Nope, but OP mentioned in the post that they’re sketched off from their brother who’s in control of the home network

Oh, yeah you’re absolutely correct. I was fixated too much on the DNS logging lol

DoH (DNS over HTTPS) or DoT (DNS over TLS) would fix that

As others have mentioned, DNS is probably your worst enemy. It doesn’t take much technical knowledge to just create a DNS server and start logging all domains you’re accessing. Say, to tell mom how often you’re browsing porn or something.

Manually configuring DNS servers in your OS would resolve this issue, but also using VPN like mullivad would just bypass such worries with 99% certainty.

Or just keep using mobile data, because why not

The story does not tell us how Linus Torvalds responded to the NSA, but I’m guessing he told them he wouldn’t be able to inject backdoors even if he wanted to, since the source code is open, and all changes to it are reviewed by many independent people.

Yeah I’m guessing the answer would be more colorful based on the historical data we have

Neat, I wonder who I’ll be in tomorrow’s morning stand up meeting

Lol I do the #3 all the fucking time with Voyager app

Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will never run around and desert you.

Goddamnit

Holy shit this thing smells so bad. The announcement reads like “Nintendo’s legal team wrote this in exchange for 1 mill smaller settlement”

Great customer support lmao

It had some funny meme and your browser didn’t freeze after scrolling for 5 minutes. That’s already 1 point for 9gag

Edit: this was around 2015. No idea how 9gag looks like now

Turtle made it to the water

They’re lying about many things, such as their respect for privacy, right to repair, sustainability, what else. Oh they’ve lied about use of slave labor if I recall correctly

Anonymity is often prerequisite to privacy.

Tempmail.com and temp-mail.org are blocking tor users. Tested some other random service that works, but proton blocked their mail domains

I’m not talking about anonymity, even though it’s also implied. Proton claims to offer privacy in a similar fashion as Google, they protect your data from everyone but themselves and whichever party they “need” to share the data with.

Yes. It’s not really Proton’s fault, but definitely unattractive to a user/customer

“Criminals” such as climate activists?

You can’t create proton account anonymously very easily. If attempting to create account using for, you’re prompted to enter phone number or existing email iirc.

Edit: just tested, existing email is needed. This already tells they do not want people to create accounts in a privacy respecting way even if it’s somewhat trivial to bypass if you know how

Yes but that has nothing to do with the data being encrypted and Google not having access to it. Their whole business runs around them having too much access to user data.

And yeah before you say anything, yeah the data is probably encrypted at rest which means nothing in this case.
