I'm good with this response. I'm a Firefox user so can't yet make use of scribe, but its a feature I didn't expect and don't have today so I'm not missing out. For others with different threat models, if they can use it and enjoy, then more power to them.

Evel. Not Evil.

Thanks for sharing. Great read and points.

The appropriate view of your money is that you should never have to pay for the priveledge to use it. Do not ever use a bank, credit card, or any financial account that you need to pay for. They are making money off of you, which I'm OK with, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay them so they can make money with my money.

As others have said, it's all about your threat model.

For me, I keep mic and camera off at all times until I need it. Its a slight nuisance, but I'm nearly sure that it covers all the bases.

I could go hardcore and physically disable the mic in my phone, then only use earbuds for my mic. That's a bit much for me, and maybe my situation is a bit much for you.

I don't know specifically, but you can look at blocking Steam's telemetry.

I have. And I noted it in the recent survey as a must have.

I think you're looking for an IR blocking solution like this: https://github.com/nickbild/freedom_shield

use Netiquette

Wow, I haven't heard that in long time.

Does Apple encryption encrypt it from Apple? I legitimately don't know the answer to this, but I doubt it. Proton can't see your data even if they wanted to.

Yeah, other than freezing credit, there's not much you can do. It's a toothpaste out of the tube scenario. It's basically too late. The offerings always suck and are basically only there so they can say they're doing something for you.

Other than that, harden your privacy in general. Yeah, it doesn't help for breaches like this because you can't hide from your doctors, but simple things like having an alternate email address makes it a tiny bit better.
