  • VPN Comparison

    Jump

  • Most people haven't, till they have.

  • Nice little collection of privacy tools

    Jump

  • For security, Vanadium (only available on GrapheneOS. For privacy, Tor. Most everything else falls between on the scale.

  • Removed

    If one was available, would conservatives take a vaccine against the woke mind virus?

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • When was that, apparently I missed that.

    A quick search says November 2019.

  • Stremio + Torrentio is the way to go.

    Torrentio has started blocking VPNs.

  • Saw this ad - what do we know about Cape?

  • The sheer volume of communication data is far too large to monitor everything.

    By people, sure. Run it through a magical analytical algorithm that flags stuff for people to look? Or if that's still too much everywhere, they could focus it on a certain area's towers and process that data. Will it catch everything or not generate false positives? No, it's not perfect, but I could see it helping them and being done.

    I doubt an agency like this would just hoard the info and not proactively use.

  • 'Dumbphones' Are Not Private

    Jump

  • Even a lot of offices have moved to VoIP.

  • Microsoft launches ‘vibe working’ in Excel and Word

    Jump

  • Depending on where you go to school, 70% is passing while 50% is not. While "not far off," one is a C, the other a F.

  • OnePlus devices have a big SMS vulnerability, but a patch is finally on the way

    Jump

  • SMS is mostly used for 2-factor authentication, transaction status.

    Which they really shouldn't as it's still in the clear. But banks are slow to change, especially if it costs them money. As for mostly, I think it depends on the region. I think I've read that the US, Canada, and a few (not all) European countries still use SMS.

    I use Signal, which is widely considered the gold standard for E2EE apps, with the client app of Molly specifically (a hardened version of Signal).

  • Austria's Armed Forces Gets Rid of Microsoft Office (Mostly) for LibreOffice

  • they overspend by millions

    Because everyone needs their cut.

    either way a military tank is better than a civilian grade sedan.

    Because they're two different vehicles, not two different classes of product. If you compare military grade phones to civilian phones, the civilian would be better, and probably cheaper due to not having the buzzwords attached. And I bet a tank made by a private firm for non-government entities would in fact be better and cheaper than a military tank.

  • OnePlus devices have a big SMS vulnerability, but a patch is finally on the way

    Jump

  • I'm not downplaying it or saying it shouldn't be fixed, but...

    Effectively, due to modifications made to the standard Telephony package left the app open to abuse, allowing any installed application on an affected OnePlus device to access SMS and MMS data, along with metadata, “without permission, user interaction, or consent.”

    Just another vector. SMS is already plaintext/unencrypted, so shouldn't be used unless you're saying something you're comfortable with the world knowing. Switch to E2EE apps

  • It's the whole "if a fine is less than the profit, the fine is just considered a cost of business."

  • Thoughts on Grayjay?

    Jump

  • It's the only open source Rumble app...

    It's Source Available, not Open Source.

  • Installing a new distro

    Jump

  • I would like something in between...BTW I'm installing Bazzyte on another PC.

    If you're somewhat familiar with uBlue, Bazzite, and immutables, I'd go with Bluefin (Gnome) or Aurora (KDE). All three are uBlue / based off Fedora, so you don't have to learn a 2nd OS while working on your current OS (Bazzite).

  • Revolut, McDonald's, and Authy have banned the use of GrapheneOS.

    Jump

  • How about the ~100 Grammer? Or even just "100 G" if you're trying to be "hip."

  • Revolut, McDonald's, and Authy have banned the use of GrapheneOS.

    Jump

  • But when did you set Authy up? I don't recall when Authy made the change, but it wouldn't kick you out. It would, however, prevent you from signing in a new device. So if you lose your phone, you might lose access to those tokens...

  • Bernie Sanders: We Need More Working-Class Candidates to Challenge Both Parties

    Jump

  • Bernie is working with the Democrats. The Democrats are not working with Bernie. Bernie is picking the lesser of the two evils, as he sees it.

    The criticism is not that Bernie doesn't work with them, but rather they are not working with him. There is a difference between those two.

  • throw away their votes on a 3rd party...That’s how Trump got elected a 2nd term

    While that didn't help, I don't think it was the cause. Last I checked, if you gave Harris the 3rd party votes, Trump would still win. Republicans had increased voter turnout, while Democrats decreased...and overall turnout decreased. So it was apathy and lack of votes that won.

    But I'm busy, going off memory, and didn't check latest stats. So please, feel free to correct me.
