monero does not, but it’s users do manually. at least not too long ago it was recommended in the community

but we do use self custody wallets, which is actually a good thing. and we do churn, because the anonymity set of the sender (right?) is pretty limited as of now. and churning is almost like mixing between wallets.

what did Monero do to prevent it?

not everybody can install custom roms, either for compatibility, app selfblocking, or tech literacy reasons, or that they can’t afford to tuse a possibly unstable system (stability often varies by device and update)

serverside checks neither on federated services, or anywhere where the user chooses their server

for a privacy oriented phone you don’t need a very specific security chip that only a single pije of phones have. that’s maximalism.

Fairphone can do that too

and don’t forget that using encrypted messaging services is likely to be illegal soon in the EU

not everyone has nudes on their phones, not everyone will get to know that they are leaked, and afaik google hasn’t even leaked user images ever.

they. won’t. notice. it. they wouldn’t notice even if they were subjected to personalized pricing.

maybe flagship phones are different, but I don’t think I ever had such a device in my hands. I regularly help people with affordable phones, and as far as I can tell each had them preinstalled

you still have to trust them that they don’t save the plaintext email somewhere else before they run tbeir encryption.

and that’s what I do. I trust that they are doing it. what better can I do? the other option is to use a provider that 100% is not doing that, which does not seem to be better. or hosting it for myself, which maybe a small minority of people are capable to do it

Where does this come from? An ultra conservative tabloid?

umm, no, I haven’t read it anywhere. It’s just how it is. why do you think this is not the case?

are you immediately imagining me as a russian tankie?

Basically what the ECR and the Patriots say, which is amusing because they are the authoritarian ones, including some big fan of Putin, MAGA, and Hitler. When you think about it, it’s not surprising that an “healthy dose of sovereignty” goes side by side with far-right ideas.

well their dose is not healthy

what is becoming a political block that could eventually compete with the USA, China, and that could stop the imperialism of Russia.

as I see this would either need voluntary high cooperation of most countries, which would be a good thing (but not in the sense of imposing my country’s laws on your country because your country hosts servers of interest), but something very hard to achieve because that would need to be maintained for multiple political parties when they are elected.
or a united states of europe that would basically replace each country’s political system with a top-down system as the other user said, where there are no local elections for the ruling party anymore, or much less meaningful, but only an EU-wide election. which I’m not sure if it’s bad, it’s certainly a lot different. but it’s not something I like that after that, moving to another EU country is not an option if what you want is to leave a bad legal regime.

you know, maybe I have these main problems with the eu cloud act:

• 10 days is way too little time for appeal, especially when there’s a high volume of requests (a single country could overload their capacity)
• you won’t get to know if a country has held the gun to your email or other provider to hand over your data. yes this is the case already, but this change makes it even worse.
• if a country bans encryption, does that mean my online service providers have to ban me from the encrypted functions?

how exactly do you think they’ll notice that it backfires?

What you propose is an alliance where countries maintain their differences, essentially the dissolution of the EU and the return to the Europe of the early 1900.

to the 1900? what? do you think that currently the EU is one big country with no major differences?

the EU consists of several different communities, with different cultures and different thinking. I think each country should be able to keep its healthy dose of sovereignty. I’m not saying what we have today is ideal, but turning everything to be more authoritarian is not going to make anything better.

nobody needs to install it nowadays, because it comes preinstalled on all phones. and lots of people just mindlessly allow every kind of permission

and what can they apply that limit to, if not to all tor visitors? It’s not like they can distinguish them.

to me it’s not that they market their security, I think it’s still meaningful. if they actually dont keep unencrypted messages, that rids them of the need to hand over past data when police comes knocking. but the way they do discounts, the way they publish prices on the pricing page, and things like that that make me question whether do I really want to recommend this to others.

OP said they are blocking tor users. I say the error message might just be legit and someone is spamming username existence checks through Tor.

you might want to also know that a considerable number of users block lemmy.ml content, because that instance has… interesting political ideas. I don’t have numbers though.

are you sure? I thought that it is just developed by former amdocs employees, started after they left

who is pushing against it? the pirate party did not get any seats in the EU parliament this round

you are saying that as if all (or any) of those would have started to be a problem just in the last 12 hours…

and this is not about “online treats”, but online threats. It’s not just netflix, amazon and other silly unnecessary things, it’s everything, including every forum where people can organize and discuss things, fucking youtube with their tons of knowledge based content, …

but sure! we have 4 other problems, count climate change too, that’s 5, we really should just ignore this one because it’s literally meaningless!

on the receiving end. Syncthing cant act to keep a version before you delete a file locally, but it can move a remotely deleted file to the version control instead of deleting it

Syncthing is fine and secure, but be absolutely sure you set up some kind of file versioning for the shared folder. at least a trashcan versioning, if not better. protects you against accidental deletion

which model? it says gpt 4o mini can do web search

not bad faith, but overriding your selected search engine is just plainly very fucked up for firefox to do.

and this it not only on mobile. I had the same experience on desktop some time ago.

another person here also highlighted that mullvad can already do btc + monero + traditional money, so I guess maybe it could just work that way.

interesting though, that mullvad had that for many years now, didn’t it? and this podcast is not old. why did Andy say what he said?

tbh I didn’t read the petition page until now because I didn’t expect an official source, but this is going to be interesting

I don’t think it’s that easy. the CEO Andy Yen talked about this briefly in this podcast, it boils down to financial auditors not liking cryptocurrencies. he said even just by accepting bitcoin most of the auditors won’t agree to audit their company, all the while they are legally required to have regular audits

their point is not the custom domain usage, who cares about that, for that you need a domain to begin with and its not that common to have a personal one. but that you can’t set up automatic forwarding without continuously paying. that makes switching considerably harder for the everyday people.

using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

don’t forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

• Meta App Installer
• Meta App Manager
• Meta Services

you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
App Manager or similar tools will also show them.

Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

there is a blocklist with a name like block outsider intrusion to lan, but it’s off by default

antiviruses are a scam. they were never flagging actual spyware as such

honestly thats why I don’t like signal and simplex for people who send lots of images. something server-based is much more suitable for them, like Matrix. that is, if their apps were more stable. there’s also the security about metadata, but for most people that’s probably not a huge concern

Telegram does that? how? you need a phone number, so essentially a smartphone too. or is it common in your community to use feature phones, so that the problem is no registration on PC?

I use it too in a VM, but this doesn’t support being installed on routers, right?

We left out fully distributed FOSS that doesn’t have any fixed location - maybe we’ll update it some time with a box for that.

maybe you could show the jurisdiction of the devs for them, when known. for legal reasons that can affect development decisions

well, they do. unlike cryptobros, for some its not a form of invesrment gambling. but I hope most of them don’t write crypto with a capital C.

yet you still don’t fully own it.

and it even spies on you for commercial data mining and whatever other reasons!

but what I said is not only a concern with the dealer’s repair shop, see my other response to their comment
