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.

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.

Websites have been able to detect VPN usage for a long time.

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.

#11 Google can close the account and there isn’t really an appeal process.

I get this many times per day. I keep changing which vpn server I connect with.

I don’t think butthurt is the right phrase.

According to Websters: Butthurt describes being upset or offended—usually in a way that seems over-the-top, silly, or unwarranted.

I’m not interesting in a Linux phone but always on the lookout for another Youtuber to follow. Thanks for posting.

Too bad. The vast majority of the privacy community will continue calling it sideloading.
