Good point, however, no one should be promoting ExpressVPN as any kind of secure option in the first place. It’s owned by a person who is notorious for creating and deploying malware.

Fair enough. I could be happy to purchase if given more/better options. In fact, having the ability to do business from different platforms or self host is smart. Not having all your eggs in one basket is preferable. I was speaking more to people/businesses that rely on Facebook as their singular point of business. And my pet peeve that frustrates to the maximum is business support solely on X/Twit - That is so low effort and unprofessional.

Last time I looked it didn’t -https://posteo.de/en/site/faq. However, Tuta does - https://tuta.com/blog/posts/own-domain-email. To refocus on OP’s question, I would be happy to get a “professional business email” from a Posteo address.

Posteo is great for business. It’s a professional and competent company that respects your privacy to a good degree, and has a clue about security. In a sense it’s MORE professional than trying to DIY, unless you really know what you’re doing. I would feel encouraged to see a business use Posteo when I receive the email. It tells me that your business probably cares a little about security and/or privacy and possibly the environment too. Total kudos for using Posteo from me.

What I think is completely unprofessional is to use your ISP’s address for business email. The number one unprofessional business move, in my opinion, is to have your business website on Facebook/Meta, Twitter or any other enshitified corporate social media site. You won’t get my business. I’ll go anywhere else no matter how inconvenient.

Here’s a tip to make using Firefox profiles easy.

1. go to about:profiles and create a profile. Let’s call this one “better” because it has the Betterfox css added. (an example)
2. On Linux typing firefox in a terminal will launch the default profile. Typing firefox -p better will launch the “better” profile. If you’re on OS X or Windows just find out what the equivalent command would be to execute the launch.
3. Go to wherever you need to in your operating system to create custom keyboard shortcuts. For me that’s Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Create a new shortcut with the following information.

Name: Firefox profile better

Command: firefox -p better

Keys: enter the keys you want to use

How to choose keys;

My desktop environment uses super(windows) + b to launch the default browser, which happens to be Firefox. So for me it makes sense to use something like super + shift + b for consistency, and easy to remember. If you have a profile with Arkenfox css it could be super + shift + a. Regardless, try for a mnemenic and consistent solution.

Now whenever you want to launch a new instance of a Firefox profile just tap the keys you assigned.

has suggested that the solution to the crisis may be a Finnish model, which is a ‘housing first’ approach that aims to give everyone a home.

Fixing homelessness by giving people a home! I’m not sure that’s going to work…facepalm

See, you educated yourself! I only wanted to point you to official documentation with the hope you get in the habit of starting there (with any tech). Ask a hundred people and probably get a hundred differing answers. Look at Stack Overflow and sites like that where there’s always multiple answers. Thankfully there’s usually one with a green tick that is likely the best answer. Anyway, you now have it in a nutshell - No data to recover = The point of using Tails (without persistence). There’s no such thing as permanent total online anonymity.

I think the first responder @grant did understand and answered in a relevant way. I’ll answer your question with a question. What is the point of using VPN if your ISP can correlate times from logs? I think you should get on the Tails site and educate yourself further to better understand use case for Tails.

Yep.

Agreed! What would be amazing though, is a manufacturer who could make a modern safe bare-bones vehicle that didn’t have the tech installed at all. If you want tech you could BYO.

It can’t be illegal because you agree to allow them when you purchase the new vehicle. It’s all there in the T&C and PP, which no one ever reads. Don’t like it? Don’t buy new cars. I won’t.

Google are totally into blocking ads. That was the whole catch line for selling WEI. “We’ll block all the random ads for you and keep you safe”. What they didn’t say was that they would replace the blocked ads with Google bought ads.

Taking the win. Celebrating the fact there was a big enough backlash to get Google to pull their head in.
