Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.

On top of this, use products that are more privacy conscience, as in they take it more serious, such as an email provider.

AI doesn't automatically equal not private. Its probably still has private as it was before.

Now if it starts showing it knows things about you, then I'll be concerned.

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it's not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I'd like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive...

No. Just in case I forget to remove the information if I post it anywhere.

Unfortunately you probably won't find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.

In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.

Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.

Yes, but its not supported on everything. I use Yubikeys since they support more interaction types. I personally use them to lock my more important things when I can. Like my password vault, financial sites, emails, accounts, etc.

For the accounts that are whatever, less important I use OTP. You can also store a limited amount of OTP tokens on the Yubikey and use their open source software to view the codes.

ALWAYS buy a backup if you do end up locking accounts with it, just in case you lose it. It is more secure than having a code saved digitally as you need the physical key to unlock things.
