> This statement clearly implies this is the reason that Android is currently not safe. I don't see the clear implication, and I don't see the point of going into a deep dive on all the risks in every press release.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't believe Mullvad push that narrative. In the article, they warn that "DNS leaks may have serious privacy implications for users". Looking at their marketing homepage, they say

I guess the safest setup is to have mobile data off on your phone and carry an OpenWRT hotspot to do the VPN bit upstream from the phone.

That depends a lot on your threat model. In many instances it will be better to share an IP with all the other VPN customers. EDIT: Also, without this leak, Android API "VPNs" can actually distinguish traffic of individual apps, a

If they only sold their products in Switzerland, sure. But once they operate in EU countries, they must respect EU laws (for those costumers, at least).

You're twisting my words. Trees can't be the solution to our carbon problem, because they have no way to compete with humanity burning millions of years of carbon storage as fuel. That doesn't mean trees aren't extremely

Older trees fix less carbon than newer trees. Paper products are essentially made of carbon extracted from the air, and you just plant new trees in the farm afterwards. Plastic, on the other hand, is taking carbon that's already seques

I think I do understand why the other people in this thread wrote what they did. It's true their worldview is probably extremely different from mine. I find the extreme wealth inequality we witness to be a great tragedy. That people ar

I interpreted the original idea as the government / public health system paying the person for the kidney. Your idea is incredibly more repulsive. I tried to elaborate, but I can't even entertain the idea for long enough to type o

I find the idea repulsive. Saving lives by paying poor people to part with organs that they would keep if it wasn't for the cash.

I have been using SwiftKey for many years and their swipe and typing prediction are top notch.

I've been using SingleFile for ages now... it's my favorite browser extension after uBlock, thank you for your great tool! :)

This is useful to automate random machines. Very useful for a dehumidifier, for example.

I was curious about the odd shape of old-school razor blades. After some googling, turns out the reason is once again, patents... (and dubious marketing claims)
