For someone still early on in coding, open-source provides some comfort as folks with light years more experience help to ensure the programs do as intented plus instead of having to buy software I’m able to throw spare cash at projectes I enjoy when it makes sense.

As far as Wells Fargo (with Chase, Citi & B of A) goes, I finally think I found a solid alternative. The four banks listed above are responsible for a quarter of all fossil fuel funding over the last six years. Any money held with them, 90% of it they can invest how they see fit. ATMOS Financial is a FDIC insured bank which uses 100% of its investing for saving the environment. They have great APY optins for savings accounts as well. If you want to issue a corporate death penalty, using it on businesses who knowingly wreck the environment for profit is my vote, otherwise this is a fantastic option to ensure you’re not providing them the option.

I would assume the individuals who claimed BitWarden has privacy issues are not very well versed on the topic. If you wanted to check out some alternatives, a site I trust has the four highest rated password managers/generators from a security and privacy standpoint to be: BitWarden, LessPass, KeePassXC & Spectre. LessPass and Spectre generate passwords with no storage needs though. BitWarden is audited four times each year by a third party and I have only ever seen surface level issues identified which are always quickly amended.

Of course, yet if a device is running a security and privacy centered relatively uncommon operating system (Graphene) I’m hoping this would allow it to slip through the cracks most likely focused on collecting data from androids and iphones. Guess after typing it out its more clear how much of a stretch it is to hope this is the case but I still have some hope…

This is a great question and the first thought which comes to my mind is lobbyist. Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome type of vibe with this information. Linux and Graphene demonstrating to be even more valuable now, hopefully a Graphene OS device can circumvent this atrocity, right?

There’s one other app I use which I find very helpful for privacy. It’s called insular and it basicly partitions your phone. So if you use apps with accounts or trackers you can install them on “the island” verse your phone or “mainland” in the app. Any apps installed on the island cant access information from apps on the mainland. You can also shut off internet to the island as you wish plus choose to keep apps frozen even when its on and just connect it manually as needed.

This is a great list of alternatives. The only thing I don’t see here is MEGA as an alternative for Google Drive. Offers 20GB at no charge and is encrypted. I use it for photos, music and documents when need. I love it and its how I moved away from Google’s cloud/storage products. I also use Simple Camera for taking photos but I’ll have to check out OpenCamera after reading this info.

At this point is there even an opportunity to reverse our current trajectory or has the point of no return already been crossed?
