I’m surprised they don’t just compel companies to build the backdoor into the client software itself rather than trying to remove or weaken the encryption. That way, E2EE continues to work properly.
Obviously don’t use a VPN
To me this kinda defeats the point of being privacy-conscious.
It’s still relatively easy to sign up for a major email provider anonymously.
In my experience, it is actually impossible. Either you get blocked (IP/ASN ban, endless captchas) or it requires SMS confirmation. I have not been able to sign up for any major email provider anonymously. I’m pretty sure that’s by design.
pretty sure it’s because nginx was started about ten years before the JSON standard existed
It is not easy for privacy-conscious users in my experience. They have gone back and forth multiple times on banning registration/login via tor. And whether it’s tor or a common VPN provider, they often will immediately ban you upon first login. Many common private email providers are also blocked. Plus for people that don’t want to give anything to Microsoft or their AI training in the first place, it’s already a non-starter.
If that does happen, I just hope there will be enough developers by then that can/will want to use it (as in, write rust code). Especially developers that can put up with the kernel process and its people.
Distros are still free to make their own RPM packages, they can’t go around the GPL there.
But having official flatpak release makes it very easy to update to the latest versions regardless of your distro.
In my experience most of the people that are vehemently against corporate influence in open source, are just against capitalism in general.
But most people don’t want to drop off the grid and go live in the woods… a middle-ground compromise would be nice.
I don’t consider myself hateful in the first place so I’m not aware of anything that needs changing, but I’m open to constructive criticism.
This is why FOSS is so important. Then you can at least control the app and know that it’s not being updated with malicious code.
I 100% agree with you, and my apologies if I came off as hateful, I really don’t think I am, but my problems are only with the people who make it their entire identity as you say, they are just exhausting humans in general and I don’t really care how they want to identify or whatever, I would pose the same arguments to people of any persuasion if there was a sizeable number of them doing it.
And SMTP/IMAP do not support end-to-end encryption, so a malicious server can still spy on you even if it uses TLS.
But I dislike that it requires even going that info
I never understood this stance… do people really think a corporation is going to risk their entire company over your anonymity when their country’s government does not allow this? Nobody is going to jail for you.
Plus, if everyone could easily sign up anonymously, then like they said, it would be overrun with bots and the reputation of their IPs would quickly deteriorate to where most other email providers would just block them, making the service almost worthless.
By satellite do you mean like a dish physically plugged in with a cable? I wasn’t aware of any “app” used for that on any TV… I just switch the input with the remote to like HDMI/component/RF/etc. and the normal android tv interface goes away completely.
What “TV app” is this exactly? I’ve never seen or heard of that before, and none of my google/android TVs or dongles have anything like that.
Also what make and model TV is this?
yet you claim marcan is lina with zero proof?
