  • Republicans Claim They Have a Healthcare Plan. But They Won't Tell You What's in It

    Jump

  • They haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.

  • Pete Hegseth to set up National Guard ‘quick reaction forces’ to quell unrest across all 50 states

    Jump

  • This. It’s all in preparation for 2026 and if needed, 2028.

  • Users vow to boycott Spotify after streamer runs ICE recruitment ad

    Jump

  • Navidrome/Airsonic with reverse proxy is best. There are lots of Android and iOS apps that stream music from you server. Rather than a reverse proxy, you could try connecting via tailscale maybe? I think at minimum, this would require your phone to be connected to tailscale whenever you want to listen to music. Not sure if this would work or be practical.

    Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?

    Jump

  • Nazism isn’t “banned” per se, at least in the U.S. as the First Amendment does not allow for viewpoint discrimination, however repugnant a viewpoint might be. But the First Amendment does not protect against cultural, social, or other forms of non-government backlash for those who support disgusting ideologies like Nazism.

    So there is no “banning” that could take place of the Zionist viewpoint, if we were to consider it on par with Nazism. By and large in the U.S., Zionism and Nazism are not seen as equally repugnant viewpoints in the cultural landscape, hence the difference in how supporters of these views are treated. Hope that makes sense.

  • Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’

    Jump

  • Ah yes... the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a "vulnerable group"

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

  • Fair enough!

  • Maybe, I couldn't say if it's a premium for privacy, marketing, or what.

    As for turning over data without a warrant, I don't have a problem with companies complying with lawful orders, as Proton does. I don't think there's any evidence to support the notion that Proton complies with non-legal or mere requests from LE. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Jump

  • I don't have an issue with telcos complying with lawful warrants, which is what Lawful Interception requires. but if your telco can only turn over limited amounts of data because that's all it has access to, then that's a plus.

    Separately, do you have a source that telcos are unaware when LE is wiretapping? LE would likely need the assistance of the telco to do so and the telco should require the warrant.

  • I don't think this is really a replacement for the offering that Cape is proposing. Airalo are data only eSIMs and target consumers who need short-term data plans while traveling abroad. This is not a replacement of your primary carrier service and doesn't give you a phone number. Additionally, other than the transient nature of the temporary eSIM you buy, there are no notable privacy-focused features behind Airalo.

    Not saying Cape follows through with its claims, just saying these are not really comparable offerings.

  • UK once again demands backdoor to Apple’s encrypted cloud storage

    Jump

  • We can all condemn CP and rightfully so. But it's asinine to think you can break encryption and that only the good guys will be able to take advantage of that.

  • UK once again demands backdoor to Apple’s encrypted cloud storage

    Jump

  • Don't think that happened yet when I commented, but there you go - just the justification the UK government is looking for.

  • True, expensive. Prosper to offset no selling customer data.

  • Yeah it looks like the cell network is the consumer facing product

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

    Jump

  • Fair points. Different strategies for different threat models I assume. Anonymity through hardening (if we take Cape at their word, big if) or security through obscurity.

  • 100% agree. I would definitely not have them install graphene for you. Do it yourself so you know what’s in the installation

  • Collecting and monitoring are two different things. If NSA is still dragnetting communications in the post-Snowden era, it’s likely storing and then accessing when something gives the reason. The sheer volume of communication data is far too large to monitor everything.

  • Has anybody noticed Whatsapp adds cleavage to thumbnails?

  • Wtf? Is this real?

  • UK once again demands backdoor to Apple’s encrypted cloud storage

    Jump

  • It’s insane how intense the UK is being about breaking encryption. I could understand the hysteria if they had just suffered a terror attack or something and were riding public outrage, but as far as I know this is just based on some nebulous national security/protect the kids justification.

    It’s insane. The U.S. and E.U. are not doing any better. The west is becoming a surveillance state.

  • "Is any SMS/phone call coming out of your personal number something you should consider private from the government? Probably not."

    Well your phone calls themselves -- the actual conversation -- shouldn't be accessible without a warrant for a wire tap, that's pretty longstanding precedent in the U.S. Cell phone location information is also protected by a warrant (Carpenter v. U.S.), but pen registers (logs of who you call) do not require a warrant (Smith v. Maryland). I'm not sure if governments are prevented from purchasing data from carriers, just as any data broker could do. Additionally, who knows if governments are secretly collecting phone call and cell phone data and storing it, but only accessing it once they have a warrant. It's impossible to know what's fully happening on the back end between big telco companies and the gov't.

    Either way, at the end of the day, whether you have Cape or some other service, if you're at the level of the government getting a warrant for your data any legitimate company is going to comply. That's why the best thing is to have a company that can only turn over limited amounts of data because that's all they have.
