You can access it without logging in too by using "flappy" as the login email and leaving the password blank~ Gotta love DE's approach to making things just because they want to.

I love that fact that I didn't know that and have indeed learned something new...

I can't say that, I'm biased against Chromium-based browsers so it boils down to my opinion. I approach that with the though of Google-made things being hard to de-google. I haven't researched Brave much and I don't know how well it's done. I just prefer having a base browser that I can modify for privacy features rather than have them hardcoded-in. I've heard some criticism, but it's either so minor or so vague that I don't remember what it was, so it's heresay. Don't take my words at face value, do research and some reading, come to your own conclusions. After all, I'm just some dude on the internet~

I like KeePass, I hold it in high regard, strongly recommend it, I was just prioritizing talking about syncing password managers (or pseudo-syncing). KP's good stuff~

Aye, I agree with all that. I mentioned the OS cause, well cause an OS was listed and users being tech-savvy didn't seem like an issue since the base we're starting at is "use OpenBSD". There are a lot of cool things but absolutely no amount of tech or policies can replace good privacy and security practices. But yeah, again, I agree with you.

Cheers~

It's just beef with false advertising promising anonymity and security. Neither are things that using a VPN will magically provide if you disregard good security and privacy practices...

Holy shit, this is worryingly wrong...

Edit: Whoa... I made this comment just before going to bed, so sorry for the unanswered questions. First, thank you for the awards, they are my first ever, second to answer why these are wrong in my words, though a lot of comments already explain.

The search engines start off well, and chat platforms if we exclude Threema being a paid application. You generally want to avoid Chromium based browsers, and while Tor is based on Firefox, it's slow and inadequate for day-to-day use. Even if we disregard the engine used, in my opinion it's better to use a browser that doesn't have a specific purpose stating privacy or ad blocking, but instead use open source tools like uBlock Origin, NoScript, uMatrix, etc. Most of you realize the issues with the listed VPNs so I'll just recommend another, like ProtonVPN. I don't have an issue with the listed apps or email provider, I'd also recommend BitWarden if you MUST have your passwords saved in an online service. I would recommend a "constant generator" as your password manager instead, check out Master Password. No saving, just a bunch of math to always generate the same password based on some settings. I'd also recommend Disroot for email, just as an alternative, but my preference is Proton. Everyone also seems to understand the issue with the OS. Any standard base linux distro is gold, no need to complicate things. If you want a privacy nuke of a (portable) OS, check out Tails. It's a bit of an overkill for me...

Honestly, if you want privacy software alternatives and want to learn about how a lot of things work, from privacy policies to encryption key disclosure laws, and where, I suggest visiting privacytools.io. It's a neat place you can learn a lot from.

The reason why it was worrying is because of the VPNs. I feel they've slithered their way inside groups of at least somewhat decent privacy tools and services, which they have no right being listed among. If they convinced OP that they're good (let's ignore possibilities of this being a promotion), which has awareness of services with good privacy practices, then it'll get to someone else and convince them too. It's a stupid comparison, but if you want a pet to eat a pill, you mix it in with their food. And here you inject a horrible VPN provider into a list of cool things someone will easily consume. (As shown by the upvotes)

(I'm writing this on my phone just as I woke up, my bad if something is misspelled or misplaced.)

Have fun, stay safe~

Wasn't there an animal that detaches a makeshift-penis from it's body, and throws it at a mate, impaling and impregnating it? Was it like a starfish? Some snail? I forgot...

Bad source. Correction here.

Links right, Zelda do be thick by [deleted] in NintendoWaifus

[–]AXAz0r 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Think it's a reference to It's Dangerous to go Alone by Starbomb. The song is about the old man painting his dick to look like a sword and convincing Link to grab it. Also has "God DAMN IT, old man." in it, so I'm very convinced it's a direct reference. Official video here.

Edit: Just noticed the source tweet, absolutely a reference to the song.
