They work the way Apple wants them to

Don't tell them about all the different ad blockers we can use!

They're Apple users. They aren't used to making any decisions when it comes to how their phones work

To add to this, you might as well set up a VPN at the router level for your entire house because Google's whole business model is surveillance and advertisements, so they're 100% going to collect all of the data coming and going.

Man just needs to look at the moon to mark 28 days

Excellent info. My wife like to hang on to her phones as long as possible. I think you just made the decision for her

That's a pain in the ass. Especially because they'll have to mail it, she'll have to set it up, then if she decides she doesn't want it, format it and Mail it back and then go buy another one. Isn't there an easier way to just hold one for a couple of minutes?

But doodlebug69 needs to accept a message from you before you can see their profile info.

You shouldn't be forced to be anonymous. If you want to pick the same username, you should be able to. But even so, there's still a required number at the end. So unless your username elsewhere ends in 2 digits and isn't already taken, then you can't pick it anyway

Why would it be better?

Proton Mail is great. Can't compare to fastmail because I've never used it. But I enjoy being a paying customer instead of an advertising target and I use every product in their suite. Happy to answer more specific questions

You could try talking to your phone company about it. My wife had a problem where someone was spoofing her number to make the spam calls. So she'd get call backs from old ladies asking her who she is and what she wanted. But T-mobile shut down her number for like 24 hours, which was inconvenient for a day, but when it came back on the problem was resolved.

For torrents and for anything else

I use a VPN and maintain a ratio. They must use something other than IP address as a unique identifier.

“There is no technological or security justification for Apple mandating the use of iCloud for Restricted Files,” the lawsuit reads.

Wouldn't this argument also be true for everything else Apple restricts you from doing? Texting app, browser, Apple music on a home pod, etc? (I don't have a lot of good examples because I don't have an i thing but I'm sure there are more)

That's not even how it works. No one sells your data, they sell access to what the data means.

So how do we use this to lose him the homophobe vote? That's gotta be more votes lost than gained.

And they are really moving quickly with development. I feel like we're getting new features monthly

I use a VPN and it's on a kill switch, so if it gets disconnected for whatever reason, the machine can't reach the internet at all.

I can't imagine why a private tracker would disallow you from using a VPN

It's all I use. I feel like there's less risk and they're way more organized.
