uhm no not really? I mean reproducible builds are used to cross verfiy that it is the same binary in this case, but like android has no mechanism to do that, this is not how it works.

that a build should be reproducible is more about your second point and doesnt really have anything to do with fdroid, as far as i know

Edit: these links should explain it all: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/21675-fdroid-security/2

to be fair hamas is kinda very bad… the palestinians obviously not tho and isreal is still doing a Genocide

i think the security issues are not about fake apps, but about fdroid signing the builds themself, while their build infrastrcuture is described as insecure

“Tor VPN is beta software. Do not rely on it for anything other than testing. It may leak information and should not be relied on for anything sensitive”

in case you did not read the disclaimer

For anyone who considers getting the tor vpn android app “Tor VPN is beta software. Do not rely on it for anything other than testing. It may leak information and should not be relied on for anything sensitive” (it is a disclaimer from their website)

Thank you for adding the created date column and making sweden green

what is up with this batshit insane post, i know this was written by some right wing facist, people like you are the reason it is like this

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 property of the rich was litteraly stolen from us. They are just claiming that they own things and made that basically legal.

it is all made up and kept alive by brainwashing bullshit like this

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

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)

well personally i dont think youtube premium is that bad, considering like it is not really that expensive (i mean compared to my time on youtube then, or like compared to the scam of having to pay for playing online on xbox), and the creators do get money from it

But like i stopped because i did not want to give google and youtube anymore money because the app had so many things that annoyed me, things that had to be bad on purpose, and like i dont want to pay someone that makes things shitty for me on purpose.

so blocking vpns generally is just another step for them in keeping making things worse j guess

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
