  • I made the "what happens with the child porn stored in the blockchain" question and the guy didn't know what I was talking about. I'm waiting for the video to go up live to contact some of the people financing this and ask them if they're comfortable with that.

  • Yes, it is. I didn't see the old thread, sorry for the noise.

  • Privacy.com in Europe?

    Jump

  • In Spain at least I have two small alternatives to this:

    • Paypal (I don't like it too much, but it works fine).
    • A prepaid credit card offered through my bank. Good for sites that don't look too trustworthy but I need to buy from. I just activate it, load it with whatever amount I need, I make the transaction, then disable it again. Even if it gets leaked no one can take any money out.

    For everything else I have a virtual credit card number that's not dynamic, but at least it's something I use exclusively for online stuff.

  • Privacy.com in Europe?

    Jump

  • Here you get a debit card by default with your bank account, and that one's free. You might get a credit one, but credit limits are typically low. I lived in Canada for 9 years and by the time I left I had a CC with a limit of 26k CAD. Here my Spanish credit card has a limit of 1.2k euros, and I've had it for quite a long time.

    In Spain at least there's quite a lot of confusion with this. People call any card type a "credit card", even debit ones.

  • In praise of libgen

    Jump

  • I'm not completely sure. Sometimes I find stuff in one site I don't find in any of the other two. Also, I don't know how often catalogues are synced.

  • In praise of libgen

    Jump

  • Yes. I combine libgen with Anna's Archive and Z-Library and there's very, very little I can't find.

    Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.

  • Any good email service except tutamail and proton ?

    Jump

  • I've been using Fastmail for a few years and I'm quite happy with the service. Being a semi-large organization I expect their security to be OK, but if anyone has comments on that aspect I welcome them.

    As for privacy, I always consider e-mail to be a postcard. If I want to encrypt something, I use GPG locally.

  • PayPal Is Planning an Ad Business Using Data on Its Millions of Shoppers

    Jump

  • In Spain (not sure about Europe in general) things are slightly different.

    I have been living in Canada for 9 years, and there if you see a transaction you don't recognize in your credit card statement you phone your bank and they take care of that.

    Here in Spain you need to go do the police, file a report, then talk to your bank, then they'll think about it.

    So when I came back I was talking with some guys I know and they convinced me that, at least around here, it's still a good idea to use Paypal. You also get faster refunds, etc (and that could be due to some European regulation, not sure).

  • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

    Jump

  • You're right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that "voice" is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

  • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

    Jump

  • If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually "talk", I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it's a possibility.

    I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I've used it very sparsely.)

    And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.
