I do this and I use Proton as my email provider. I think as long as you set the email security standards, which Proton, for example, teaches you how to do, you should be fine.

 

I highly suggest clicking the link to the cross post and reading it as those comments are super good.

How about switching to infrastructure where you have to push money to these companies instead of them pulling money from you? Use Monero.

Pretty certain my financial class was this is how to get a credit score which is completely the wrong thing to be teaching.

I cant get focus on github anymore like i was. That's the primary issue.

 

Title. I use Firefox Focus because it's easy to clear history by just hitting the Delete button and it saves very little to no information on app exit. I know the Duck Duck Go privacy browser does this as well, but it's more of a full-fledged browser with bookmarks and everything else. Where I'm just looking for something super lightweight and quick.

 

I just got an update from the Guardian project here recently for the Tor Browser version 13.5 on Android. Before, there always used to be a notification in the notification tray that would say the download and upload speed and have a new identity button to switch circuits if one was lagging. But I do not see that anymore. So how do I change circuits now without completely closing the browser and reopening it which would be a total pain in the ass?

Silicon Valley Bank was bailed out entirely by the FDIC. And so there were no liquidity issues. 2.9% of real people have been able to not access their money this time. That did not occur last time.

 

They are keeping this quiet, but this affects 2.9% of US bank customers.

I do not think most people would get this, but it is funny.

Go right ahead. If they actually manage to do it, that will be the end of my YouTube watching. Except on extremely rare occasions. I don't need it badly enough to deal with that.

It's really the only one worth using.

Monero is what Bitcoiners thought they bought. It's completely fungible and private just as cash is supposed to be.

I first heard about it in 2011, dismissed it as a scam that the government would have shut down and then two years later in 2013 in high school economics class my teacher read us a news article about Bitcoin and my first thought was "the government hasn't shut that down yet?". I then started to do my own research and realized what the hell I was missing and jumped in with both feet from 2014 until 2017 at which point I completely left cryptocurrency because of the fees and the block wars. I came back in 2022 and went to Monero and that's where I'm staying.
