not everyone has nudes on their phones, not everyone will get to know that they are leaked, and afaik google hasn’t even leaked user images ever.

they. won’t. notice. it. they wouldn’t notice even if they were subjected to personalized pricing.

maybe flagship phones are different, but I don’t think I ever had such a device in my hands. I regularly help people with affordable phones, and as far as I can tell each had them preinstalled

you still have to trust them that they don’t save the plaintext email somewhere else before they run tbeir encryption.

and that’s what I do. I trust that they are doing it. what better can I do? the other option is to use a provider that 100% is not doing that, which does not seem to be better. or hosting it for myself, which maybe a small minority of people are capable to do it

Where does this come from? An ultra conservative tabloid?

umm, no, I haven’t read it anywhere. It’s just how it is. why do you think this is not the case?

are you immediately imagining me as a russian tankie?

Basically what the ECR and the Patriots say, which is amusing because they are the authoritarian ones, including some big fan of Putin, MAGA, and Hitler. When you think about it, it’s not surprising that an “healthy dose of sovereignty” goes side by side with far-right ideas.

well their dose is not healthy

what is becoming a political block that could eventually compete with the USA, China, and that could stop the imperialism of Russia.

as I see this would either need voluntary high cooperation of most countries, which would be a good thing (but not in the sense of imposing my country’s laws on your country because your country hosts servers of interest), but something very hard to achieve because that would need to be maintained for multiple political parties when they are elected.
or a united states of europe that would basically replace each country’s political system with a top-down system as the other user said, where there are no local elections for the ruling party anymore, or much less meaningful, but only an EU-wide election. which I’m not sure if it’s bad, it’s certainly a lot different. but it’s not something I like that after that, moving to another EU country is not an option if what you want is to leave a bad legal regime.

you know, maybe I have these main problems with the eu cloud act:

• 10 days is way too little time for appeal, especially when there’s a high volume of requests (a single country could overload their capacity)
• you won’t get to know if a country has held the gun to your email or other provider to hand over your data. yes this is the case already, but this change makes it even worse.
• if a country bans encryption, does that mean my online service providers have to ban me from the encrypted functions?

because it’s a pocket computer that fits in a small place and can drive an external display

how exactly do you think they’ll notice that it backfires?

What you propose is an alliance where countries maintain their differences, essentially the dissolution of the EU and the return to the Europe of the early 1900.

to the 1900? what? do you think that currently the EU is one big country with no major differences?

the EU consists of several different communities, with different cultures and different thinking. I think each country should be able to keep its healthy dose of sovereignty. I’m not saying what we have today is ideal, but turning everything to be more authoritarian is not going to make anything better.

nobody needs to install it nowadays, because it comes preinstalled on all phones. and lots of people just mindlessly allow every kind of permission

and what can they apply that limit to, if not to all tor visitors? It’s not like they can distinguish them.

to me it’s not that they market their security, I think it’s still meaningful. if they actually dont keep unencrypted messages, that rids them of the need to hand over past data when police comes knocking. but the way they do discounts, the way they publish prices on the pricing page, and things like that that make me question whether do I really want to recommend this to others.

OP said they are blocking tor users. I say the error message might just be legit and someone is spamming username existence checks through Tor.

you might want to also know that a considerable number of users block lemmy.ml content, because that instance has… interesting political ideas. I don’t have numbers though.

are you sure? I thought that it is just developed by former amdocs employees, started after they left

who is pushing against it? the pirate party did not get any seats in the EU parliament this round

you are saying that as if all (or any) of those would have started to be a problem just in the last 12 hours…

and this is not about “online treats”, but online threats. It’s not just netflix, amazon and other silly unnecessary things, it’s everything, including every forum where people can organize and discuss things, fucking youtube with their tons of knowledge based content, …

but sure! we have 4 other problems, count climate change too, that’s 5, we really should just ignore this one because it’s literally meaningless!

maybe you could install a “portable” linux system on it. you may want to encrypt it though

I wonder how they do it. do they just open a handle for all program files at startup that could be needed at any point?

bit out of character that this is what kde does not let you to customize by default

I don’t think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don’t want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

nowadays if I go there, I only do because I’m following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

never said anything about the US, but fuck that too
