Thanks for the browser recommendations.

I switched to the Mullvad browser. The other recommendation, LibreWolf, provides the following warning on install which scared me away: "Warning: librewolf has been deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01."

Could you kindly support that statement and explain why you feel that way.

To dismiss him as being “devoid of information” is lazy and cheap. He had scholars on his team shape his message.

You can buy prepaid SIM cards with cash, and without hassle, in the US as well.

You can do this in many countries, I believe, as well as online through services offered in exchange for crypto.

You didn't define where "here" is for you. Mexico is a better option than the US because the retail price of a SIM card with a number and service is around 50 pesos (maybe lower).

In Mexico you can buy prepaid SIM cards with cash, and without an ID, at convenience stores such as 7-11 or Oxxo.

> Is this actually a problem you see? I'm going on 15 years in the industry and haven't seen any issues training people up on a new language in just a couple months.

Some years ago the largest company using Elixir in the US, or at least on the west coast, abandoned Elixir because they couldn't find enough developers.

Yes. The adoption is poor despite the loud voices.

No, they're going 20-something mph in perhaps a 20mph zone: the author stated kilometers per hour.

Would be interesting to know how much data leaks on a new iPhone with some of the iOS privacy settings enabled and a handful of popular apps installed (WhatsApp, Instagram, Google Maps, Uber, etc).

And then if you use a commercial VPN with DNS ad-blocking enabled, how much more does this help?

Tailscale is not a good option for this (hiding your geo-location from work). As the article states,

'Additionally, in the case of a DERP-relayed connection, if one were to run a “traceroute” on your connection, they would see the public DERP relay server IP address, since it is routing your traffic in the middle. This IP obviously belongs to a commercial/enterprise IP block, but it’s only visible by running a traceroute which is able to see every “hop” your traffic makes. Whether or not your employer’s telemetry would pick up on this is what would determine whether this method would still work for you or not.'

Tailscale is not built for anonymity and contains strange surprises.

Why am I being voted down for pointing out, validly, that many people disagree? Why the rush to censor?
