I care more about privacy and freedom.

So it is a minor inconvenience?

Also it would be an option to switch banks.

Meh, there are better phones that actually support an open source community.

Fairphone with e/os has been working pretty awesome for me.

Autogenerated subtitles are wrong, its actually ‘cutie’.

Where I live, you can sue if the camera films more than their own property.

Which is actually better because the chinese have no jurisdiction in the USA.

Still waiting for ANNO 1800 with all extensions to fall to the 5$ category. Until then, I’m enjoying me some ANNO 2070.

I always say: Its Windows, I have no clue how that might work.

Wake me when Gentoo is suddenly the hot new thing.

How do you know if something is encrypted?

Or for more practical implementations: https://blog.frost.kiwi/ssh-over-https-tunneling/ (granted, this one uses normal looking encryption to hide hide maybe unwanted encypted traffic) https://nurdletech.com/linux-notes/ssh/via-http.html

True. That is probably what the UK will settle on too.

What about China? There are VPN in China. They only try to block those that are used to act as if you are not from china.

Company VPN or university VPN are generally allowed.

You can probably block companies offering public VPN services.

But good luck blocking VPN in general.

I was once the first to report a bug in the kernel. I’m still pretty proud of it.

No. Not any more.

Edit: Sorry apparently you still need a number for the registration.

Jup. I made that conclusion too.

However one time two friends asked me about secure messengers and I reluctantly gave up that I used Signal. Since then everyone in my closer friend circle suddenly had Signal.

Or own your device with a custom rom.

Setup a VPN to your home router and use that when you are on a public wifi. That way all your traffic is fully encypted through the public wifi.

How are you even alive?!

Edit:

Yeah something like “Nun of yer business.” works well.

Never explain yourself to people who don’t want to hear the explanation.

For nicer people something like “Its probably boring to you.” can work well. If they insist they can’t complain. :D
