This might help someone, I recently found an Android app called ‘DigiPaws’ that is designed to block selected apps during ‘quiet time’ or ‘focus periods’ that you set up - so the use-case of the topic.

I know “an app to quit an app” but I’ve found it actually really helpful to stop me from touching social media when I’m supposed to be winding down to go to bed - I click on Lemmy/Greyjay and it literally closes the app and popup/toasts ‘quiet time [period remaining]’ and I’m like, “oh yeah shit I should just go to bed”.

I have a bachelor’s degree but when it comes to the dopamine loop of social media scrolling I’m dumb as hell, and just having this little app effectively slap the phone away from my hand has been great in the month I’ve used it (its fairly new).

Its on F-droid store as its open source, code on github. I know that’s a big plus to most here.

I’m Aussie and came to the comments with a ‘wtf is that abomination’, glad to see they are already getting roasted haha

You just flat out made that up. The Spanish police (federal police its not clear) made a request through the legal channels under their terrorism laws.

Whether or not it is terrorism is absolutely not up to Proton or any other business to decide, they just have to comply with the laws of the land in which they operate - in this case, Switzerland.

The article says they were literally forced to comply with the request by Swiss Law as the request went through the proper legal channels.

They also only disclosed the accounts recovery email address. Everything else was obtained by Apple.

Why is reading sources so hard for people?

Nah man. Windows 10 was full of telemetry from day 1. It was the first version of Windows that hid away the ability to even use a local-only login, trying to push every user onto a MS account for that sweet tracking and advertising dollar.

They even gave the OS away for free - absolutely unthinkable to 90s/2000s era Microsoft, now why would that have changed?

Pushing the users to their cloud offerings for those that they can tempt, and tracking, profiling, advertising for every user. From conception.

Just look at who is in the White House, mate - and not just the president, but basically you can pick anyone he’s hand-picked for his staff.

Surely that’s an instant cure for any qualified person feeling imposter syndrome in their job.
