- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 6 months ago:
Check if you actually saw multiple people or if it was always just a single user called internetpersona. They are the only one I saw doing that but are quite active here, so you might get a wrong impression. Imo this is completely useless.
- Comment on Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers 6 months ago:
Thank you and sorry at the same time for not phrasing my question properly; I know what it is, I am just very baffled on how it should be a bad thing if they strengthen the enforcement net neutrality. Imo, this is always a pure win for the consumer as it prevents a lot of malicious business models. So basically: no idea what the initial commenter is complaining about.

- Comment on Bypassing problematic captive portals. Cafe gave me a red padlock; transit svc has broken TLS captive portal, etc… 7 months ago:
Whenever you accept the TOS, your device is somehow registered/authenticated against their servers. Such a session establishment of course should be secured through TLS, just like all web traffic in general. Frankly, I see the issue here clearly on your side; you have to make sure your device supports up-to-date cryptography standards.
I saw in a different comment that you do not want to replace your phone but you definitely have to replace your software. Find an older build of lineageOS (well, probably even CyanogenMod in this case) and migrate to that. Even if it is based on Android 8, it would still be much more in line with modern security than what you are running now.
Btw, the complaint of you not being able to do banking through your browser anymore while it does not support TLS 1.3 really made me laugh, thank you!I don't think you realize just how big the risk is that you are putting yourself in with such old software.
