If Signal were to make a backdoor for the government, that would compromise the security of all users world-wide.

I’m thinking the law passes but the courts kill it due to it violating our Charter. I also feel that the tech companies will not wait for the court case to conclude before leaving Canada.

This happens to many of us without a degree. lol

You might get lucky and find someone who Degoogle their phone here https://xdaforums.com/c/samsung.11975/. I’ve seen lists of apps that are safe to remove in the forum.

I’ve tried a second user a few times but found it annoying.

What I do is everything in one user. I disable any app that I need once in a while that doesn’t respect my privacy. For example, the Amazon app. I need this app (pin is not an option) to open their locker a few times per year. I leave it disabled until I’m standing in front of the locker.

Maybe you could try Orbot or the free tier of Protonvpn for some of your profiles instead of using three Mullvadvpn devices?

It was the codec. I added them in and it never worked for me but every forum and site all said to do the same thing. I gave up fighting my computer and found another way.

Fedora 44 Cinnamon user.

My last “computer” was an Android tablet with a physical keyboard and trackball so I can’t really answer your second question.

As for the pros. Free, runs great on old used hardware, updates don’t really bugger the system, super easy on system resources, my used computer has 8 gb of ddr4 and that is plenty for my usage.

Con. Doesn’t play all video formats. When I first switched to Fedora 42 I tried for a week to get videos to play. Every “tutorial” and forum gave the same ineffective answer. Now I just copy any video to my old Android tablet and watch them that way. Please, no advise on this, I’m happy with my solution, thanks.

The legislation he passed tells me what I need to know.

Yes there is a wait list but I mentioned Slate because it’s the most private vehicle I know of. Did I miss the part where OP needs a car today?

Slate Auto if you are in the USA. https://www.slate.auto/en. Doesn’t even have Bluetooth on board.

Edit: From their FAQ

“Does it have Bluetooth?”

“With a Slate, you use your phone to wirelessly connect to your own portable speakers (like Bluetooth speakers) or accessory audio. If it works with your phone, it works in a Slate. There’s also an accessory steering wheel controller that lets you control the connected devices.”

A four part series on how to download all your emails using Thunderbird https://firewallsdontstopdragons.com/withdraw-your-data-email/

I heard SomeOrdinaryGamers say it yesterday on youtube.

Edit: Took me three tries to get the name right lol, I don’t usually watch his content.

I wonder what Mark thinks of the term “sloperating system”?

Yeah, that’s what The Borg said.

Enter the sloperating system.

LOL

Or use a 20 character alpha numeric unlock code. Now you only use the phone when you really need to.

Fleeing from the police, speeding through construction zones. Sounds like Waymos are trained on human data.

I’m not going to your blog without reading at least a paragraph here.
