riseUp is slow. free vpn of Proton, depending on traffic and your exit, is a lot faster. Proton proved themselves to be trustable.
you can always upgrade to their paid service to have more options and servers, if you like. You can download your configurations to use your choice of addOn, app, software
mullVpn also is considerable, if you’re going to pay (i don’t use it but I’ve heard/read only + views
i use tor and orbot regularly. There, sadly, are too many sites that block them by default :/
‘The end of Schengen’: Germany’s new border controls put EU unity at risk ☞ https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/sep/10/the-end-of-schengen-germanys-new-border-controls-put-eu-unity-at-risk
copy paste from another comment under this post:
Megaphone (formerly Panoply Media) is a Software as a service (SaaS) business owned by Spotify. The company provides software for podcast hosting and monetization as well as an ad network to generate additional revenue for podcast publishers.
apparently they host their own content under a different name
Wikipedia confirms

i may hate ads but can 20k Hz exist without this ad money?
any podcast that’s hosted on megaphone has them
this, from vox, is one of the worst ☞ https://feeds.megaphone.fm/VMP9331026707
i love 20k hz but they have tooooo many ads ☞ https://feeds.megaphone.fm/20k ! megaphone again :/
ps: megaphone and simplecast block Orbot. They have to know where you are to choose their ads

PSA: We’ve received questions about push notifications. First: push notifications for Signal NEVER contain sensitive unencrypted data & do not reveal the contents of any Signal messages or calls–not to Apple, not to Google, not to anyone but you & the people you’re talking to.
In Signal, push notifications simply act as a ping that tells the app to wake up. They don’t reveal who sent the message or who is calling (not to Apple, Google, or anyone). Notifications are processed entirely on your device. This is different from many other apps.
What’s the background here? Currently, in order to enable push notifications on the dominant mobile operating systems (iOS and Android) those building and maintaining apps like Signal need to use services offered by Apple and Google.
Apple simply doesn’t let you do it another way. And Google, well you could (and we’ve tried), but the cost to battery life is devastating for performance, rendering this a false option if you want to build a usable, practical, dependable app for people all over the world.*
So, while we do not love Big Tech choke points and the control that a handful of companies wield over the tech ecosystem, we do everything we can to ensure that in spite of this dynamic, if you use Signal your privacy is preserved.
*(Note, if you are among the small number of people that run alt Android-based operating systems that don’t include Google libraries, we implement the battery-destroying push option, and hope you have ways to navigate.)
i know people who openly use torrents when they’re abroad. As long as you remember to turn it off before going back home, it’s not your IP that’s logged.
if it’s to hide what you’re downloading from Saudis, because they make patties from journalists or jail activists or behead hundreds of people every year, then maybe you should wait a month to get out to download them
there are decent note apps, like notally, that are smaller than 2mb 🤷

Framacarte repose sur un logiciel libre¹.

framasoft is an organization that’s proposing alternatives to google “services” ☞ https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/
what’s interesting about android is that you can tweak the device to your needs. You’re not limited to the only solution your os designers/developers invented.
don’t like the keyboard? install another one. You need a particular gesture or button? install it, modify it. change the launcher. change your app store
it’s your first week and you’re searching for all these solutions at the same time and it’s probably frustrating. Give it some time and you would find them.
convincing friends and family to use signal is a challenge even for android users. (majority uses WhatsApp :/

The “experimentation” of Algorithmic Video-Surveillance (AVS) within the framework set by the “Olympic Games” law passed last year by the French Parliament is not an experiment at all: it is nothing more than a hypocritical maneuver designed to legalize, through small steps, a police infrastructure already massively deployed in France. To counter this strategy, La Quadrature du Net is launching a campaign aimed at fueling popular opposition to AVS, a technology based on Artificial Intelligence that amounts to a constant, automated monitoring of public spaces and marks a historic turning point in state surveillance. A complaint has also been lodged with the French data protection authority, the CNIL, as a way of denouncing the hypocrisy of the AVS promoters and pointing out the negligence of the personal data protection authority.
La surveillance bâtit son empire
Les Jeux Olympiques vont nous laisser la surveillance de masse en héritage. En instrumentalisant cet évènement, le gouvernement a autorisé l’utilisation de la vidéosurveillance algorithmique (VSA) jusqu’en 2025 pour des situations qui dépassent largement le cadre cette compétition sportive. Ces logiciels, qui analysent les images de vidéosurveillance et envoient automatiquement des alertes à la police, sont déployés depuis des années en France en toute illégalité, sans que jamais les responsables n’aient été inquiétés. L’hypocrisie est donc totale. En légalisant quelques usages de VSA, l’État souhaite légitimer un état de fait et amorcer un projet de surveillance bien plus large de l’espace public.
no one commented about organicMaps 🤔
and alpiMaps for hiking
they’ve been around for some time now: https://www.reflectacles.com
Ghost uses a frame-applied material that reflects both infrared and visible light. In low light environments they will maintain your privacy on cameras using infrared for illumination and also block 3D infrared facial mapping during both day & night. The visible light reflection can make you anonymous in images/videos using a flash in low light.
and then you can anonymously chat with yourself because no one else will bother installing that favorite app of yours!
I’ve been trying to get people off WhatsApp for who knows how many years now. With Signal, i have a chance of convincing people. When you start talking about matrix or session or SimpleX or ???, people stay on WhatsApp
“anonymized” according to https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
mull: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 172,086 tested in the past 45 days.
firefox focus: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 172,099 tested in the past 45 days.
tor: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 86045.5 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
tor after enabling “request English versions of web pages for enhanced privacy”: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 57368.0 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
tor with safest security level: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 823.48 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
mull after changing android region to United States: Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 12294.86 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.
changing region doesn’t effect tor, as unlike mull it doesn’t leak system information
yes, it’s awkward for the “individual” who is longing for reliable expression
it also seems to be awkward for people who can’t figure out the changes in the language they think as their own. They are irritated by their “disfigured” reflection
it’s awkward for officials who need to make decisions (positive or negative) about the use of “inclusive” language
we give shape to languages and languages shape us
English could initially have neutral pronouns and people would be obliged to find other reasons to hate each other 🤷
