I have Linus blocked in my frontend and have no interest in unblocking.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

Not a customer but am planning on moving to JMPChat. Like Google Fi, it’s a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) service so coverage should be the same as Fi.

A data plan is available which will connect with cell towers but the company claims your location will always be obscured. I can’t say how that is done. I use another voip service called voip.ms and just leave my phone in airplane mode unless I need to use my data plan. Encase you are wondering about voip.ms, there is no privacy with that service.

Can be purchased without any PII (personally identifiable information) and they accept crypto.

I want a law banning political parties from collecting data on citizens. In Canada, the parties gave themselves a way to get around our privacy laws.

Another reason I’m glad I don’t live there.

I’ve never asked them because I don’t care why they don’t care.

They know I am willing to help if they decide to start caring.

I’ve never provided a selfie and I never will. When it’s demanded, I find another service.

The last time I selfie was demanded was when I attempted to sign up for an online bank, Simplii Financial. SF wanted a selfie and my ID. SF used to have a physical locations one could go to for opening an account. Now it’s all online.

If my bank locked me out that often due to my phone OS, I’d switch banks. Sorry I can’t help.

I thought it stopped development a couple years ago on android.

Thanks.

Dad is the type to nag nag nag until we either give in or tell him off. Lecturing doesn’t work in my family because of my dad. They know I’m willing to help if they want to change.

I’m using Syncthing-Fork on Android and Syncthing on Linux. Works very well.

Why did you post your blocklist and expect people to read it? What you now have is very reasonable.

To answer your question: I’m here for privacy related issues. Your post is about minimalism which I have no interest in so I’m done with this thread. Best of luck.

No way am I reading the booklet you posted.

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks very much.

I installed Freetube again and it’s working without making any changes. Looks like a different Invidious instance is set as default.

I was using whatever api Freetube comes with. Do you have a recommended of one that works?

If I didn’t torrent, I likely wouldn’t use a vpn. With https sites, my isp can’t really see what I’m up to and my ip is never my actual location.

I can’t get Freetube to work so I’ve been downloading youtube videos with PipePipe on my phone and watching them on my laptop. No way could I do this without a vpn.

Using Proton right now, it’s ok (kind of lacking some features on Linux). Planning on switching to Mullvad before next summer.

This just in, Ring’s CEO admits to being a complete idiot. Look at the cameras in the UK. Mass surveillance does not stop crime.

I’m curious if that user follows a sub for his home town. Could be the recommendation is just a popular spot in that city.
