Unfortunately many places don’t give me any choice.

I use an authenticator app where i can.

@delirious_owl

It’s voip phone, texts on data. Not accepted by every bank or 2 factor provider tho.

Thank you for the suggestions.

@delirious_owl

Gotcha. I guess i do have one, Google Voice, but for various reasons i don’t like that for anything important.

Do you have any suggestions?

@delirious_owl

Hmm. When I’m in airplane mode on Wi-Fi i do not get text messages (sms). I might get calls but I’m not sure.

@delirious_owl

Interesting. But I do need to get messages and calls and airplane mode kills that.

@IllNess @j4k3

I turn my Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi on when i need to use them, otherwise they’re off.

Partly for privacy but also for battery life.

Do most people leave those on all the time?

@EherNicht

Based on their website i don’t see how.

Firefox with ublock (blokada on mobile), do not track, a few settings tweaks, and using ddg or startpage for search seems to be pretty much what librewolf is.

@JustMarkov @dethada

Is Librewolf any different than Firefox with good privacy extensions?

@SteveFromMySpace @crusa187@lemmy.ml

I just immediately block people who use terms like bidey-bro.

Life it too short and my feed is too long.

Not really. Online they’ll need my user/pass, 2fa for starters.

If they try to do it by phone they’ll need to first answer a bunch of questions (which yes they can probably get), but then upload a photo of my license…

@ChaosCoati @Chozo

Exactly.

But it’s very easy and fast to temporarily thaw it when you want to apply for credit.

I’ve been doing it for years.
