De-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.

So root and flash your phone today!

Mr O’Grady accepted that the sign was an obstacle.

However, he said it is accepted that Sligo County Council complied with the Department of Transport Traffic Manual.

So basically, it's a government-approved killing, as a 85cm-wide sign in an already-undersize 1.2m cycle lane is both an obvious potentially-fatal crash hazard and perfectly legal. When will Ireland protect cyclists better?

Did they in this case?

And the better response would be to take steps to improve public health in order to reduce the care costs, but that's too much like hard work, so let's just raise the retirement age and sweat some taxes out of those who remain healthy for longer.

Frequent software updates, device incompatibility, and short upgrade cycles make systems expensive to maintain

Well done, smart home gouger companies: you've killed the goose and turned the promise of better homes into an expectation of random unwanted oversize future upgrade bills.

You can create an access the inbox through Tor at protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion

That's just such an easy link to memorise, isn't it? Just like the New Emergency Number

infosec.pub appears to be in Hetzner Online GmbH's Falkenstein hosting. They probably also own the hardware.

I'm sceptical. Name me a server and I'll show you a company involved.

For sure, I know this, but privacy does not come first for any of them and it was wrong of Proton ever to say it did. To them, their survival comes before yours, so they will betray you to the Swiss courts if needed.

Here you go: https://proton.me/mail

Just scroll down. Each selling point is marked with title case text, followed by their reasoning.

I don't find your earlier quote on that page anywhere.

Can you find me a way back machine link to their website where they told you that they aren’t subject to or otherwise do not comply with Swiss law?

Why would I do that? My claim is not that they ever said that explicitly, but that their marketing claimed 'your privacy came first' without any similar-size mention how it would be limited by Swiss law. It was not in their interest to explain that the Swiss courts can order them to track and shop French climate activists.

Run your own? Great, but you'll almost certainly be getting a company to connect it up.

Publicly available from whom? Companies!

I may sometimes wish community-owned internet became the norm, but it didn't, so companies are involved almost everywhere.

That's not what some evidence said, although Giuffre said both 17 and 18 at different times. Also, she alleges other 17-year-olds were involved, which is an allegation contradicting your posts saying no allegations.
