Ask how many civilians Obama killed without congressional approval under the War Powers Act.

Google the IRS targeting conservatives under Lois Lerner and sanctioned by the Administration.

You said a Trump presidency. Do you honestly believe that no other person is capable of being an authoritarian? Guess you don’t remember Obama.

So that data then goes nowhere? I don’t believe that.

You’re right, there is no argument. You merely stated that crypto wasn’t private and I showed where that statement doesn’t have to be accurate.

No more complex than opening a bank account, and finding a way to get cash to put in it, whether that’s getting a job, prostitution, selling things, etc.

It sounds complex, but so is becoming a millionaire.

Means both parties have to agree to be recorded (usually at the onset of a call).

“Be advised, this call is recorded for quality assurance purposes” at which point you could hang up. The 4th Amendment still applies in America, regardless of what local cops and prosecutors believe. You have a right to privacy in two-party conversations.

Does not matter who is president of the US.

Let’s talk about wiretapping laws and states where two-party consent is required to record a call.

Where I live, I must notify the other party that I am recording. If not, it’s illegal. Also, any audio recorded without consent is not admissible in court.

Bitcoin isn’t private. Monero should be what you use for anonymous/private payments.

“…locally on device without connecting to the internet”

How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?

If it notifies the end user, what good does that do? My phone is at my ear, I don’t stop a conversation when another app sends a notification while I’m on a call.

This will 100% report things in the background to Google.

Where’s the “Just use FF” Bros on this one?

Firefox user with 2TB of RAM forgets what the X button does.

I use MV and rarely see a captcha.

“Fewer than 0.5% of Brave users are using Strict fingerprinting protection mode, based on our telemetry data.”

Probably because most users who enable strict mode, also disable the telemetry?

So now we see the effect of disabling telemetry, a negative change in the product.

Guess its back to Chromite only then.

Since when does FF on Android have “Close All Tabs on Quit”?

Believe it or not, millions if not hundreds of millions use SMS every day.

Wait until it has us picking between Good images and Bad ones, to train the AI

And you can add search engines to SearXNG through the config files. I added Lemmy search.

I want to agree with you without exception, but there are too many variables. People who live in large cities vs rural may have different needs. Think public transport, event venues, digital tickets, etc.

Where I live, no, I don’t “need” a smartphone. Unfortunately due to organizational involvements, I still need to use one daily.
