Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) in c/technology@lemmy.world

This can be as “simple” as your phones being in close proximity to each other for an extended period, and sharing device advertising IDs/other device data via WiFi, Bluetooth. Might be more to it, but it’s a likely factor.

Devices do this regularly btw, smartphones also scrape for WiFi networks to better geolocate etc.

Some tech-related things I personally use instead of their american counterparts in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

In this case, I think the creator just avoids Telegram, for good reason:

It’s not E2EE encrypted by default.

The list is not named appropriately “US etc” but it’s not a bad list either

I still like this meme in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Yes but it also reopens everything exactly as you left it, meaning you can update and not loose anything mission critical; ymmv ofc but in my personal experience MacOS has the best update experience from mainstream OS

A switch away from US big-tech is great, but the switch should be made to something fundamentally better and more secure/privacy preserving IMO.

Not every single tool you might need will have a recommendation on this website, but some will and they're well researched and vetted alternatives that often perform better than the service you're replacing.
