  • exactly... it needs the vpn to even pass anything through... but the apps that don't work with vpns... don't work with vpns. as in, it detects the presence of an android vpn connection and refuses to work, it's not related to what internet connection it actually uses, just that a system-controlled vpn is active on the device.

  • I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn't work.

  • you don't have to load the code every time, you can save it and run locally, this is exactly what the Element desktop app does, it's just an electron loader for a local copy of the website, and you can choose to update it whenever you want

  • Japan has been requiring fingerprints AND photographs for all incoming visitors for the better part of two decades now.

    If a foreign national who is required to be fingerprinted and photographed refuses to comply with this requirement, he/she will be denied entry to Japan.

  • Open Technology Fund

    Which is funded by US Congress, and they also funded Signal.

    For those do not wish to use privacy-related projects funded by a world government, what is a good (in your opinion) alternative? Both with and without Tor involvement (since US govt funded that too).

    Yes I realize encryption, computers and the internet are all also govt-funded, but everyone is free to pick their battles.
