I can not garantuee you anything, and it could be possible that things just changed in the last months. But i think until atleast around march i had been using youtube premium + mullvad without any problems. But the vpn was set to the country i live in… (i then switched to newpipe and no vpn for youtube)

if you get youtube premium it should work fine 😬

if they did not change it

on your phone, does it also not work in browser if you are logged in?

Like the fact that someone can get shot for offering to get their neighbour high, while companies can litteraly operate like crime syndicates with minimal repercussion

might be a cause for people thinking the law is just opression instead of a guideline that can be actually used

I am not really sure, but i think i have read that google and android has to split up because of cartel laws at some point,

and i hope this might make things better (considering that like a lot of different companys do rely on android after all), but it is a fragile hope

yeah i think i understood it like that too, but they sounded confident that this was a one time issue and that it wont really be a problem now for future releases

but sry i am not really sure what you mean/ the connection is to the topic/ the os/ driver and firmware blobs?

but these are firmware and drivers from the hardware manufactures and not the OS

this makes me feel better somehow like atleast they are aware

Android can be forked at any time

android is the linux distro

I think your line of thinking and reasoning about this is very flawed

Does not sound “over regulated” to me??

this, like so why are the owners not going to jail now? And the executives?

always only responsible for the success, but never for losses or crimes somehow.

if they can steal all the value created by the workers, claiming they own it, then they should also be the very first judged for what they do with their property and held accountable.

I feel like this is another well planned marketing campain to have people talk about the new iphone etc.

i too miss the alias service, and i dont really know an alternative aswell.

The issue is kinda, that any alias service is basically just forwarding your mails … so it is really hard to trust anyone with that

and a private domain is not really a solution, for privacy

and like tuta does offer 15 or 30 (but 30 is super expensive) permanent aliases… which is like nice but does fill up super quickly if used like how it is used for proton

I would recommend mullvad.

the ceo of proton did idicate support of the trump and the republican party and while they backtracked and apologized and all that, is it out that atleast some in the company think like that and i dont trust them anymore.

and trust is number 1 priority for vpn.

what i duckducked and its true lmao

Corruption is nominally illegal under most Western systems although economics does favour those with the money for their legal defense.

what i meaning is more like, lets say you give some place money for some public service, like public transport. And then the guy who implements this service/ leads the service/ is responsible for it, takes half the money for themself and the uses only the rest for the service -> corruption In capitalism and privatisation, a private company has to do it, and like some percentage of the money goes into the pockets of the owners -> appearently fine

sry writing this i think this might not be what corruption means as word, but maybe more like embezzelment? not sure

but you have to understand that if you dont like please these companys and make the working conditions like good, that they will just leave to some other cheaper place 🙃🙃 (I am pretty sure that is like the argument i am always hearing, that it will be too exspensive for the companys)

Like as if some other place will not always be cheaper and easier to be used to produce stuff, and as if maybe one should not be blackmailed by the greed of the investors, and as if maybe the problem would be like something else (capitalism)

… and this is discord. Now imagine how “safe” the data is on any random service

capitalism basically is just making corruption legal and acceptable and acting like anyone could become the next person profiting from it.

while the non-capitalism examples are like alomst very autharian regimes, in which it was never really like that stuff is owned by the workers and all that, but that they were working for basically whoever was in power/ held positions of power.

(and to be fair it (capitalism) made planning easier, since all of this happend in a time without the information technology of today)

or atleast that is how i see it, but it i have no deep education in this so i can be wrong
