There was a recent post on Reddit that a person was relying on Duress PIN, and when forced to unlock a device, he used the said duress PIN instead, to his amusement the phone quietly unlocked itself and was happily inspected by the authorities.
I am curious if anyone tested that feature in a real life scenario

Well, would they stand out to the next node but not to all Intermediaries, right, including the website they are visiting?

The article is clipped. Is there a non-paywalled version

Google it

There is an interview with the founder on one of the Privacy podcasts. You can form your opinion. My opinion - yes, they are trustworthy and you can do with them anything that you can with any Linux box, alternatively flash a clean OpenWRT for extra paranoia

I’m not your buddy, bro

look on XDA developers forum for your model. They usually have plenty of alternative ROMs

Using Soundcore with their app and internet access denied. Set up once, deleted the app

How did they find out???
Alias description? Inbox headers?

Pro tip #2.
Any time they have your stuff - they will use it (sell it) sooner or later. Zero knowledge is the answer

Not sure about “designed”, maybe evolved to be that way but not designed

If the streaming apps will be deteriorated the only option left will be yt-dlp and mpv left

I don’t see on the provided screenshot any apps that shouldn’t have the mic access. You can certainly deny it and break some apps functionality but you’ll be “safe from ads”

Even more important question we all need to answer is what’s the difference between Iceraven and Waterfox. Could not find it anywhere

Yeah, not sure. Never used SoundCloud personally

No, that’s Techlore

You can subscribe to his podcast - it’s completely free. It’s called “Privacy, Security and OSINT show”

Piped remotely, FreeTube+mpv at home, NewPipe on mobile just to download audio

If you proxy video hrough Invidious - Youtube won’t get your IP

Nice one, a hacker hacked TempleOS

Not you

Which OS did you use? Linux or MacOS?

Will Google ask me to solve a captcha while connected to a Google VPN?

I think OP meant the app store, not the client itself

Geometric Weather has a more active fork called Breezy Weather.
Quillnote has a more active fork called Quillpad

You are lucky to have multiple wives.😉

privacy.com ask for picture of ID to sign up

Oh yeah, I was replying to a post that mentioned privacy.com - that is who, I meant, asked me for my ID to be able to sign up for their service

I tried to sign up but they required my picture holding my ID. Even my bank doesn’t require that. I was not OK with that obviously.

To me it is just shifting trust from 1 entity to another like VPNs
