Thanks ChatGPT.

Accept crypto, ideally Monero among others, who would want that tied to their identity?

Bitcoin is slow as well, unusable for payments. I still think Bitcoin is better than fiat because at least it doesn't require an ID to make a wallet and it's self custody.

Monero is the best crypto we have for currencies, though. And currency is the only value I see in crypto.

Google is the only one supporting them currently.

Brave is as good results as Kagi for me and more anonymity-focused, because your searches aren't tied to an account, but I like that Kagi has a simple business model. I would pay for either if I could pay 3 dollars or less per month with Monero.

It's not a ROM it's an OS.

Doesn't throw any balls for me.

Perhaps not anymore [1] and they have usernames as well.

It's Roblox's responsibility to police their platform and the vast majority of bad actors use mainstream operating systems and mainstream services like Discord or Telegram. Clearly lack of privacy does not prevent crime as we can see on Telegram and Discord which are both not E2EE and yet have far more crime taking place then on encrypted alternatives.

They've doubled their users in 2 years

Apple is very much like WhatsApp. Yes you cant perfectly trust their E2EE against state actors, but both in fact put some effort into making world have little bit more privacy.

They probably use E2EE just so they don't have to respond to court orders and such.

I don't think what happened with Proton was controversial.

Mullvad, IVPN and Proton VPN are all trusted so choosing depends on your priorities with the small differences between them.

Obscura by definition is the same or better than Mullvad because of the multi-party relay. Similar with iCloud Private Relay but that's only for Safari which is inadequate.

Nym looks promising but mixnets haven't been tested as much as the Tor network.

Not audited. IVPN is what I would use if I didn't use Mullvad.

Can't really trust the AHA whose guidelines promoted ultra-processed sugar-filled food.

Actually effective way to protect kids without massive societal consequences and it also improves learning.

Success!

Complaining about downvotes gets you downvoted, for one.

Correct and you shouldn't use any health apps that don't take your privacy seriously.

Here are privacy respecting ones: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/health-and-wellness/#menstr...

Not very effective: https://fmhy.net/video#live-sports

Brave is the best balance of privacy, security, and usability. I recommend it.

Not bad, 135 WPM.

I appreciate Cloudflare for keeping all the piracy sites running, though.

I blame them for collecting the phone numbers. They can already make sure you're running an apple account on real hardware. If they didn't collect phone numbers, they couldn't give them away, that's how all good privacy respecting companies like Signal operate.

Flock has a large amount of popular stories here, there's no conspiracy.

Your comment isn't super clear to me, let me know if I misunderstood anything.

Yes there are still identifiers when using cellular data service, but they aren't connected to your phone number that you give out. Phone number gets a determined threat actor real time location, which is what I explained. Threat actor gets location from any carrier identifier. Cellular was built in a terrible way for privacy and security.

Android doesn't let apps see hardware identifiers if that's related.

Yes you're correct about having to trust Apple, but my point is that the way Apple is collecting all this extra info allows them to be compelled to hand it over. It's not about trusting Apple, it's about them following the law, which they will do.
