I do ! I use NoScript in Firefox, and I allow scripts selectively when they’re needed. You’d be surprised how many websites just work with everything off !

This may differ depending on your usage, though. I don’t really use in-browser apps if at all possible, and I don’t use conventional social media aside from YouTube and Reddit (PeerTube and Lemmy are better but there’s still too much info / people on the corporate versions to fully switch over)

You have JavaScript enabled by default ?

Full disk encryption with a LVM inside a LUKS arrition is pretty easy to setup, arch wiki is very helpful for that ! You can even encrypt most of the bootloader, so the drive is 100% useless if stolen.

Genuinely good person : 99% Trust with my life : 10%

The main issue about the second thing is that I wouldn’t expect someone I barely know to risk their life for me. I don’t think this makes them bad people, though. I think it’s reasonable.

An insult to life itself.

My sympathies. I will be watching the responses, I’m 170cm and I’ve never broken past 55kg, no matter how hard I’ve tried… I’m vegan, but I had the same problem long before I went vegan.

My body seems intent on pinning my weight to this value. Even in periods of high sedentary lifestyle or high exercise, I’ve always been between 53 and 55 kilograms. My fitness watch does report other metrics improving (VO2 max) but my weight stays the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

Afaik, they were forced to log and report IP addresses for the user’s mail logins.

They can’t do that for their VPN, though, so I’ve seen some people recommend you create your account through another VPN or via their Onion service, and then only connect with the VPN on.

This seems fragile at best, and isn’t helped by the fact the most anonymous payment option they accept is cash by mail, which is still quite traceable. They also take bitcoin, which is extremely traceable.

If they expand to accept Monero, I’ll reconsider, but for now I’m sticking with Mullvad. I use mailbox.org for mail, which does log IP addresses (for 4 days), but it is a separate account from my VPN so I don’t really care.

I’m also put off by their recent posts supporting the Republican Party. It is really strange for a privacy company to support authoritarians, and the addition of them leaving Mastodon but staying on Xitter doesn’t inspire much confidence in them.

Thank you ! I’ll go check that out 🙂

I wish I could seed but Mullvad doesn’t allow port forwarding, and ProtonVPN has given out IPs under court order so I don’t trust them for any purpose.

I’ll have to look into other VPNs I think, because I’m ideologically very much for seeding.

The first Pride was a riot.

92% of my playtime is Minecraft, makes sense.

Games as a whole are getting better, but AAA is getting worse.

Corrected !

I only read 1984 once in French 11 years ago, so it’s a little fuzzy 😆

Literally 1984.

This is a textbook example of newspeak / doublethink, exactly how they use the word “corruption” to mean different things based on who it’s being applied to.

Seems like not heating at all may have been even more lucrative, though. Would the temperatures have dropped intolerably low if you did so ?

“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.

( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.

Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )
