disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. And that will help a lot. And if you still need apps from the Google Store, you can use the Aurora Store from f-droid

Edit: you may also want to look into controld.com since their free dns blocks known malware, ads, and trackers. They have several options including standard DNS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over TLS, and Android supports DNS over TLS. So you can use it directly.

Interesting information, although I'm not the one best suited to process it, I would recommend you posting this to something like the skepticism Sunday threads on [email protected]. If it truly has been broken, they are managing to keep it very quiet. And if it has been broken, then there's a good chance that the vast majority of encryption has also been broken, such as HTTPS.

Then why aren't they catching more "criminals"? Also, why hasn't the $600,000 US dollar bounty from the IRS been claimed?

Just makes me want to fight back by helping other people to use Monero, Tor, and other privacy services.

As annoying as it is not being able to really exit to a main internet from I2P, I think they have the right idea by not allowing exits. Though it does most definitely have an impact on how many people are able to use it.

Okay, I knew about home assistant, but was not aware that it was a voice assistant, like Siri or the Google assistant. I just figured it was an app-based thing to control devices (similar to the google home app).

You can't. The only way to use these assistants is not to use them. "More private" does NOT equal "private". Either do not use them at all or be conscious of the fact that you will not be private while using it.

Edit: mycroft maybe the only exception to that and that's only because it's open source and according to what most people think of as a digital assistant would not be ready.

Offer a product/service on XMRBazaar, join the Get Your First XMR matrix room and then once you have at least 0.11XMR you can use Haveno

Okay, I appreciate knowing that information.

Some do, but I'm not aware of many of them, especially not on the home side. Some of the more business-style routers I know do, and some home routers do. But to my knowledge, most home routers do not.

 

I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That's a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.
