Sounds like the best option to me.

They’re not perfect, but they’re nothing like Gmail. What email provider do you suggest?

Ah, my bad, I’ll edit my comment.

Sounds like an avoidable problem, that Proton didn’t have a whole lot to fight it with. Obviously they could/should have fought it in court, but this could have been avoided if the individual simply didn’t link a recovery email and/or didn’t share the same email across Apple products + protesting. Although, the article does point out that if you sign up over Tor or a VPN it requires a verification email, which sucks- though you could just use a temporary email address to get around it. As CaptObvious pointed out (literally @CaptObvious@literature.cafe lmfao) the reporter pointed out Proton rejects temporary emails.

Key information:

The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual

individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement.

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

This case is particularly noteworthy because […] complex interplay between technology firms, user privacy, and law enforcement.

requests were made under the guise of anti-terrorism laws

primary activities of the Democratic Tsunami involving protests and roadblocks

Proton Mail’s compliance with these requests is bound by Swiss law

Comment from Proton:

We are aware of the Spanish terrorism case involving alleged threats to the King of Spain, but as a general rule we do not comment on specific cases. Proton has minimal user information, as illustrated by the fact that in this case data obtained from Apple was used to identify the terrorism suspect. Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper OpSec, such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method. Note, Proton does not require adding a recovery address as this information can in theory be turned over under Swiss court order, as terrorism is against the law in Switzerland.

That was PirateSoftware, and yes, but that was for Sony’s website not for the Steam page.

Still shit though.

Australia is on the way.

fix the homelessness problem or trans rights issues or the home heating problem or improve the looks of the cities or fix the wealth gap or fix NHS or lessen sexism or improve public schools or lower emissions or improve nuclear power or reduce coal or subsidise renewables or improve privacy or fix all the issues created by the UK government over the last 30 years or help fix problems caused by colonisation in ireland or do literally anything useful for once? nah, too expensive.

a £230,000,000 mass surveillance program akin to that of russia or the ccp? of course we can!

Musk is a cunt.

To add to this: if you take ibuprofen regularly, remember to eat before taking it. Taking it on an empty stomach a handful of times is completely fine, but if you do it too much can cause stomach ulcers (not insanely common as far as I’m aware though.).

Anyway, this person is right, take some ibuprofen and rest.

I’m using Firefox + uBlock Origin and don’t have a paywall.

What adblocker are you using? It doesn’t appear for me.

a honeypot is a service run by feds pretending to be private or something criminals could use and then storing the data and using it to prosecute the criminals later on after farming a bunch of data

here’s an example of a huge honeypot

Couple friends and I started a Minecraft Realm again, so I’ve been playing that a lot. Though we’ve been thinking of switching to a traditional server so we can use mods to slow down progression (please let me know if you know of any good ones).

Also got into The Finals. I’m dogshit, but I love it.

• Facebook, threads on top teir
• Posts to Lemmy, but doesn’t include lemmy on the teirlist
• No Mastodon or similar Twitter alternatives despite posting on an AP app.

Isn’t this an anti-ddos page? Happens all the time at my school because we’re 3000 people using one connection.

yeah fuck crowder

imo it’s fine if its something like sub for sub on youtube, or follow for follow on twitch, where you’re manipulating an algorithm, but with reviews it’s misleading people and not okay.

Depends where you live. MoreMins lets you buy a virtual phone number for about €4/mo if I remember right, which is wayy cheaper than anything physical you can get anything here in Australia.

Yes. Most modern phones are dual-sim. New Google Pixels, new iPhones, All Xiaomis afaik.

You can give them phone number A and then completely disable that sim out of work hours.

Edit: also you can have “virtual” phone numbers that you just use inside an app on your phone, but they don’t do as much as a normal mobile number so I personally wouldn’t take my chances.

WayDroid with WhatsApp installed seems most sensible to me, assuming WhatsApp lets you use multiple android devices on one account.

Edit: This doesn’t work.
