Everything has a fuse connecting it to power. The problem is, what else shuts off if the spyware is disconnected?

My laptop also runs a 3rd party OS that doesn’t connect to the manufacturer.

I thought Gimp was a kink thing.

You mean the messenger that requires you give them your phone number to make an account? Yeah, fuck that.

It’s common in Russia. It’s common a lot of places, but it’s common in Russia

But yeah, I’ve used that and the inverse depending on the context plenty of time.

Tuta is a direct competitor to Proton. They would get more flak for excluding it then including it. Better to have it in and let people discuss Proton’s issues in the comments.

And doesn’t ship PinePhone Pro motherboards to the US at all.

I didn’t get into details because it wasn’t important, but they’re always be someone going “wELL AKTsHUally”. I already own a PinePhone, but it died. The easiest solution would be to get a new MB and swap it in.

I’ll have to try it the next time I have time, but I’m also trying to switch to a real linux phone. Right now, I have to wait for a friend to travel to the EU to be there while Pine64 has what I’m looking for in stock.

If you’re that vulnerable to shady URLs, you may want to rework your blockers or even spin up a VM. If you’re that venerable you phishing, just don’t give them your numbers.

um.si is for University of Maribor in Maribor, Slovenia. It looks legit.

Degrading minds are very trustful. It’s why telemarketers target retirement homes.

Don’t use either. Until Trump, I still considered CCP spyware more dangerous because they would be collecting info that could be used to blackmail US politicians and businesses. Now, it’s a coin flip. In either case, use EU or FOSS apps whenever possible.

I think the scariest thing going forward isn’t some alphabet agency finding your anti-social messages. It’s some shitbox algorithm having a false positive and deicing you’re a threat to the regime.
