AFAIK Proton is the only one, or at least one of the very few, in the market that supports Port Forwarding. Mullvad got rid of theirs, which frankly sucks because although my experience has been (mostly) great, I've also heard great things about Mullvad, and it's best (and nice) to have competitive alternatives to choose from.

Oh gods yes.

I get so many bills that are dirty, but also you don't wanna know all the germs that are on a lot of those bills. Another thing I learned from years of working in retail is that people are also disgusting as all hell. Many people don't bother washing their hands after going to the bathroom, or they'll hand you nasty sweaty bills they pulled out of their pocket after walking into a store or up to a fuel kiosk during a >80 °F (26 °C) day, or after working a shift in construction or a factory job or even simply just exercising. Some women will pull cash directly out from under their bra, as if I want to accept sweaty boob money. Yes, they could use a wallet. However, many people don't. Rather, they just shove the cash directly into their pocket or bra and be done with it. Because fuck cashiers, I guess.

Not to mention that the majority of bills out there have at least some trace amount of cocaine or other drugs covering it, though you may not be able to see it.

So, in short, sorry for the ramble but, yes, people are absolutely disgusting and so is their cash.

Retail. has. fucking. ruined me.

/rant lol

You get an upvote for the tasteful interrobang, friend. 👍

Not sure if you're serious just forgot a /s but in case the former I just would like to point out that many people—me being one of them—would absolutely love a second monitor but can't afford it. Hell, I can't afford a first monitor. The only reason I have one is because I bought it back when I had a job that actually paid me a living wage. If it broke down now, I would have issues.

Agreed. While I agree with the privacy and security arguments against cashless payment methods, I'm still for them for the simple fact that as someone who works as a cashier for a living (or some semblance of one anyway), I'm more aware than the average public of just how DISGUSTING cash actually is.

My card is embossed. Then again it's also from a community credit union in southeast Michigan. Lol.

I did not realize there were other forks besides Graphene and LineageOS.

In any case, thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to shop around.

Really? That's awesome! I think I'll check it out. :)

 


Edit: ...Seriously? They only support Pixel devices? Wow. Fuck this.

I’ve looked at the bomb simulator linked above

I'm not seeing a link. Did it get deleted?

I'd love to try out GrapheneOS (or another OS), but I can't afford a second phone, and there's no way I'm gonna dive head-first into something entirely unfamiliar to me when it's my only method for telephony.
