ISOmorph , to Technology in Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home for privacy reasons (which can easily be automated). The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi, wether you connect a network or not.

ISOmorph , to Patient Gamers in Have win7 laptop. What to play on it?

I get the feeling you're just being contrarian on purpose now. Most, if not all games released on win 7 will still run on win 7 now, and will continue doing so forever, period. That's exactly why OP is asking for cool games from that era.

ISOmorph , to Patient Gamers in Have win7 laptop. What to play on it?

Actually the opposite is true. I don't know of a single game where the devs patched out something so it stops working on the OS it released on.

ISOmorph , to Patient Gamers in Have win7 laptop. What to play on it?

Well, games used to and still run on MS DOS, so Win 7 really isn't an issue.

Have you really never heard of GOG? It's an awesome platform. They allow you to actually buy games so you can 100% own them drm free. No Steam or whatever other game launcher is needed. Also they specialize in older games, so it's perfect for this use case.

r/atheism is leaking... This conflict has as much to do with religion as the apartheid in south africa had. This is just pure unadulterated racism, period. The best way to heal that imo, is literally fuck each other until there are only brown people left in the world.

ISOmorph , to Linux Gaming in I'm giving Linux gaming a shot, but I've run into a couple display issues

Nobara is great distro that includes nvidia fixes and has a KDE spin

ISOmorph , to Privacy in The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024

Let's see what europes e2ee ban will bring. Proton is one of the "high risk" services mentioned in the bills debate. Might not be too long before you have to host your own mail server if you want privacy in europe.

Read the article. France is the one trying to find a solution. Germany is to blame.

ISOmorph , to Privacy in "just got doxxed to within 15 miles by a vision model, from only a single photo of some random trees. the implications for privacy are terrifying. i had no idea we would get here so soon. holy shit"

Privacy matters most in the individual case, with people who know you.

That statement is subjective at best. My friends and coworkers knowing where I live certainly isn't my concern. In today's day and age privacy enthusiasts are definitely more scared of corpos and governments.

isn't worth it yet.

You're thinking too small. Just in the context of the e2ee ban planned in europe, think what you could do. The new law is set to scan all your messages before/after sending for specific keywords. Imagine you get automatically flagged and now an AI is scanning all your pictures for locations and contacts and what not. Just the thought that might be technically possible is scary as hell.

ISOmorph , to Free and Open Source Software in Fennec vs Mull: pros and cons of each?

I tried switching from Fennec to Mull a couple years ago, but every third site broke with it. So I reinstalled Fennec.

ISOmorph , to World News in UK surgeon who described Gaza ‘massacre’ denied entry to France | The Guardian

Germany is so incredibly scared to be associated with antisemitism since WW2, they're willing to obfuscate and support the genocide of an entire nation. This is beyond despicable.

ISOmorph , to Privacy in "just got doxxed to within 15 miles by a vision model, from only a single photo of some random trees. the implications for privacy are terrifying. i had no idea we would get here so soon. holy shit"

You're misunderstanding the post. It's not about whether or not someone could guess your location from a picture. It's about the automation thereof. As soon as that is possible it becomes another viable vector to compromise your privacy.

I think tmdb should have you covered

ISOmorph , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

Torrenting/seeding works great with Mullvad, which doesn't have port forwarding
