this is awkward i am sorry it seems like my memory failed me, for one it is was mullvad and obscura that have a deal, not nymvpn…

and then i also thought somehow that vpns are in sweden protected by the constitution, but it appears its more like normal laws. Which appear to be effective tho. But mainly i thought about that recently switzerland was proposing laws like this https://tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surveillance-plan (possible that laws like these get proposed in sweden aswell ofc) which makes it sound like the privacy stands of the goverment is not that strong anymore, but there are probably no effects really at the moment. I think i would rank sweden and switzerland equally i guess, i mean the famouse mullvad example kind of proofs that they are safe i think…

But like my research into the countries is not that deep, so if you really looked into this deeply and switzerland is really better for some reason, than i guess it is like this.

But i still think the age is important, like sure its completly possible that an old vpn suddenly gets infiltrated or idk what really, but since for vpns are mostly trust based, i think that the track record is the best option for this… and new vpns just dont have that long of a record (personally i would not use like a 1 month old vpn for example, whoever good it sounds)

or can nymvpn offer garantuees similar to tor?

so Hyprland is made by Facist, is this correct? never heard of that, but i wanted to use it at some point, guess i wont be doing that then, good to know

representing the people once again 😌🙃

the website is great really

And btw it seems like you can easily use it to “contact” all Eu represanatives for other matters aswell, it generates a list of the mail addresses of whoever (national or eu) you choose, optional everyone, and then you can copy it to your mail account and write them

It is not much but it feels good doing something, maybe one person might read it atleast

now that you say it like that, i think it is really like that, they always portray the privacy and cybersecurty people as just having an opinion on this…

I do not agree with placing switzerland over sweden in that location category

and i think a category should included, that tracks age of vpn or something like that, considering this is nymvpns biggest flaw… still hard to say how trustworthy it is + their software is less battle tested

(and just for someone curiouse, it should be mentioned that nymvpn does use mullvad servers/ has a deal with mullvad sry i mixed that up obscura and mullvad had partnership, not nymvpn)

delete your account and get always on mullvad vpn, reddit often blocked the vpn exit node, so you just can not use it then lol (but sometimes it works still)

I can not garantuee you anything, and it could be possible that things just changed in the last months. But i think until atleast around march i had been using youtube premium + mullvad without any problems. But the vpn was set to the country i live in… (i then switched to newpipe and no vpn for youtube)

if you get youtube premium it should work fine 😬

if they did not change it

on your phone, does it also not work in browser if you are logged in?

Like the fact that someone can get shot for offering to get their neighbour high, while companies can litteraly operate like crime syndicates with minimal repercussion

might be a cause for people thinking the law is just opression instead of a guideline that can be actually used

I am not really sure, but i think i have read that google and android has to split up because of cartel laws at some point,

and i hope this might make things better (considering that like a lot of different companys do rely on android after all), but it is a fragile hope

yeah i think i understood it like that too, but they sounded confident that this was a one time issue and that it wont really be a problem now for future releases

but sry i am not really sure what you mean/ the connection is to the topic/ the os/ driver and firmware blobs?

but these are firmware and drivers from the hardware manufactures and not the OS

Android can be forked at any time

android is the linux distro

is piefed and lemmy the same? I see the same posts on piefed

I think your line of thinking and reasoning about this is very flawed

this, like so why are the owners not going to jail now? And the executives?

always only responsible for the success, but never for losses or crimes somehow.

if they can steal all the value created by the workers, claiming they own it, then they should also be the very first judged for what they do with their property and held accountable.

sounds like you are suggesting that in private companys jobs are distributed by merit and skills lol

i too miss the alias service, and i dont really know an alternative aswell.

The issue is kinda, that any alias service is basically just forwarding your mails … so it is really hard to trust anyone with that

and a private domain is not really a solution, for privacy

and like tuta does offer 15 or 30 (but 30 is super expensive) permanent aliases… which is like nice but does fill up super quickly if used like how it is used for proton
