isn't that the definition of, I don't know, a king?

No, mull is a fork of Firefox meant for android and developed by the divestOS team, while mullvad is a completely different fork, only for desktop atm and developed by mullvad (the VPN company)

they both focus on privacy and integrate Tor patches and modify some configs to better resist fingerprinting, but mullvad browser goes a step further with the tor integration, going as far as storing all data in RAM, so it deletes every cookie, history etc on restart. Could be an advantage, could be a disadvantage, up to you

they definitely do spy on their users and sell their data, but are very clever at marketing their items as fashionable and people fall for it

how about x.org lmao

what's the fun in modding if not the two hours where you think you've bricked everything and you're scrambling through a 52 page post on XDA trying to find someone with your same problem

wasn't that the whole point of capitalism anyways? /s

AirUp/Flavored water companies

If you want orange flavored water, squeeze an orange in your water, damn it! You don't need a subscription service for some chemicals that taste like orange

by run his own models he means locally running a text generation ai on his computer, because sending all that data to openai is a privacy nightmare, especially if you use it for sensitive stuff

had to dremel one of my laptop's (stripped) philip head screws to use a flat head screwdriver on it

it worked, somehow

Idk how it used to work, but i found what you wanted by sealing the seas

where did mh370 end up?

this is a certified Darwin award moment

PolyMC had some drama a while ago with a hostile takeover by a dev. The other original devs forked it and are now continuing the development at Prism launcher

edit: whoops! i made an error reading and didnt notice the two l's

there's just 2 ends tho, and you wouldn't cut spaghetti, right??

its come full circle now

if by all you mean the closed source ones where they probably don't even encrypt your passwords, sure

but open source ones (bitwarden) are really good and have a clear track record, you can even verify they encrypt everything by checking the source code.

If you wanna go ultra paranoid, however, you can also use something like keepassxc, where not only it gets encrypted, but it stays on your device.

bonus point: You were born at the age of 0 years

it's also particularly good for the nsa, reason why many people decide to block it (or at least minimize what it can do, since it can't be blocked anymore)

but why drop it?

be sure to get one of those metal/opaque ones specifically made for oil, as it degrades when exposed to sunlight (btw, that's why oil bottles are coloured and not transparent)

It won't make you sick of you dont, but exposure to light will get rid of its health benefits

they wouldn't be able to give info to the feds if it was encrypted

doesn't Anna's archive already include those two sources or is it incomplete?

Nice guide! However, I've always wondered if all of these even make sense. Like, can't you just stream from the internet? I understand having thing on your physical storage device is an extra degree of freedom but it's very rare for me watching something more then once. Also while you can technically run it off a Raspberry Pi, it's not really recommended and you would need a separate PC which just adds to the cost. Meanwhile, with a simple app like Cloudstream, you can just get whatever you want whenever you want. The only advantage I see of the *arr +media server approach is not needing to connect to a VPN.

EDIT: After reading the replys just realized I should have specified by streaming sites I mean the shady ones, in my country we use different words and I see how that can confuse some people

how did you set it up (like, what's the process a file would do to get downloaded)? this seems a bit more complex then the normal *arr stack setup

Can relate to the surrealism one, it gives me such strange vibes when I'm half waken up yet still dreaming

My guess would be that companies will probably go after the 99.9% of people that torrent on public trackers, while ignoring private ones since it's not worth it to go to all that trouble just to track the last 0.1%

on serious services wallets are encrypted using your master password, and unless you chose "password" you can be almost certain you won't get hacked even in case the company gets breached
