I use Brave browser because it's the best option on Android. Firefox and their forks are too slow and insecure.

  • Well, that fix for PipiPipe didn't last long.

  • Have a look at JMPChat. They are a VoIP provider (network connection is required to make or receive calls) and may not be subject to the kyc rules.

  • It's very easy to not watch the ai videos when it's getting more difficult to watch youtube without an account.

  • Soooooo you haven't watched the show.

  • I'm grateful I don't have dementia.

  • Even Americans, who aren't Caucasian, are being put into ICE detention (or deported). The US is a dangerous place for anyone with darker skin. Even worse for visitors. Not even safe for Canadians.

  • "Twitter (now X)." is where I stopped reading. Everyone knows, it's been years.

  • You are very welcome. Thanks for the link.

  • This started as part of C-2, a strong border bill. Specifically sections 14 and 15. It didn't get the votes and failed because of 14 and 15. It was later reintroduced as two bills, a border bill and a lawful access bill.

    C-22 is a tamer version of sections 14 and 15 in C-2. The Liberals have a majority so they may have the votes.

    Several parts of this bill violates The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and I'm hoping the courts will kill the bill.

  • Sure "these two trolls" are against it but so is Proton, Signal, Apple, Nordvpn, Windscribe vpn, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Cybersecurity Advisors Network.

    As well as Canadian technology lawyers David Fraser and Michael Geist.

    The chairs of the US House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees both have spoken against C-22.

    Many respected privacy companies are against the bill.

  • I don't have a schedule. I arrive and leave when I want and taking a day off is no issue.

  • I tried nearbyglasses but it doesn't stay running. I'll give nopeek a go and see if it's any better.

  • Mullvadvpn is my vpn of choice. Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora are the recommended distros if using Mullvad.

    Mint isn't for everyone. A lot of picking a distro, at least for me, is will it work with the services I want to use.

  • Once upon a time, my parents were switching ISPs and the sub-contractor doing the install demanded a cell number. We had been with this ISP before and they never needed a cell before and didn't indicate the need for one when the appointment was made over the phone. I was the only person in the house with cell service at the time and wasn't about to provide my number without a clear reason as to why.

    I said to the technician "Not everyone has a cell, what do you do in those situation, you must have an another option?"

    The technician when blue screen. With 80% of people in my province having a cell he likely hadn't experienced pushback before.

    Then I said "I just got home from work, what would you do if I wasn't here to give you my cell number?"

    Another blank stare.

    Finally, he accepted my dad's email address. Perhaps this was for a 2fa code, I never did ask why the cell number was required.

    ================

    Another time a store checkout clerk asked for my postal code (a zip for the Americans). I said no. Usually this is the end of it but this guy "needed" the postal code and wouldn't ring my items through. After me saying no, with increasing volume, about 4 times, he caved and totaled up the items. Most stores ask for a postal so they know what neighbourhoods to send paper flyer to but this store doesn't have flyers so they really don't need this information.

  • Shitty behavior on the part of Moto.

    On the other hand, installing GOS gets rid of this issue. I'll likely still buy a Moto if I have the option of installing GOS myself. I wouldn't trust Moto to not add something to a pre-installed GOS.

  • Yeah, that's more convenient as I already carry a folding box cutter.

    Sometimes, I see a swastika in a public washroom. I turn them into tic-tac-toe with my mini sharpie.

  • Addy.io allows me to add a description for each alias so I can keep track of what each alias is for.
