decentralized armed restiance is what usually is called terrorist, this can hardly be called winning, this is litteraly what the taliban did basically.

also beeing hours away from the police in itself would be a probelm already and sure is not usual.

But even then it already is more likely that you hurt someone with the gun by accident than ever “defending” against any imaginary intruder, if you not live in some lawless wasteland. But then it suddenly is not a problem beeing hours away from any medical service, is it now

edit: But sure if someone lives in some remote place where it is likely that like wild animals attack a home it is different i guess,

still in the end i always ask myself what future i would want to look like, and it sure would not be a place where people have guns

people should not have guns, noone needs them and the places without guns all seem to do fine without them, while it can even be observed in the us curretnly how having guns does nothing to protect you from facism. Only a strong legal system does. In mexico it can even been seen what other the us guns law did to other countries.

guns dont offer safety, only escalte violence.it should be the contranband the police and border security should focus on, instead of a needless war on drugs.

some guy with a gun wont win against a state ever, The weapons are way to advanced. This could been seen in the middle east for the last decades when fighting “terrorists”, and even these were better equiped than anyone who just has a gun.

these gun people delude themself into thinking it would be safer for them if they had a gun, while they are fighting the danger they are themself creating

uhm no not really? I mean reproducible builds are used to cross verfiy that it is the same binary in this case, but like android has no mechanism to do that, this is not how it works.

that a build should be reproducible is more about your second point and doesnt really have anything to do with fdroid, as far as i know

Edit: these links should explain it all: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/21675-fdroid-security/2

i think the security issues are not about fake apps, but about fdroid signing the builds themself, while their build infrastrcuture is described as insecure

“Tor VPN is beta software. Do not rely on it for anything other than testing. It may leak information and should not be relied on for anything sensitive”

in case you did not read the disclaimer

For anyone who considers getting the tor vpn android app “Tor VPN is beta software. Do not rely on it for anything other than testing. It may leak information and should not be relied on for anything sensitive” (it is a disclaimer from their website)

Thank you for adding the created date column and making sweden green

what is up with this batshit insane post, i know this was written by some right wing facist, people like you are the reason it is like this

this is awkward i am sorry it seems like my memory failed me, for one it is was mullvad and obscura that have a deal, not nymvpn…

and then i also thought somehow that vpns are in sweden protected by the constitution, but it appears its more like normal laws. Which appear to be effective tho. But mainly i thought about that recently switzerland was proposing laws like this https://tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surveillance-plan (possible that laws like these get proposed in sweden aswell ofc) which makes it sound like the privacy stands of the goverment is not that strong anymore, but there are probably no effects really at the moment. I think i would rank sweden and switzerland equally i guess, i mean the famouse mullvad example kind of proofs that they are safe i think…

But like my research into the countries is not that deep, so if you really looked into this deeply and switzerland is really better for some reason, than i guess it is like this.

But i still think the age is important, like sure its completly possible that an old vpn suddenly gets infiltrated or idk what really, but since for vpns are mostly trust based, i think that the track record is the best option for this… and new vpns just dont have that long of a record (personally i would not use like a 1 month old vpn for example, whoever good it sounds)

or can nymvpn offer garantuees similar to tor?

the website is great really

And btw it seems like you can easily use it to “contact” all Eu represanatives for other matters aswell, it generates a list of the mail addresses of whoever (national or eu) you choose, optional everyone, and then you can copy it to your mail account and write them

It is not much but it feels good doing something, maybe one person might read it atleast

now that you say it like that, i think it is really like that, they always portray the privacy and cybersecurty people as just having an opinion on this…

I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category

and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that, considering this is nymvpns biggest flaw… still hard to say how trustworthy it is + their software is less battle tested

(and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad sry i mixed that up obscura and mullvad had partnership, not nymvpn)

well personally i dont think youtube premium is that bad, considering like it is not really that expensive (i mean compared to my time on youtube then, or like compared to the scam of having to pay for playing online on xbox), and the creators do get money from it

But like i stopped because i did not want to give google and youtube anymore money because the app had so many things that annoyed me, things that had to be bad on purpose, and like i dont want to pay someone that makes things shitty for me on purpose.

so blocking vpns generally is just another step for them in keeping making things worse j guess

delete your account and get always on mullvad vpn, reddit often blocked the vpn exit node, so you just can not use it then lol (but sometimes it works still)

I can not garantuee you anything, and it could be possible that things just changed in the last months. But i think until atleast around march i had been using youtube premium + mullvad without any problems. But the vpn was set to the country i live in… (i then switched to newpipe and no vpn for youtube)

if you get youtube premium it should work fine 😬

if they did not change it

on your phone, does it also not work in browser if you are logged in?

Like the fact that someone can get shot for offering to get their neighbour high, while companies can litteraly operate like crime syndicates with minimal repercussion

might be a cause for people thinking the law is just opression instead of a guideline that can be actually used

i too miss the alias service, and i dont really know an alternative aswell.

The issue is kinda, that any alias service is basically just forwarding your mails … so it is really hard to trust anyone with that

and a private domain is not really a solution, for privacy

and like tuta does offer 15 or 30 (but 30 is super expensive) permanent aliases… which is like nice but does fill up super quickly if used like how it is used for proton

I would recommend mullvad.

the ceo of proton did idicate support of the trump and the republican party and while they backtracked and apologized and all that, is it out that atleast some in the company think like that and i dont trust them anymore.

and trust is number 1 priority for vpn.

what i duckducked and its true lmao

… i read the guide posted https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started and finally figured out what the fediverse is… i always thought it was like another social media platform
