  • How do you do purchases online / offline?

    Jump

  • Most "privacy guides" like that literally just shift trust from one party to another.

    Banks are starting to have temporary credit card numbers themselves for a purchase. It depends if you want "privacy" or "anonymity" as it seems like the person in the video wants the second.

    Nowadays there are precious few actually private or anonymous email providers themselves. Maybe Posteo or Tuta? But I don't know their audit history with leaking metadata or handing over logs and information when asked.

    Honestly I have accepted that if I have to buy online, there is always a paper trail. Buy in-store in cash when possible, use second hand websites in your area. It is better for the environment too. Anything digital will have a paper trail that can always be de-anonymized with enough effort.

    All my electronics hobby stuff I have to buy online and I just do this with my normal credit card, especially since they have export controls in many distributors and if you get caught using fake credentials they will likely blanket blacklist you as someone trying to bypass export controls and use medical/consumer sensors and devices for weapons, against the companies' restrictions.

  • An almost inexhaustible reserve of lithium discovered in Canada

    Jump

  • Wasn't the last time a Canadian company discovered an "inexhaustable supply" of some mineral it was a gold scam that was one of the biggest mining industry scams in history that scammed people out of their pensions?

    Please, I would like to see chain-of-custody third party samples before jumping to conclusions.

    US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack

  • Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s.. I wonder what happened then.

    Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.

  • Hamas calls on Israel to allow impartial investigation into 7 October attacks

    Jump

  • It's funny because

    1. Israel has been funding Hamas (Bibi himself has spoken multiple times about it) for many years, giving them the equipment to do October 7th.
    2. Israel activated the hannibal directive according to their own (now former) defense minister on a live TV interview which means that on October 7th, many many many of the civilians and IDF soldiers that died were deliberately killed by the IDF themselves.
    3. It takes 45 minutes to fly from end to end by helicopter. Many Israeli official has refused to deny that there was a stand down order, but the army was not deployed at all until hours and hour and hours later, when they could have driven with tanks there and back again multiple times, with an army of 165,000 in a country the size of new jersey, outnumbering them 28:1 with 100x the equipment on home turf (by Israels massively inflated numbers too)
    4. Some of the Israeli hostages were not tortured in prison with Hama's by their own tongues, but were then raped when she got back to Israel. Meanwhile Palestinian hostages are tortured daily for decades, eyes gouged out, as well as gang raped and raped by trained rottweilers by Israeli forces, and civilian Israeli doctors don't report on it, but instead enable it.

    As far as anyone should be concerned. Israel funded, executed their own attack of their own civilians, and enabled it by standing down as well as treated their own civilian hostages they took (and continue taking) 10x worse.

  • DIY E-Reader Folds Open Like A Book (Diptyx)

    Jump

  • And by "tending to last longer" it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.

    When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.

  • Also in the Nuremberg US versions of the trails:

    Less than a fraction of one percent of identified war criminals got prosecuted. 99.8%+ got off scott-free.

    (>100,000 war criminals arrested, 2500 were identified as "major war criminals" and the rest let free, of whom 177 were tried, the rest of the major war criminals getting off with 0 consequences and many getting jobs in the US, of those, 142 were convicted)

    0.142% of war criminals had any consequences at all. Many of those were just for publicity.

  • Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense

  • Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years...

  • Distrohop Recommendation Wanted: Fedora or Secureblue?

  • Is gamedev a good hobby? or should i try something else?

    Jump

  • But that is the best part of user software development.

    Developing [a game] is pretty much free, so if you make any money out of it at all is just a bonus.

    Most physical hobbies cost money where if you make some money from it it likely won't even start breaking even, you are often 1-10k€ in the hole before you even start selling anything.

  • Proton has handed over 32,076 users' data to governments since 2017. Their own transparency report states a 94% compliance rate in 2024.

    Jump

  • That doesn't mean anything.

    If you "by default" don't log, then when receiving a court order, there is nothing to hand over which is the entire point. If,magically, logs from the past 5 years when they said there were "no logs" show up, that means they were lying about no logs.

    Just like they now advertise that your data is fully end to end encrypted and even they can't see it.

    If, with a court order, they are able to decrypt and hand over your data, then they were lying in the first place that they couldn't read your data and it isn't end to end encrypted

    Court orders aren't some magical thing that go back in time and redo history. The entire point of these heavily advertised precautions is exactly against court orders by corrupt, tyrannical governments using the law as a political or fascist blunt weapon against citizens.

  • The USB control is a good point because for example my Xperia 5ii defaults the port control to full data connection

    Not only that, Sony will, after you disable port data transfer, will silently re-enable it after a time.

  • As someone in the motor fabrication business, stamping and adhering the stators are something that is really hard to do price-competitively compared to China and India.

    Winding machines are also insanely expensive for people trying to break into the industry to become more independent, and they are mostly chinese-made nowadays too. Older-secondhand Italian equipment exists, but I don't know about new stuff, also probably much more expensive
