I love this

But I keep hearing how the American system isn’t democratic since you don’t directly vote for the president, you vote for some middle person who promises to vote for your president? Those people might not be members of the parliment but they can still form coalitions after the fact by voting for who has a chance to win

Why does she need to do this before the election? They can just form a coalition after the election if Kamala doesn’t win

These kinds of things never happen to me, could it be because I have all the tracking stuff disabled?? /s

They literally said the issue was an unintentional bug and then fixed it. How is that damage control?

Are you’re familiar with how singal’s servers work? Even I can think of a system where all messages are collected in a common pool before being distributed, the actual security researchers that made signal surely thought of something better.

How does FISA make it legal for singal to lie to a court about what information they have? Please enlighten me

The server doesn’t need to know or keep track of who’s sending a message to deliver it. If you don’t trust signal to not lie to the court about not collecting such metadata, I can’t convince you otherwise. But there’s a merit in designing your system so that such collection is as hard as possible.

All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.

I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.

I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.

I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information about network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now

I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls or dns over https, which is also widely supported at this point, and those are what all my browsers are using (and also don’t have a flag to turn on or off, they’re handled in settings).

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional.

And as I explained, the weird part is that my browser’s fine despite not using a vpn. No slowdown (on youtube at least) at all

Is that really how it works? I thought signal protocol was about just how the encryption worked, not what is encrypted?

Why does online shoot up as soon as it surpasses friends?

“New” means 8845HS here, which is a rehash of 7840HS, a 2 year old cpu.
