This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer's issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.

In descending order of good privacy:

  • Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
  • Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
  • Mullvad
  • Librewolf
  • Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
  • Everything else
  • Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).

We need them in most residential areas honestly. I live by a main road in my town and there's so many people with these cars in the wee hours of the morning. I hate them.

Yes, child rapists should be ostracised forever. As adults, we have a responsibility to protect the children in our communities. Sorry if this is hard for you to understand but the safety of innocent children is infinitely more important than the poor delicate feelings of a child rapist. If they don't want to suffer the consequences of their actions, then they shouldn't do the bad thing.

Also, he didn't even serve the full sentence given by the court that sentenced him. So no, he did not serve his punishment. That's a load of shite. His government extradited him and let him off easy. And then they effectively spat on the whole punishment again by letting him represent his country anyway.

It doesn't matter how long ago it was. The harm was still real. And it screams "we care more about perpetrators' rights than victims." Or maybe they don't care because the victim wasn't Dutch. I don't know.

I do however agree that they shouldn't go after his family. He committed the crime, not them. Even if I am disgusted by the very idea of anyone willing to sleep with a nonce. Still not my business.

Kavernacle just did a very succinct video on this exact topic https://youtu.be/JmA-0it04Wk?feature=shared

It really does feel like that right now, as someone who lives in northern England.

And shit like this is why I just installed Linux Mint on my mother's PC. No issues so far.

Didn't know about Barclays! Thank you for educating me.

I'm afraid not. You can have Google Wallet installed but you can't have bank cards on it on GrapheneOS.

Edit: this link for more context

I loved it too until I forgot my wallet one day. It's the one thing I had to go back to stock Android for because I forget everything but my phone constantly.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Same phone, same OS, same issue here too.

They are indeed some spiteful ass cunts.
