  • some people would read this and will still buy a ford, these companies are taking advantage of the fact that

    1- Most people don't know any better / don't bother to do their research even if its one query to the internet.

    2- People like picking sides and will still pick this over other viable options, just like how people still pick Tesla when they're actively treating their customers like inconvienent nuances and straight up denying claims for no reason while pushing the "You will own nothing and be happy" motto with their subscription models.

    The only reason these predatory companies exist is because most people aren't educated and will not be

  • I mean, I wouldn't.

    this time I'm with the clankers

  • I totally get where you're coming from, as many people already mentioned in the comments, you can get people on your side but DO NOT leave your job, we all know the job market is horrible right now and also the mere idea of applying to new jobs will just make you put ur data out more than these flock cameras will ever know about you

  • THEY'RE ESCAPING THE CONTAINMENT FACILITY

  • I love end stage capitalism and government control ❤

  • didn't even know that the mockup PSN network on the rpcs3 was a thing that is amazing

  • Gaming @beehaw.org

    The current state of ps2 emulation is genuinely amazing.

  • I'm willing to take a fat loss on memory if it means I'm leaving a predatory ecosystem.

    also true on the gold subscription, ps plus is also going up and I'm not willing to tolerate it more

    I've been a PlayStation fan since the ps1 and now I'm leaving them behind

  • I particularly enjoy European based companies because of their customer service.

    one time I had an issue where tutanota double charged me, I sent one email saying "I got double charged" without giving much context or having to explain myself, they replied within minutes and fixed the issue without me needing to do further action.

    American companies could never.

  • seeing how the tech space is around here and digging more into binaries, they most probably outsourced their stuff, that third party company probably blocked GOS out of discretion, I don't imagine they actually asked for that.

  • it be like that sometimes

  • no, that's a well known workaround, but the banking apps I used were just giving me a generic error, while yes they used google play integrity API, they weren't enforcing it.

    what it turns out is that they were checking for specific packages that come preinstalled with every copy of GOS, effectively blocking users of said operating system.

    Luckily these packages aren't essential and could be disabled by users, bypassing their checks.

    this is one of many that they implemented, there are 3 other checks but it was easy to bypass those too without compromise.

  • as it stands right now, there is no clear benefit for me when it comes between choosing to bank on my browser vs just using the app while yea it does offer some fingerprinting resistance, I'd be still exposing my real IP address, otherwise the bank would flag any other IP address I'm using and will require me to verify myself.

    I opted to run my banking apps in a separate profile without hiding behind anything while kewping my other profiles separate and behind proxies

  • good point, I'm leaning towards just changing the device model in the report and calling it a day.

  • I have to use it, its part of my daily life, but thank you for your response.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    A potentially OPSEC compromising open source contribution.

  • thank you so much, another thing I also missed when looking over the technical aspect of it, I'm saving this for future reference.

  • saving this reply for future reference, thanks!

  • didn't know you could do that

  • I rarely use my email, the last time I did when I was unemployed to apply for jobs, the rest are emails I'm expecting from different services I use that regard 2FA or password rests.

    I think I'll be okay with not being HA though that is a valid concern I'll be taking into account.

  • seeing the overall responses, I really do think that some people start with a terrible reputation based on their IP / domain.

    or as you said, they just send spam.

    I decided to take my chances anyway

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Self Hosting your mail server, is it plausible?
