I actually just went through this because I previously used iCloud’s Hide my Email service, but I’m de-Appling so I had to find something new. I’ve used Hide my Email, Firefox Relay, and Addy.io.
Hide my Email is hard to replace because it’s shared with the entire @icloud.com address pool, so it’s hard for companies to reject and it’s hard to link all of your aliases together.
I ultimately settled on a combination of having a Tuta paid plan, which gives you a few email addresses, and Addy.io. I chose Addy because it’s run out of Europe (the UK specifically) and has some great power user features while still offering easy-to-use apps for all of the platforms I use. I’ve only had Steam reject an Addy address so far.
At the time, I also thought Firefox Relay only allowed you to use your custom domain, but they do allow you to use the more generic @mozilla.com domain as well for better anonimity. Firefox Relay does have a limit to how long you can reply to emails you’ve received, though (I believe it’s 90 days), it’s run out of the US, and I think Mozilla has done some questionable things recently with respect to privacy.
I didn’t check out SimpleLogin since it’s owned by Proton, and I didn’t check out DuckDuckGo’s offering because I believe it’s also a US company.
You’re welcome! Let me know if you need any log files, I’m sure we can get to the bottom of this one!
#1321 Blue didn’t win
Expected behavior: Blue wins.
Actual behavior: Blue didn't win.
Steps to reproduce: Join a team other than Blue and press the button.
I think we can skip the “loving” part and leave the rest…
I know this post is a bit older at this point, but do you have any custom fonts installed? I could reliably reproduce my browser fingerprint as you described, even between Librewolf and Firefox with different configurations (including JavaScript disabled in Librewolf). A visit on one browser would increment the counter, and vice-versa.
I had forgotten that, quite some time ago, I’d installed a font not packaged with my OS - I deleted it, made sure to clear out my site data, changed IPs, and finally got a shiny new fingerprint.
Cross-referencing with EFF’s coveryourtracks site, I also noticed that one metric that almost never changes for me is my audiocontext fingerprint, although I can thwart that by disabling JavaScript, but maybe that’s contributing as well?
Trust me, it’s more of a nightmare than a dream.
Bowser? Who doesn’t nut to him?
Well since purple is red and blue combined, I’m pretty sure we both actually won and that’s definitely NOT cope.
Well, I’m feeling a bit Blue that my team lost, but we’ll be back stronger than ever next season!
This has been my experience as well. I’m actually a little disappointed when a car maker goes to the trouble of putting in a fully digital instrument cluster and then just use it to display… two dials, with no other options. Ideally they’d all include at least 1 more conventional-looking option and then some fancier ones.
I was actually going to recommend taking a look at Mazda vehicles, as they’re quite upscale, reliable, economical, fun to drive, and still have physical instrument clusters (sadly though, only the Miata offers a manual on the higher trims, so on any model but that you’re relegated to losing features to gain the stick shift).
I did find this thread on the GR86 forums (which, as you’re likely aware, is the BRZ’s platform-mate) and saw this place mentioned (no affiliation) with respect to modifying the instrument cluster to open up some customization options, but I didn’t read too far to determine what extent of customization is possible.
As another commenter mentioned, there’s also the WRX, and if you’re not absolutely set on RWD, I’ll again mention the Civic Si, Type R, and also the Integra (really just a dressier Civic) are also options which display speed conventionally, have lots of cargo space, engaging driving dynamics, and a manual option (albeit sometimes finicky - if you haven’t used a Honda manual before, definitely get some seat time behind one before committing).
Personally, I like digital speedometers and I think you might get used to it, but in case you’re afraid you won’t, there are usually different display options. Audi, for example, allows you to customize their “Digital Cockpit” from more conventional looking gauges to a “hockey stick” style. Honda, at least as far as the newest Civics are concerned, uses a fully digital display but with conventional-looking dials (with the exception of the Type R, which in Sport+ mode gets a unique display).
I think your best bet might be to narrow down your search to particular cars you’re interested in and either ask here, in some forums specific to that make and model, or ask the salesperson - any of them should be able to help you find out if and how to customize the dashboard to your liking.
Edit: what cars have you looked at so far?
Edit #2: it also sounds like you may be running afoul of the cars’ safety features. Many cars, including mine, are set from the factory to flash, blink, or otherwise highlight the speed when you’ve gone over the limit, even if only by 1 mph / kmh, which I did find distracting. I adjusted the buffer to +10 and it’s much less annoying.
Absolutely! And for those that can, building a local community or mutual aid group is about the best thing you can do, although I recognize that sadly, not everybody has the luxury of a body of like-minded people nearby.
For anyone that needs to see this - if you have one, find your local SRA, Liberal Gun Club, Pink Pistols, and/or John Brown Gun Club chapter - sooner, rather than later.
Ah, then it must have been my relevant experience that was lacking (I knew it was one of the two, lol).
This is amazing, thanks for sharing!
Well I’m not gonna lie, I envy your firsthand experience, lol. I’ve looked at jobs they have open from time to time, but alas, they generally either don’t fit my experience or are more aimed at candidates from Europe.
Honestly I’d love if more companies could adopt their payment model. Phreeli looks like a solid cellular provider and I’m sure their double-blind armadillo thing is legit, but if I could just mail them an unmarked envelope with nothing but a numeric account identifier and some cash I’d like it way more. Same with Tuta. But I understand there’s some possibility for logistical concerns there (what happens if the user loses their account identifier? Too many banks still use SMS 2FA, etc. etc.).
I will be for sure! I’ve been trying out the different Fediverse “reddit clones” (for lack of better terminology) to see which one I liked the most (I started with just Lemmy) before I settled on which one I was going to support, but I’m pretty confident Piefed is the winner.
