  • Why are you defending Privacy Tools so hard here? Literally anyone can look at the website and see within seconds that it is absolutely loaded with ads and affiliate links. The owner sold out years ago, the privacy community moved on and now he’s mad that he can’t AFK farm money from his shit website. He has absolutely zero credibility and writes stuff like “fuck fame, fuck money, fuck dishonesty” in that post when he himself literally used the fame of his website to make money by dishonestly recommending sponsored shit on it. It is absolutely bizarre to me that you hold this person up as some kind of moral authority and believe everything he says.





  • I don’t like people who exempt themselves from the rules they preach

    Techlore isn’t about preaching rules or activism, though. Their aim is to provide balanced and nuanced information for people with lower threat models. Often that means that the products or services they discuss or recommend to certain viewers are nowhere near the most private or ethical overall; they’re just the ones that have the right balance of privacy and convenience for that person.

    This is all made even more irrelevant by the fact that they actually did close their Discord earlier this year, now that their official forums are in a better state for real-time communication.


  • Darwin resident David Ciaravolo said his partner was hit when a group of teenagers were shooting fireworks at people celebrating Territory Day at Dripstone Cliffs.

    “It’s a bit of a tradition for us to head down there … we really love Territory Day, but unfortunately the vibe down there was absolutely terrible this year,” he told ABC Radio Darwin.

    "This was people hiding in bushes and attacking people with fireworks and running away and setting up and doing it again. And you honestly had no idea where they were.

    "My partner copped a direct hit. Luckily she turned just in time and copped it in the back. If that was in the front, or in the face, it would have been the loss of an eye.

    “She was bleeding … it’s quite a nasty wound.”

    Mr Ciaravolo said he saw people putting fireworks under cars and lighting them towards cars, including a ute with people in the back.

    NT Police Watch Commander Clinton Stewart said emergency services responded to multiple spot fires across the territory.

    “The behaviour overnight has been good … We’ve had less fires than we’ve had in previous years … and people have been abiding by regulations better this year than we’ve had in previous years.”

    The NT is a bit special, isn’t it?











  • Sorry if I’ve misunderstood what you were trying to say. I interpreted that quote from you as suggesting the last true compact Android phones (the Xperia Compacts and, to a lesser extent, the S10e) don’t have custom ROM support. If you were instead saying the most recently released “compact” phones (which are really just medium-sized phones) don’t have custom ROM support, then that would also be partially incorrect since the Pixel A series is widely supported and the Xperia 5 III has official LineageOS support.
