Privacy is me knowing you are in the bathroom, but not knowing what you are doing. (For example, I know you are using Linux, but I don’t know what you are doing on it)
Anonymity is like wearing a mask. I know you are robbing a store, but I don’t know who you are (Tor works like this)
You might have a DNS leak. Go to dnsleaktest(.) com to check
If you do, head over to NextDNS.io and set it up. Once that is done, run the test again to make sure it is fixed
Privacy ≠ anonymity
Honestly, Tails isn’t great for everyday use because it’s an amnesic, single use system. Plus, if you’re actually hiding from the cops, you shouldn’t be reusing that device anyway
If you just want everyday privacy, any solid Linux distribution will do the trick. Just make sure to ditch Google and Microsoft services
Donald Trump is the most American thing ever. Calling him a foreign asset requires mental gymnastics and a willful ignorance of the last 10, 50…no, hell 100 years of what the United States has done around the world
He represents the values of the American nation because they voted for him
How much more pain can the US economy really withstand? I keep hearing about the mismanagement and how costly their mistakes have been (the Iran war, overspending on AI compared to China, the US debt, etc.)
I keep hearing over and over that they are messing up, but when will their economy actually collapse? This might sound ignorant I’m sorry. I genuinely don’t understand how they are still alive
My brother in Christ people aren’t meant to agree all the time. This ain’t Reddit… there’s no default ideology here. If you hate how someone thinks… just walk away
Man, I love decentralisation
Keep in mind that the people against AI are usually very vocal about it, while the ones who use it stay quiet
Because of that, it’s easy to get the wrong impression about how most people actually feel
If your sense of right and wrong depends on a map or a label, then I don’t think you have principles… you just have a tribe
I was afraid Proton would eventually go down the far right route… and it seems like my fears came true
Paranoia changes you I guess (I have started using GrapheneOS and Qubes OS because I don’t trust Amerikkka)
US Latines are the worst lol. They’ll discriminate against Latin Americans and then brag about getting paid more while being subservient to white people. They’re professional bootlickers
The North America stat is fine if you’re only talking about the US and Canada… but since they left Mexico out it’s not really accurate
Oh please. If you were truly anti authoritarian you’d recognize that a state enforcing the will of one group over another is authoritarianism, but when it’s a side you like, you don’t call it that
And Russia is often not considered European simply because it’s fighting the West for resources… for the exact same reason Latin America is excluded from the ‘‘West’’ despite its culture
“What are we? A bunch of Asians?”
Then what you can do right now is simply change your search engine to DuckDuckGo and use any Linux distro of your liking
Privacy concerns stem from knowing where your data is going and distrusting the receiver. Do not push yourself too hard. It is a long road ahead to fully understand how data and people work
