I’d actually rate a proper Lineage OS install of 4 whole Android versions ago to be more private than stock.

Its always the lineageos stans that can’t take the truth.

Would a research paper change your mind?

According to this table, Google Pixels beat other devices listed there by far. Even Samsung S-series doesn’t look good

What about a security expert?

Overall, LineageOS does not leave a privacy-friendly or truly secure impression

It an article from bitdefender. How did you not expect they would promote their service?

Doesn’t matter, the threat is still real.

It can be both an ad and useful info.

You seem very proud to stand up for the other fascists in the room.

Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music?

Spouting antisemitic propaganda to millions of followers. Totally cool as long as his songs are hits. Got it. Strong moral compass you got there.

You are very much the person I figured would stand up for cock.li

Not the point in the slightest.

Lot of people feel the need to explain to me why a service that used domains like rape.lol is totally fine to support.

But sure, maybe you all just growing out of your pro hitler phase and I’m being unfair for not letting you grow.

This is just tiring. If their “honesty” makes you ok with their implicit acceptance of Hitler, rape, and genocide then do you man.

There isnt much to discuss. Your either OK with what these folks obviously stand for based on their past behavior or your not.

Thats some bullshit. There is no context in which using domains like Hitler.rocks and rape.lol are acceptable.

If those are the types of people you find entertaining we have nothing to discuss.

Yes email is an insecure form of communication. They didn’t say that. They said they, as in the service in general, were not trustworthy. There is a difference. Now they are asking you to donate in non refundable crypto. If it smells like a rug pull ran by fascists it probably is…

Probably should look at the domains they were proud to use before supporting a meme service.

Honestly I hope it shuts down. This provider caters to racists, fascists, misogynists and the like.

Not to mention I don’t know why anyone would use a provider that was happy to warn people they aren’t trustworthy.

It sounds like they are making excuses to take their “war chest” of money for legal expenses and give themselves one final bonus. Would not be surprised if this donation request ends up being one extra final payout before they close the service and ride out into the sunset.

EDIT: lot of racists, fascists, and misogynists triggered by this comment lmao

Lol butthurt much? If you really didn’t care you wouldnt have felt the need to lash out like a child.

As good of a product as jellyfin might be, every time I run into someone promoting it I am reminded why I never use it.

Lol what help was provided? It was just Jellyfin spam that had nothing to do with what OP had asked.

If you just replaced Jellyfin with some obnoxious VPN voucher in that comment it would be obviously spam but because its something you like you can’t seem to see it.

If OP had been asking about Jellyfin and someone thought it was “helpful” to suggest they switch to Plex I would of said the same thing.

Jellyfin and Linux folks can’t help but tell people to switch to their service regardless if anyone was asking. Obnoxious userbases.

OP is asking for help with Plex. It has nothing to do with Jellyfin. Go away.

I have used both Mullvad and AirVPN for extended periods of time.

Mullvad is the gold standard. If you don’t need port forwarding and privacy is your biggest concern there is no better choice. Check out their server infrastructure, and tools such as DAITA / Leta / Mullvad browser to see how much they contribute to the privacy community.

Mullvad is also a much better UX. AirVPN Eddie client feels like its stuck in 1998.

Both are good VPNs - Mullvad just happens to be the best. The only real issue, from a privacy perspective, with AirVPN is they refuse to be audited so you are stuck just trusting they do what they say but OTOH they have been around for a long time and never given a reason not to be trusted.

If you do need port forwarding, AirVPN probably has the best implementation of it. They also have customizable DNS on a per device level which is also pretty cool.

Lol because there has never been an issue with randomized data. This also does nothing to alleviate the issue of privileged access. You are clueless.

I am not going through this wall of BS point by point but here is a fine example of how I know you have no clue what your talking about…

One place I strongly disagree with Graphene OS is the sandboxed Google services framework. They say having Google in a sandbox is more secure. It may be more secure, but it isn’t going to be as private as MicroG.

MicorG has privileged access to you phone, it literally has no privacy benefits over even standard Google Play. You are just choosing to trust MicroG with that level of access instead of Google.

Honestly just don’t use GOS if you don’t believe in its benefits or at least sack up and post this on their official forum.
