It's Trump-proofish

• I approve of Matrix and Nextcloud.
• Proton unfortunately is probably the easiest option for now. We need better self hosted / anonymous email servers, but spammers and scammers have probably ruined that for everybody forever and fuck them all to hell for that. Best option is to just abandon email for anything sensitive.
• All the alternative social media is better, but they can still absolutely feed the lot of it into an LLM and then ask the LLM to print out a list of "likely dissidents." I would be shocked if this isn't coming soon to a United States near you - then again, I'm one to talk posting this on Lemmy, using a username I've used for over a decade from an instance that runs on a server I rent from a corporate cloud host.
• OS should be Whonix, Tails or Qubes.
• Browser should Tor Browser (or at least Brave, yes the company sucks, but the browser consistently scores top marks on real world privacy tests).
• No mention of FDE or post quantum crypto. Quantum chips are coming effing fast, if they're not already here. I have reason to believe both the US and China can currently make practical use of Shor's algorithm, although only in a targeted and VERY expensive way... but Moore's Law man, plus I can't prove it and I can't say more. Post quantum doesn't seem to be on most people's radar (most troubleshooting, the Tor project).
• Anything to do with phones is literally fucked, like "This is fine" dog level fucked. If you MUST be mobile (like basically everybody trying to do basically anything), you must accept you're probably NOT really fascist proof, unless you go to some pretty extreme lengths and REALLY know what you're doing.

As far as your average normie (or even above average competence tech saavy user) goes, this is close to as Trump proof as you're likely to get right now without help and support.
