Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Delete your period tracking apps, folks.
Also, make no digital trail in relation to reproductive health matters.
are there any truly local and encrypted apps for period tracking? I wanted to try making one if not but obviously no point if its redundant.
I suppose it could still be broken into by the feds if they seize your phone (especially as they can usually coerce you to unlock it) so it would need to have extra safety features
This is the scenario I'm imagining. You just know those misogynistic thugs are going to make every effort to persecute those who run afoul of these insane upcoming laws.
Yeah I wonder if you could have a panic button to wipe your local data if you open the app in a certain way.
Set the app to be restricted to PIN access only, no bio unlock, can't compel that info without a warrant.
Then app dev has you set up two pins: The first is the same as the phone unlock pin, which is the app self destruct (or just doesn't decrypt data) and then a different pin that does the data decrypt, so this way if they compelled your pin and then try to open the app with the same one, oops, phone glitch, data gone.
It would also need it's own keyboard, Google tracks every word you type
My partner's app (clue?) doesnt need keyboard input for anything so that shouldnt be a big concern. Having one thats totally ephemeral could be better
