I rudely agree with your opinion

Let the Zucc feel the heat

Oh I get it now, for me that’s not a problem since I’m also in the EU, but I can see why it’s an issue, I do have a VPN too, but barely use it

I see.

tor has geo location issues.

Could you explain what you mean with this? I’m not sure I understand

mullvad for looking shit up on ecommerce sites with new ID each time

Is it sufficient? I’d always assumed it was easily targetable with the IP so I started using TOR for that purpose

The tool presents a significant privacy risk, and shows that people may not be as anonymous in the YouTube comments sections as they may think.

I don’t understand how this makes the privacy on YouTube any worse when all the information it sources from is already public, this is just automated doxxing, which, while we’ll agree to be unethical, was never a privacy violation, it is just the consequence of the actions of who posted the information to begin with.
Also does it really violate YouTube’s privacy policy? It’s new to me that service consumers can be subject to the policy when it’s not the third parties that YouTube actively sends the information to, that sounds more to me like Terms of service, which are hardly enforceable fully (thank goodness, so we can have our yt-dlp and PipePipe)

That’s different, it’s technically possible not to comply with that statement because the location data is sent and stored, it takes just not deleting it to violate that, it just evaluates to a pinky promise that has to be verified by inspecting their systems.
This, on the other hand, is a technically verifiable claim, the code is open and it all runs locally on the same machine, the TEE will give the green light and that’s how apps will accept your biometric verification, the only thing that might be suspicious is with the implementation of the TEE, I don’t know if every manufacturer keeps the data it gets on the device or secretly communicates outside, this unknown is also a good reason to use a Google Pixel device if you care about that

Google Pixel phones use a TEE OS called Trusty which is open source, unlike many other phones.

From the Privacy Guides Mobile phones page

I’m all for not giving more data points where it’s not needed, but is this as bad it seems? All biometric data remains stored on the device, it isn’t sent to Google, or any app for that matter, that’s how the API works

Man, it can only be frost to finally quench a withered human’s thirst in this scorching hot 😤

Ikr, it’s silly to be locked out like that

Very based standard Linux usage 😌

behind the scenes at Hoyo headquarters they have steamdecks laying around

Lmao that’s actually neat, do you have a link to the video?

I had the same happen to me with addy.io, I’ve used that for years on the game but at some point a few months ago I just couldn’t log in on new devices, same “too many requets” error for me.
In my case I opened a ticket as well and they were very responsive, they told me that I was encouraged (but not obligated, apparently) to change my email address to a different domain, I wanted to be on the safe side and created a purpose made secondary proton mail address, haven’t had any issues since with that, but it sucks that aliasing services are getting blocked

Open the sidebar, tap the top right three dot menu, tap Add Account

Proton explicitly enabled keeping 2 free accounts on the mobile apps quite some time ago, probably more than a year, so they’re cool with you having 2 like that.

If you get more, you’ll be hampered at the application level, but, unless it’s like a load of accounts for spam purposes, having just a handful shouldn’t get you banned, I believe

For the most surface level concerns like risking them accessing any app on your phone, you can enable app lock on those that support it. Usually the most sensitive do: WhatsApp, Signal, banking apps and others.
If they don’t, take advantage of the private space which locks apps until you unlock, and you can relock whenever you want

Oh so that’s how they do it, has to go to the list of things that give you feelings of power

Like the actual string?
