If I had a phone set up like that, and, say, ICE or TSA took it, what would they be able to get from it? And I know that legally they can't make you give up your PIN, but what's to keep them from just beating it out of you? Cops of any stripe rarely if ever face consequences for their actions, especially in the US.

Any opinions on infomaniak? (www.infomaniak.com)

They have several apps on F-Droid, which is usually a good sign . . .

EDIT: But try to sign up and they want your name, address, and phone number. Forget it!

I've had this for quite a while, before switching back to Proton from tuta. Proton of course has aliases, which would make Relay redundant, but Relay also gives you a phone mask which is very helpful to have and Proton doesn't yet offer this.

Think this is because I just updated fonts-noto-color-emoji?

Well, in any event, this is an outrage I shall not stand for! πŸ˜‰

EDIT: Well, this is what happens when you aim for Vietnamization, I guess. 🀷

EDIT EDIT: Using the menu editor on Linux Mint Cinnamon, you can usually edit the comments for an app by clicking on its preferences, and ironically I was doing that to mark the apps that are US-based with the flag as a reminder to find alternatives to them!

Because it's kind of hard! Even if I follow their instructions. Maybe I'm just dumb . . . πŸ™

Tor is off the table for me because it's so slow. If you can point to some test sites or documentation that supports your choice, please include!

Especially for the less tech-savvy among us?

It would be nice if I could get SMS 2FA-type notifcations on my desktop without having to use my phone.

I probably wouldn't use Signal with it, since Beeper's own page seems to suggest that sending Signal messages with it would be less secure! And, I guess, SMS isn't secure to begin with . . .

If I download and install Element, and then look at the SMS bridges available on Matrix's website, the recommended bridge instructions sends me over to Beeper, since I don't have my own server. Old and confused here . . .

Probably should be taken with several very large grains of salt, but the article did just get yanked off of Daily Beast's website...

πŸ™ Crap, didn't see that part.

EDIT: Also, another thing I hate about most sites that sell ebooks is that they're rarely explicit about what their file formats are.

For another view on installing antivirus software on Linux, see this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/security.html?m=1#ID1.1

πŸ™Please don't say that.

[-] zdhzm2pgp@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

I had a feeling that that was the case . . .

AFAICT, it looks like all he's doing is praising πŸ„'s pick for AG in the Antitrust division . . . although if you look over her Wikipedia page, you're right, it doesn't look all that encouraging.

Can someone on Mastodon ask the Proton CEO what it was exactly that she did that he likes so much? Anyone who can work at Fox for any length of time, frankly, is complete and utter shite.

EDIT: Also, just as a broken clock can be right twice a day, πŸ„ sank the Trans Pacific Partnership, which was the right thing to do, but for the wrong reason: mainly to get back at Obama for existing. So in the same way, I suppose it's possible that Slater did something good, but I'd sure like to know what it was.

You could look at infomaniak, but I didn't have the best experience trying out (or even getting started with) their services. Finding a provider that has all of Proton's apps is going to be tough (or at least it was from me while I was looking to escape from Tuta). Good luck, tho.

EDIT: Infomaniak is on F-Droid!

EDIT EDIT: Infomaniak is only available in Europe! Infomaniak is only available with a European phone number, so using a VPN won't help! πŸ™πŸ‘Ž

That's the Spectre. "He's more powerful than God," I always used to say.
