- Comment on Why is this episode of NOVA about data privacy recommending Privacy Badger? 11 hours ago:
Well, they spoke with the EFF which made Privacy Badger, so maybe that’s why. They did the password thing with the dice, tho, which I guess is good.

- Comment on Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection? 11 hours ago:
Before answering your first question (I’m actually not sure how to answer! I’ll have to think about it 🤔)–my laptop has wifi, which transmits and receives radio waves to/from my router; my router is connected to a cable (broadband cable? I guess? Not DSL at any rate), which is connected to the internet (and there’s also a MODEM in there somewhere too). My laptop doesn’t have the ability to connect by mobile data which uses, I guess?, cell phone towers, but my smartphone can use both. So they’re two different systems is I guess what I’m getting at, and I was never clear on how or if a VPN provided any sort of basic privacy if it was only using cell towers. This is a potentially really dumb question (the head injury doesn’t help 🤕), but remember, William Gibson used to think that computers were powered by these gleaming magical crystals (or so he claims), before he looked inside one and discovered that it was basically just a floppy plastic record spinning around really fast.

Hello, I’m using the AppImage on Linux Mint. The web and android clients don’t seem to have connectivity issues; only the desktop client. I was told to log out, delete my saved account on the desktop client and then log in again. This did not work. Then I was told to disable IPv6 which I think I did, though I’m not sure, and that didn’t help either. Turning off Mullvad VPN also didn’t seem to work. I’ve also reinstalled the desktop client several times, no dice. Looking over on reddit it looks like I’m not the only Tuta user who’s been having connectivity issues. All of the stuff I mentioned trying may or may not be correct as to what I actually did; at this point I honestly can’t remember for certain. What I am certain about is being on the verge of a nervous breakdown over all this; I’ve lost several days of work and I really need to have a syncing calendar that works. Yes, I can still use it on the web, but I really prefer to use a separate client.
