I literally said the opposite. Please stop pinging me with your brain-dead bullshit. Thanks.


Ye mullvad uses their blocklists but does not provide the features mostly listed in the security tab. I still don’t get how dot and doh are relevant with phishing.


there is already many resources on the topic


Is it necessary, compared to the measures I mentioned above?

That product is trash but how is what you’re doing helping with phishing?


There isn’t much of a discussion because there are like 3 acceptable alternatives. Nord isn’t one of them btw.


The only purpose of vpns is to hide your ip address, which is already dynamic and is shared by many people or access location restricted content.



If they’re going to force me to use Windows or Mac, I’d much rather Windows than Mac. Piece of shit of an “operating system”.


Yep. Windows or Mac. Typical corporate IT spyware isn’t even available on Linux.


Why are there so many people using Linux for work. Are you using your personal machines for work? If so why? Or do your company allow installing whatever OS you want on the work machine?


People in the privacy community need to get over the unrealistic dream that regular people will adopt Matrix when we can’t even get them to use Signal. The only way Matrix will have mass adoption is through getting a lot of corporate clients. Then the workers might choose to use it personally too after being familiar with it.


I keep LinkedIn telling myself it’s necessary to find a job but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a job from LinkedIn, now that I think about it.


I nuked NixOS so can’t really test but doubt this is relevant. It was working before and Arch has the same issue.


Weirdly, anything after Proton 8 was not able to properly recreate the compatdata folder because of a bug in the script. I fixed the bug and get it to generate the prefix but the issue with the game not launching is still there.



Yes iPhones are secure but not private. The two are related but different concepts. I’m not sure what exactly your friend is referring to though.


Okay, will give it a try. We’re talking about SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/<gameid> right?


I have reinstalled the games. Does steam preserve compatdata if you uninstall a game?


EA games launched through Steam are borked
Ever since the issue with Apex not launching was fixed, I'm not able to play any EA games with Steam Proton. Apex, which doesn't launch through the EA app flickers immensely on Fullscreen and Borderless Window. Flicker goes away when windowed, but the GPU utilization regularly goes down for a few seconds, dropping the FPS. Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5: I get an EA app screen that says "Preparing Game" which exits after about 1 minute (I think steam is timing it out). Proton logs show some errors about not being able to load a few DLLs but research on the internet points to them not being relevant. I have tried on all combinations of below: - Hyprland, KDE, and Gnome. All Wayland. - NVIDIA 545 and 550 - Linux-zen 6.7 and 6.8 - Arch Linux and NixOS - Proton 7 through Proton Experimental as well as GE 9.1 and 9.2

I don’t get people claiming stock iPhone is private. We literally have very little idea. It’s a closed system. It’s private if you take Apple’s word but all the other manufacturers also have similar claims. Why trust Apple and not them?

On top of that you end up locked into their ecosystem, unable to use most FOSS applications or have cut down versions of them because daddy Apple didn’t like some features.


Do you need to externally encrypt the data or at least you the password field when syncing with syncthing? I mean, the traffic is encrypted already but still doesn’t feel right.
