google+ social network to search for users with that email address. Third, we parse the returned users’ ‘About’ page to scrape their gender.
a bias against men exists, that is, a form of reverse discrimination.
How is it reverse discrimination. It’s still plain old discrimination. I’m starting to smell a biased research here. Or at least the researchers have a bias.
This research isn’t peer reviewed so I wouldn’t take it at face value just yet.
Not getting updates doesn’t make any app inherently bad. Possible bugs just won’t get fixed. If an app is feature complete and everything works as they should there’s no need to update it.
Are these available on f-droid already?
Tor browser can be used to access the site itself but don’t use it for torrenting itself.
I use that myself though haven’t sent a sms/mms in like > 10 years. Anyhow FOSS > stock spyware any day. The fossify project has many other useful tools as well.
