The VPN Provider is Netguard itself, locally on your device.

I also add: don’t talk to the cops. They are there to look for anything to incriminate you

I use Molly, a fork of Signal in order to use nfty push notifications

Not true. I2P actively tries to mask the traffic

That’s exactly the reasoning I did for choosing a VPN. I know that VPNs are falsely advertised as “anonymous black magic” but better Proton or Mullvad than my ISP which definitely sells data to advertisers

But Apple does and sees all the transactions so I don’t know whether it’s better privacy wise

Telegram is not a privacy respecting app regardless of what country tries to ban it, wether you like it or not

That’s so great! Can I just recommend Firefox over Chromium? Perhaps privacy-wise is similar, but at least you send your User Agent to website as “firefox” which tells the websites to still make them compatible

You are absolutely right. Not doing anything is playing their game.

I’m so done

My bank used to not let me type one longer than six (6) characters!

Yup. Nobody denies you from forking Chromium and maintaining an updated version with MV2, but good luck doing that

Chromium is open source but not free (as in freedom). In fact, it is developed by Google and only Google has the power to accept or refuse a PR.

As an example: Manifest V2 is going to be discontinued in favor of V3 on Chromium (and consequently Chrome) despite the outrage of the users and developers.

Switch to Firefox.

What proprietary software does Signal have?

Like this!

Man I am on your side. I love privacy and security. I can’t stand “for the kids” rhetoric. I wouldn’t be using Lemmy otherwise. But The limit to 5k€ per transaction is really useful, has already damaged mafia, and prevents big chunks of money to go untraced, leaving room for privacy for regular people. In an ideal world I would be against such action, but I do believe this is the best thing to do when 10% of your GDP is produced illegally.

I also want to apologize for my previous message which could have been interpreted as passive aggressive, it was not intended as such.

If banks and shops don’t accept and give paper money to randoms, bad people have a more difficult life.

It is not only bombs and guns, it’s an intricated system of black market, black job that Redditors from other countries have no idea about 👍

I’m all for privacy and I’d use Monero all the time, but this kind of regulations heavily damaged the mafia so tbh let’s go for it. I’m not gonna spend 3k per transaction regardless

First of all, you can operate a fully FOSS firmware on your cameras: see OpenIPC (it needs some soldering tho). Second, you can try Frigate or ZoneMinder as NVR.

What do Zigbee and Swave do better than others? Btw Tasmota is cool too
