i haven’t said shit about linux, and you will even note i said my company’s official position is to recommend proprietary software like chrome. i’m saying to use a desktop, not a phone, regardless of phone os and desktop os.
you’re just saying stuff at this point and if you keep it up i’ll be blocking you because none of what you’re saying has anything to do with what i’m saying
you’ve misunderstood the research and shouldn’t be admonishing people for not using a search engine when clearly you didn’t. an app is more secure than a mobile browser, but neither are more secure than a workstation browser. you are spreading misinformation when you pronounce stuff like this that you clearly didn’t put the work in to understand
first result, specific to banking, i got from a forensic expert:
Randal Wolverton, a certified public accountant who serves on the American Institute of CPAs’ Forensic and Litigation Services fraud task force: “My preference is to bank with computers in a secure environment, as thieves may find smartphones more attractive to attack,” he says.
Since smartphones travel with you, they give fraudsters unique opportunities. If a customer is standing in line at a grocery store and decides to check her bank balance on her phone, someone could be looking over her shoulder and guess the password. That kind of situation is unlikely to arise when banking on a computer at home, Wolverton says.
this is pretty in alignment with our forensic research for network hardening when it comes to kid data, too. a phone is just a snitch that lives in your pocket. the less you do from it, the more secure you’ll be. you should really only be doing critical things, like banking and logging into your labor or educational institution, from trusted hardware on a trusted network. phones are fine for looking up business hours, interesting tidbits, and the like, but you shouldn’t do anything you specific that matters to your life if you can help it.
what are you saying right now? you’re not making sense. i work in securing networks for children’s data though. and there’s nothing we can do to get the kids’ data safe if they access our systems on our phones so we recommend chrome on a desktop computer because we presume they won’t have the technical knowledge to harden a browser and chrome is set up, by default, a little more securely (though not as privately) as firefox
Banking on smart phones is safer than banking on Windows, and far safer than banking on Linux
this is patently false. smartphones leak all sorts of data about you on a network that desktop computers, regardless of OS, simply don’t, especially if you use a hardened web browser like arkenfox, phoenix, or librewolf
the people who understand what’s going on have figured out that what the regime means is “brown people are, as a group, the worst of the worst.” the people who don’t understand that are more vulnerable to believe that the face value is the truth
is it known for that? do you mind linking some documented evidence for this claim? this is my first time hearing something like this
i wonder how many of their customers forgot to unsubscribe
that would be a non-cloudbased non-easy solution. personally, that’s what i’m doing, but i don’t anticipate most computer users wanting to go through the effort when so many people are still running windows 10 rather than switching to linux
which was either 7 or 4 years ago now (can’t remember)
VaultWarden will probably become what people who care about these things turn to for a cloud-based easy sync solution
since no one’s mentioned them:
Newpipe at the moment
not exactly. the more nuanced inspection of what he said was that donald trump’s plans to deregulate the tech industry he expected to benefit his company. however, that deregulation is in service of allowing more surveillance capitalism, environmental degredation, and worker mistreatment. the wording i provided is what that ultimately means as an analysis of how and why proton would make more money in that type of environment

edit: didn’t think this would be controversial to say. Helleman’s mayonaise is a unilever brand. Unilever has ties to israel and even sells olive oil made from stolen olives. this is worse than just rainbow capitalism
edit 2: ooooh. this isn’t real. okay.
Not at all. I’m from Central Appalachia in Virginia.
alright. my apologies for taking such an ungracious stance. it was just hard for me to fathom:
all the people i’ve met who don’t think Juneteenth should be a holiday come in one of two flavors:
i defaulted from past experience into assuming you fit into category 1, and for that i apologize. lord knows i’ve experienced things reaching my knowledge base later than others because information that truly matters spreads slow, and the internet has not been the accelerant to information spread we often delude ourselves into thinking it is.
i grew up being told, by Asian people, that “Asian” is a slur to them, and that it unfairly lumps them all into a single category. the term they asked me to use instead is considered by most Asians today to be outdated, and a slur.
again. i take ownership of that i jumped too fast to being unkind, and that this was ultimately unconstructive. i will work harder to do better in the future
NEVER SAVE YOUR PASSWORD IN BROWSER REGARDLESS!! holy shit!! it’s like you actively seek bad behavior patterns to prove your point. you should disable saving passwords as one of the first things you do when you install a browser, regardless of OS. i recommend using keepass for users who really care about privacy and security and 1password for users who can’t be arsed to learn this stuff
