If I weren’t born Iranian, I’d learn Persian too just for the beautiful poems and songs that I haven’t seen in any other language (Arabic and Urdu could come close though).

I used to be able to do so in Esperanto and Arabic as well but not anymore.

Mullvad Browser comes with fingerprint blocking mechanisms of Tor Browser, without connecting to tor. I recommend it.
I’d rather let some EU company like Qwant use my anonymized data, to hopefully someday build their own index, than use Google by proxy (except when neccessary, of course).

hossein@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated contentEnglish63·5 months agoNever heard of forcing VPN providers to block something. Kinda defeats the purpose. Long live Tor I guess?

hossein@lemmy.sdf.orgto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Reviewing the Cryptography Used by SignalEnglish6·5 months agoThey have no data of you to share with the FBI. No list of your contacts, no list of your groups, no data of stickers you use, basically nothing. That’s what’s great about Signal.
I suggest that you read their transparency reports to see what I mean. They share redacted version of their communications with the govts: https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/
hossein@lemmy.sdf.orgto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How can I discourage my dad to install Telegram?English2·5 months agoIt’s about the fact that you HAVE TO trust them to not read your plaintext messages, not see your private photos, whereas Signal is open source (ok both server and client side) and end to end encrypted so you don’t really have to trust anyone.

hossein@lemmy.sdf.orgto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help people trying to circumvent censorship by running a Snowflake proxy!English1·5 months agoI’d like to add that Psiphon (which also helps people in countries like mine evade censorship) has also made a similar mechanism. Please help them if you can as well.

Fixed it. I am using GBoard, though I don’t know if it was me or the keyboard. Thanks for the quote and being nice.
