This reminded me of an episode of Mind Field, which shows significant improvent in cases of ADHD, Migraines, and a skin picking disorder in kids just through the placebo effect.

They use elaborate set ups and suggestions like a turned off MRI machine, fake nurses and doctors in lab coats, etc. And the kids are actually told, that it's their brain doing the healing, not the machine.

If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.

Maybe he wants Investors to think that his site will be really good for targeted ads.

There is a distinction. Dark web is usually associated with the Tor network. Deep web is stuff you can't access normally, like your email or someones Onlyfans.

I think she actually meant dark web tho.

Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.

Nice way of leaking your illegal activities lmao

I know that many people still rely on Google's services, but speaking from my own experience, it's not hard to ditch them entirely.

I installed LineageOS 2 months ago, and was only missing my banking app, which I installed using the Aurora store and it works without any issues. For everything else I found alternatives which are, admittedly not as good/users friendly as Google's. But I wouldn't say there's no true FOSS phone OS.

Aren't custom ROM's open source? It would be nice if you could buy a phone from big brands with it preinstalled already. That would make it so much more accesible.

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

Have you tried installing it with no internet connection? That's what I always used to do, to get a local account during installation.

I guess you could say, that the official USB-C specifications are the "hardware manual".

I was also curious, so I found this page. It looks nothing like the screenshot (maybe because Im on mobile), and the only sentence coming close, under the "Extra online protection" heading, is: "Reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address". As if that means anything if you have Google apps installed on your phone.

But after reading more, I found a link to their how-it-works page, which then linked to their github page. Is beeing open-source really enough to show it's secure and private? I still wouldn't trust them.
