And that’s the reason why I don’t use it, I need specific websites that access my local time, and apparently whitelisting is not a thing.

Wow, that’s quite something. Hopefully a temporary thing due to spam issues or so…

Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

I’m using a VPN almost permanently, never had any issues there.

Are you sure it’s lemmy.world and not cloudflare or something?

Dogs can eat peanuts just fine?

They shouldn’t be part of a regular diet since they are too high in fat, but the same applies to peanut butter. There’s no difference whatsoever.

I can’t see the option on my free account either, despite installing the most recent update earlier today.

My webhost allows passwords of all length and complexities in the password set field, but will strip $ and & on the login mask on their main website, like in the top right corner.

A failed login will automatically bring you to a dedicated login.xxx.yyy subdomain and prompt a password reset, but if you use the login mask there instead, the exact same password works.

If I were an exec at Google, I’d have already made a move to buy out a small country. Tuvalu, Nauru or something with a minuscule GDP. Then proclaim the Google Republic, move HQ functions over, and be free of taxes and outside influences forever.

And being their own country, they could even have a full fledged military…

I think the lite versions don’t allow scripted blocking, only static or something. So a whole lot of the adaptive blocks for persistent ads you encounter on facebook, instagram and other shitty socials that behave like viruses will be hard to impossible to kill.

I’m glad I never had to deal with that as I have never used Chrome on desktop, but I’m pretty sure there will be many folks out there who don’t know how to switch.

My go-to for the last 7 years at the very least. It’s great, and incredibly fast in opening/rendering documents.

Use Instander instead. It’s a clone that removes quite a few of the data harvesting and shows no ads either.

Hm. Since covid, even my local bakery started taking cards. Even most corner shops for late night beers do. Kebab is usually still impossible, but that seems like the final frontier.

Yep, the one issue with shadowsocks is that you can only install it on end devices, not on a router. That’s the big benefit of Astrill. But anyway, my days in China are numbered, so I’m soon not going to need that anymore.

What was the reason for you to switch from Mullvad in the first place?

I’m using a combination of Astrill (paid) and Proton (free, as a backup) since they are the only ones that reliably work in China, but once I’m out of here and my subscriptions expire, I’ll be on Mullvad again.

No, nothing. Just configure ublock and sponsorblock to work in private windows.

Use it in the private mode of some privacy respecting Firefox variant and done.

I’ll find one for you later, just heading to the office. But from working as a financial auditor in the past, I know that the AML provision used to be 10k EUR for transfers abroad, and was later increased to 12.5k EUR.

So you don’t have an answer, that’s what I thought.

Anti-money laundering provisions in the EU have been adjusted several times though, so there’s a precedent.

It’s impossible to define the amount in relative terms such as “average EU monthly salary +25%”, because that would simply make it impractical in everyday use when the amount changes every month.

Ok then please tell me how that affects your privacy, and what level of control it gives someone?
