What does DNS66 offer over NetGuard? Near as I can tell, they both use the VPN functionality to work, both don't require root, and both are available on F-Droid. Edit: I guess Blokada is another to consider, just heard of it from this

The PRISM program alone shows the NSA's intent to collect as much information as possible. This in conjunction with the Utah Data Center makes it pretty aparrent what the goal was.

For what it's worth, they don't retain any of that metadata. This has been tested in court: > We’ve designed the Signal service to minimize the data we retain about Signal users, so the only information we can produce in respon

Yeah, that was my interpretation. It sounds like the "low fees" is the consumer benefit. I'd rather everyone have lower rates than a select few being able to "game the system".

> Shouldn't I want to pay money for my password manager? The same argument can be made for any software. This horse has been beaten many times already, and I don't think we really want another open vs. closed source flamewar...

If they provided caption text so it wasn't as accessibility hostile then it might be somewhat excusable. As it was, trying to read the handwriting was definitely annoying.

Can you show me where I can purchase a support plan for a single user? All their offerings start at 50 users from what I can tell.

Brakes certainly last longer due to regenerative braking. While there are still many parts that will need service, there are significantly fewer than a comparable ICE vehicle.

How battery intensive are accelerometers? The last fob I had required a battery change once every year or so already, increasing that frequency could be quite annoying. And I'd rather not have yet another device I need to regularly cha

Exit nodes only handle traffic leaving the Tor network to clearnet sites. Nobody is going to run a child porn site or drug market on the clearnet.

In my experience, Tor runs about as well as ProtonVPN with their "Secure Core" option enabled (which adds routing through an additional hop located somewhere in the EU). Tor has pretty good throughput, I think the problem is the t

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Perhaps the inclusion of the absolutist "every drone strike... ever". But this raises a valid concern. Is drone striking weddings really winning the hearts and minds of people,
