Some live ISOs like TailsOS do allow persistent storage without installation, which was (probably?) what they were trying to ask.

Probably. I can send over the files for that song if you don’t have access to a computer right now :)

Reply to edit: Ah well

You may need to switch between the NA and EU servers of Qobuz. The NA server works perfectly fine for me right now:

Use bridges? I don’t think it would be possible to block WebTunnel for example.

The only 2 problems here are the battery acid cans and Spotify.

I don’t have that issue 😅

I think that reply is satire as they also say “then mercilessly deconstruct it”.

I am also very curious about this. Why do we have 3 196s?

Yeah, those great christian values… Here are some lists for those christian values if anyone wants to act accordingly to them:

Well I have maladaptive daydreaming and I think that would be mostly enough to keep me sane for a little bit.

What makes you say that? Any e-mail provider can intercept and read any e-mail they want to. This explanation by cock.li is pretty good on this issue:

How can I trust you? You can’t. Cock.li doesn’t read or scan your e-mail content in any way, but it’s possible for any e-mail provider to read your e-mail, so you’ll just have to take our word for it. No “encrypted e-mail” provider is preventing this: even if they encrypt incoming mail before storing it, the provider still receives the e-mail in plaintext first, meaning you’re only protected if you assume no one was reading or copying the e-mail as it came in. When possible, you should use X.509 or GPG with your mail correspondents to encrypt your message content and prevent it from ever being handled in plaintext on our servers. You should also download and delete your mail from our servers regularly, which alone is almost as good as encrypting your mail.

I don’t think there are any services that can compare to YouTube in any way.

Technically, yes, most sites won’t have such sophisticated logic. But any Google, Microsoft, or Meta service you use most definitely will.

I really liked CreepJS’s “Visits” feature where it would show a counter for how many people have visited with exactly the same browser fingerprint (which would usually be 1 unless you were using Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser), but they seem to have removed it for some reason along with “Lies” and “Trust Score”. You can still check it out here though to see just how much identifying information even a simple hobby project can gather in less than a second.

It still does, but they did add a username system so you don’t need someone’s phone number to contact them.

The lack of PFS and 256bit encryption in Session is a little concerning, and one other advantage of SimpleX is that it has no unique identifiers at all while Session uses random IDs and Signal requires a phone number.

Please don’t use Linux Mint with KDE, it will just make both seem much worse than they are. Cinnamon is very customizable. I don’t know what the OP means by “layout”, but if they’re talking about the taskbar that can be customized too.

I would also use Signal instead, but Session’s situation is not that bad unless one needs to accommodate the CIA or Mossad as part of their threat model, in which case I think SimpleX would be a better option. This is also in the article you posted:

Edit: I didn’t notice that the original commenter had said they “switched from Signal” at first, which is definitely worse.

Try a different VPN server if you get the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error. If you’re using Mullvad VPN, the Netherlands Amsterdam 203 server should work.

That likely makes you easier to track. User agents don’t really matter all that much if an advanced tracking script is used. When your IP address is the same, your browser engine is the same, your canvas data stays the same, your window size stays the same, your operating system stays the same, then they will just know that you also use an extension that makes your user agent not reflect your system and track you based on that too.

Use Mullvad Browser without changing anything important (change the default search engine at most) and preferably use a proper VPN to actually avoid tracking during regular internet usage. Or use LibreWolf to at least fool naive scripts.

I would suggest reading this too:
