$20… Wait… why do I keep doing this for free?

i wonder if they are a honeypot too

If you use a free tier VPN, which doesn’t allow torrenting, then connect tor to it, then connect another non-tor encrypted connection to that (such as a different VPN), if you torrent from the different VPN (an encrypted VPN stream that passes through Proton), they still detect torrenting. This suggests advanced DPI. What no log VPN needs DPI?

They also have dark design elements including logs you have to turn off by default.

Proton also does aggressive scanning of certain things users do and will shut down accounts based on that. The problem is what privacy focused company scans user stuff like that?

They also log multiple browser metrics when signing up or at least access them, such as audio context fingerprints. Is that really important for the sign up process?

It wasn’t bad they gave up info to jail an activist, it was bad they said in their marketing materials they couldnt and didnt do that.

ProtonVPN also for many years never accepted Monero and their email didn’t as well. So they care about privacy, but won’t accept the privacy crypto? There wasn’t a rational explanation for it, unless they are a honeypot. There were third parties who could have accepted the funds. The whole thing was unusual. It was incredibly suspicious. If you care about privacy so much, why not accept Monero for your email services? This is the most damning part of this. If they are a honeypot, it makes sense, if they aren’t it’s a head scratcher.

It could be a coincidence? Possibly? But probably it isn’t. Everyone who loves privacy loves XMR. They don’t like XMR. You know who hates XMR? Governments. And so if someone is saying “I love privacy” and has numerous complex programs released, but then says XMR is too hard to accept, it should indicate something is odd.

There is a single best answer. 40 hours of work is too much given other responsibilities and compankes should be required to pay overtime when someone works over 32 hours.

Women in the workforce means most workers don’t have a fulltime childcare assistant cook cleaner at home anymore and the hours per week at work has not adjusted accordingly.

This doesn’t preclude policy decisions made by elite politicians funded by the wealthy from being designed to keep lower classes too exhausted to politically mobilize or rise up the caste or class system.

The OT rules are governed at a national level and incentiving certain hourly amounts is policy created by the elites who know exhausted workers have less energy to question their exploitation. Look at wealth inequaluty by country and hours per week worked by the average person.

Corporations don’t think. People do. And elite rich people set policy that the lower classes either accept or rebel against.

Oh my goodness, the stupidity is off the charts

The fight is over whether Apple must officially break into their code in the normal way

It doesn’t preclude a back door

There could be a backdoor exploit program so people can acess the phones and see everything in them through the cellular modem in certain parts of the government.

If other parts of the government were not privy to this, they could get into an argument in open court about breaking their “privacy” generally

Do you think if there was a gag order the lawyer representing Apple would write “But wait, this is an irrelivant debate because there’s actually another backdoor exploit?”

Some of these phines could have been in airplane mode also making 1 type of exploit not usable.

You do not know what the fuck you are talking about at all.

Do you think an attorney for Apple is going to go into a court and say “The secret court made us put a baxkdoor into this part of tge phone, so why are we even arguing about this?” Such a lawyer would be jailed. You are incredibly naive and your reasoning is mostly “but Apple said so”

The code is closed source.

Removed by mod

They don’t need to incur a benefit. If the government contacta their legal department with an order saying we need to talk to your developers in charge of iOS as part of a court order, they are required to do it and can face jail and fines if they don’t comply.

If the government says “don’t say there’z an exploit” it’s not going to be disclosed in their policy and they will be protected for lying by omission if a court is requiring that.

What is their motive? Avoiding contempt.

Are you this naive about closed source code or the power of jails and fines to persuade people to lie? How would this threaten their business model? How would anyone know about the exploit given their code is closed source and law enforcement regularly use parallel construction? No one can audit the code. Do you know what closed aource code is or how a gag order works?

This is an irrelevant and stupid comment. If Apple is required by a gag order not to disclose an exploit, their legal policy would not violate the gag order.

You think if they did build an exploit after a demand they would write about it in their legal notices? That’s just dumb.

That’s bullshit. They would be insulated from that since they were required to put in exploits. The government doesn’t say “You are required to do A B C” and then let people sue over A B or C.

This view is incredibly naive. If a backdoor exploit was added by one group of developers who did the code for the cellular modem and network parts of the operating system, there would only be certain people aware on a need to know basis. You could have other ignorant law enforcement officers unaware of the exploit making demands in court as well as Apple’s legal department fighting requests and the exploit is still there. It is incredibly naive and frankly stupid to be believe that a lack of a leak about closed source code means probably an exploit like that doesn’t exist. Demanding proof with closed source code, gag orders, and large development teams, only some of whom could know about an exploit and gag order, is just not really being realistic.

Are websites often implementing all creepsjs tequniques? It seems like if standard identifiers were enough they wouldn’t add in more just because minimal benefit relative to extra effort.

Does TLS fingerprinting do more than fingerprint browser type?

Any screen is unique based on manufacturing process. Resolution not unique does not mean canvas fingerprint is not unique. You are wrong. Nothing special does not block canvas fingerprinting attempts.

This is naive and inaccurate because unique screens have unique canvas fingerprinting. Youre giving people bad info.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and joking and didn’t realize the phrase was highly connected recently with a right-wing racist piece of trash. I try to ignore what she says because she’s such an idiot and so no, I didn’t get it.

I’ve never listened to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Although I know there are racist conspiracy theories, it doesn’t mean all conspiracy theories are racist.

You have to get past the racism and flat-earthers to get to the REAL good conspiracy theories. Some of them end of being false, but some seem to be true. Either way they become more interesting.

Any Havanna Syndrome inflicted on Biden would likely be done by Russia and would be unrelated to Jewish people. Russia is the one with the most to gain from Biden losing, especially since the conspiracy theory is Trump is a Russian agent.

What is your proof that it’s not space lasers?

Why is this shocking? Havana Syndrome is blatantly real.

Seems possible.

The packages in Debian are really old. It’s awful.

I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. “So outdated,” I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.

You may be right.
