Yeah LS is truly a great resource for so many topics. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙌
I’m doing this myself very soon, honestly looking forwards to it so much 😁
Windscribe had in my opinion always had a great level of transparency as well as the funniest marketing by miles!! Seriously check out their YT videos. While I don’t have a VPN at the moment I would definitely recommend Windscribe to people who ask.
Thanks for shedding light on this! I will do my part and no longer post in communities tied to lemmy.ml!
Plex is also on the route of enshittitfication. Jellyfin is the better recommendation imo. A variety of apps that can connect to it too, for either streaming or music.
For music libraries:
Just want to let you know that Privado VPN is not a private vpn, please read their privacy policy before buying into their services.
I guess lidar also sorts music for you, like radarr and sonarr does with Movirs/Series.
Interesting choice of name to say the least…
Have sadly not checked these out in detail, however they do seem more promosing that the general free vpn one find by looking up “free vpn” on Google Play Store. Neither of them use excessive amounts of permissions, and the permssions they do ask for seem to fair to ask for. Neither of them have trackers implemented too which is nice. I would trust these more than other ‘completelty free VPNs’ atleast. However I’m only judging of first impressions and a quick look at their permissions. I’m assuming they lack features, speed etc…
If you want trust and transparency then options like Mullvad, Proton and IVPN would be my suggestions.
Thanks for sharing, their videoes seem to be of high quality, defo something I’ll subscribe to.
Hi there, as someone who is writing his master thesis on the privacy of fee vpns. I cannot recommend a single one. By that I mean the ones that advertise themselves as being a mainly free vpn. I have not had a look at privado in specific, but would highly recommend sticking to Proton. Their vpn is also fairly priced if you ask me.
Addtionally, if you want to quickly check out an app to see if they use excessive amounts of permissions(based on manifest file), and the implemented trackers they have you can use Exodus Privacy Tool; https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/io.privado.android/latest/
This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅
Corporate greed.
Could you please explain the need for so many permissions(35)?
Like why would a board game need access to:

Love they called the defence framework “Maybenot”.
Oh, that was a bit difficult to catch hehe 🙃
That’s neat tool, thanks for sharing 🌻
APKmirror is alright, otherwise you can download RacoonAPK that connects to o Playstore to extracts any APK you want.
