How to Anonymize Your Linux System with Whoami #Whoami is a comprehensive toolkit that can anonymize a running #Linux session. It comes with scripts that can hide your machine’s real IP address, change its default DNS resolvers, and secure your browser. This article will show you how to install Whoami and run some of its modules to anonymize your Ubuntu system. Note: Don’t confuse this with the whoami command that displays the username of the current user. Also, Whoami works for any Debian and Arch based distro. https://www.maketecheasier.com/anonymize-linux-with-whoami/ @BonesTechGarage

HeliBoard #HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source #android#keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard.

If HeliBoard is installed as system app, and swypelibs are available for the system, they will be used. If the app is installed as a system app and swypelibs are available, glide typing will be available independent of the version.
