If you’re worried about it, zip the file up in a password protected archive. No need to change oses or anything like that.

No.

I mean, check https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/monero/calculator and see for yourself, but I don’t think so.

The costs of shipping cash are: $1 or less for a security envelope, $1 or $2 for an international stamp (unless you live in Switzerland in which case it’s less). I usually just use the pen and paper I already have around or scavenge some scrap to write on.

I get the one time code from the mullvad website, write it on a piece of paper, put it and my payment in the envelope, write the address (no return address), apply the stamp, put it in some mailbox and wait for it to hit my account.

It’s often more than two weeks because they don’t process cash and mail every day. That doesn’t bother me because I keep an eye on the months left and re-up with plenty of time left.

Is it worth it? I tend to put more trust in the anonymity of easily broken chain of cash transaction than in the immutable ledger of cryptocurrency technologies.

Idk what to tell you, the price hike was announced months ago and I had to field a lot of questions from people I help with computers about it.

Another person posted the receipts for when emails got sent out and I remember warning people about this when it first “hit” the news cycle in January.

What would have been enough announcement?

The price hike was announced months ago iirc and brings bitwarden in line (still cheaper) with all the other services after being the same price over years and years of inflation.

I got my eyes on em because of the vc money but the price hike isn’t out of line.

I also liked them more when they weren’t popular. Second album is better, move towards keyboards was a mistake, bring back original bassist, went to hell when the drummer died, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It helped me understand because the ops linked article is an incomprehensible rambling blog post by someone who should be prescribed ai writing tools to improve their output.

As far as I can tell there is no automated reporting in either sensitive content warning or safety core (the android version, which sounds like a music genre) by design and scw is off by default unless you’re a child account and sc is on by default(? Not actually sure about this one, all the Android kid parents I know use third party systems instead of the built in stuff so I’ve literally never seen it in a default state). Which is what I assumed you meant when you said they both already do that.

It’s crazy that they’re trying to shift the enforcement of their age verification law to the device os. Hard to think of a precedent for that!

May I see some evidence for that?

Just stick with proton. Email isn’t secure and it doesn’t matter what the company does.

It’s possible but it’s more likely that the proton people were actually right place right time to catch lightning in a bottle and keep fucking up because they’re stupid and didn’t plan for it.

It doesn’t hurt that people who supposedly care about anonymity, security and privacy actually care about if they’re buying from someone they disagree with or get scoffed at online for using protons services.

Hey since you know a lot about this stuff, can you settle the balls/no balls debate?

TIL a racial slur with over a hundred years of use to demean and insult billions of people is the same as the word used to describe big titty dragons having penetrative sex with automobiles.

Please post the updated slurs.txt so I can call you them.

Ty, comedy is my passion.

So you have two different countries, two different sets of laws, and two different services with wildly different offerings.

You can’t really compare a drilled down percentage of compliance and reach the conclusion that there’s a difference in methodology under those conditions.

Just the much broader spectrum of services that proton offers makes it more likely that they will be in a position where they are required to comply with a larger portion of requests than tuta.

This is not intended to be a defense of proton, just a recognition that metrics are hard to take seriously in a comparison.

No company is in a position to resist lawful orders from government (not good orders, lawful).

It’s why every company that sells security makes a big show about planning to leave some western country when they say they’re gonna do mass surveillance. It’s all they can do.

Email is not secure and cannot be made secure.

Do not ever send anything through email that you rely on being private.

I am basing my statement on leaks from companies that sell phone hacking equipment to law enforcement, military, intelligence and government contractors.

It’s worth looking into those leaks because they give you insight into what can and cannot be trusted without placing the burden of understanding how on your shoulders.

Avoiding the necessity of deep understanding of hardware and software security details is important because the simpler and more straightforward security is, the more likely to achieve consistent process compliance you are.

If you would like to understand, there’s a ton of resources out there. One recommendation to preserve mental health: never go down the arm derivative design process rabbit hole.

I believe that the mit license is trash and only gpl and other viral licenses are worthwhile, but in case of safety or security the type of software or license isn’t the most important thing.

To give you some idea how little impact buying or not buying a pixel has: if you were comparing it to buying new, keeping it for six years and every dollar of your purchase went directly to google as profit, the $800 phone would be 1/322million-th of the revenue generated by that segment of the company during the time you use the phone. You’d be granting google 0.0000003% of their revenue in that segment over that period.

Because the phone isn’t actually all profit, and has to be designed, manufactured, marketed, warehoused, transported to market etc. the actual impact of buying or not buying a pixel phone on googles bottom line is even lower.

There’s a really good chance that a person running this would incorrectly assume they have some level of security and safety approaching graphene.

It uses vendor kernels and relies on the user to monitor update channels and perform patches.

If you need security and will not buy a pixel, you are most likely best served by switching to ios.

That’s not because I feel that a person who will not buy a pixel is somehow less-than or stupid, but because ios is very secure when hardened and kept up to date.
