Signal – Don’t forget to configure for privacy
In a business or non-profit environment, there is a good chance that your management team is using Signal. And why not? It brings security and privacy to messaging, file sharing, video and phone calls. Not only can you do one-to-one communications, you can create and manage groups. Sensitive business conversations can remain secret. What’s not to like about that?
Out-of-the-Box Signal needs attention to the configuration settings to get the best privacy. If you are a CISO or IT specialist, you can help your management team configure Signal for the best privacy.
After installing Signal on a mobil phone or desktop, review the configuration settings and adjust them as needed. Here is a free guide that will get you started:

Paint the Cameras Dead: Postcards for pushing back against surveillance. | Product Hunt
Not every project needs an app, an AI model or another screen. Paint the Cameras Dead is a physical set of postcards made for the street, not the cloud. Each card helps you notice surveillance cameras hiding in plain sight, ask who controls them and map what you find. Print them, share them, leave them in cafés, libraries or community spaces, and use them today. No download, no account, no update cycle. Just paper, attention and a small act of resistance.

Yeah, good luck with that for Safari users...
These are the top and bottom parts of 2 loads of that page a few seconds apart. Not private windows, no browser restart or other trickery. It can’t even settle on a CPU or screen size in the same load. It is apparently using 2 different sources for CPU type and for screen dimensions. I have not told Safari to claim that it is on Intel, that appears to be an Apple choice.

I'm sure no one will use this for stalking or peeping, nope, that would never happen.
