Yes, NextDNS has set by default an "Ads&Tackers Blocklist" and a few more to turn on.

I'm not sure its that easy nowadays, when lots of freelancers and self-exploiters struggle while being considered bourgeoisie. Or at least, not "proletariat". The lines are not as clear as they used to be.

Those terms are so vague and have so different meanings to a lot of people that I often avoid using them... I recently read the idea that egalitarian=left // strong hierarchy=right and it kinda makes sense, but it's still quite debatable

Maybe because I'm old enough to remember TV before streaming, I'm not so bothered by a 30 seconds add inside a video. And knowing who sponsors a content creator also gives a bit of context about their possible bias.

Good point Added then

I don't think I understand the other apps... It's social media, right? Not really into that

I know there are a lot, and it's overwhelming.

I use mull too, so I'll consider it Does fdroid delay the updates too much?

Good to know. Added it because I read it had some extra apps. I'm trying new stuff

Thanks, I still haven't got into crypo so Monero is not for me but I will study a few of those.

I am redesigning a big part of my digital life these days

Why not? Not reliable? Not safe? I'm re-learning (stuff got obsolete since last time I was interested)

Well... More or less. They specifically told me that I needed a "public domain email" and that it couldn't be encrypted. I read their ToS and it wasn't written anywhere. They didn't sound like they were too tech savvy and I had to insist before I got that answer. They are most likely just a call center with a manual to follow.

What I bothered the most is that they allowed me to change the mail. The kept sending me (wanted) ads there and I could login into their site. They even kept charging my subscription. Until I tried to pay for extra tickets. That broke their system and got stuck. After that I couldn't even use the tickets I already had in my account from the subscription.

I'm not proud to admit that I finally caved and went back to my old mail for the moment. I even had to show them an ID (which at least partially defaced before) so that I could use the tickets I has already paid for

Is there a real delay on updates? I mean, I'm in an almost 4 year phone with android 10, can't say I run behind the latest stuff
