It’s not a conspiracy, just plain old incompetence.

Is dead simple and does both OpenVPN and wireguard.

You simply input a random color. How they can check if it is true ? Same for any other field.

The point there is that complying with the whims of every town on the planet gets to be unmanageable. A town with <1000 people deciding what fields are present for the other 8 billion is insane. I picked color as an example for something dumb that wouldn’t matter. I hoped that was obvious.

And if you can just lie about it, then why even bother including the field at all?

In some countries it would be illegal to ask for such data. (EU for example)

Exactly. How does systemd decide which set of laws to follow? The ones that say you need to report the data or the ones that say you can’t?

I’m interested in where the line is for adding this stuff.

What if Hemmingford, NE passes the same law but wants your favorite color instead of dob? What if India says the OS needs to verify your caste, or any number of oppressive countries want your religion as a field? Hell, the US is like one step away from saying your gender assigned at birth needs to be tracked.

I don’t know, rockets are pretty phallic.

You burn 16 tokens and what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt.

I’ve heard good things about Mullvad, never heard of Amnezia. This coming from WhatsApp makes me immediately suspicious of both.

Fuck no.

This is like the one thing Mitch is right about.

Until Pay, there was Wallet. The original Wallet, not the current one.

Classic Google.

I remember wallet only working consistently at McDonald’s.

They already don’t let you use Google pay if you don’t give them control of your phone. This is just tightening the noose a little bit.

So, what you’re saying is that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is a pedophile?

It’s like everyone forgot what a pain in the ass it used to be when Verizon was cdma and didn’t use sim cards.
