It is not. But if OP is worried about state attackers, the network may be a problem too

How is this technology?

“GigaWind turbines would decrease the cost of energy by 20 to 35 percent while increasing output by 10 to 20 percent” - efficiency matters

The cellular modems are vulnerable to attacks from towers, so if you’re worried about things like stingrays, you should also worry about malware installed from cell towers.

Anything connected to the cellular network should be considered compromised, it doesn’t matter if you’re using a SIM from your own country or a local one if it goes through towers of the country you’re visiting.

If you’re so concerned, turn on airplane mode before leaving the network you trust and take a separate device for sharing internet over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

I have no idea, to be honest

Grayjay is built on this idea

Nothing, it’s great

The Briar client is missing simple features on Android and essential features on desktop (you can’t copy messages for example). It’s a nice protocol though.

The app is not important if it’s an open standard with an open API or open p2p access, which CBDCs will not be.

Do you live in some other EU where government apps are open?

Yeah, a national bank will for sure do it in a transparent, nondiscriminatory way /s

You’ll be able to only use it using a closed app requiring google play services, safety net and with an account linked to your identity. Which means that either all your transactions are public and undeniably linked to you, or the blockchain is not transparent and open to manipulation. And they will find a way to “prevent terrorism and protect children” by blocking certain accounts.

Then use your plastic card instead of an app

Like a humidifier is for me, I’d be so happy to have 40% for a week but it rarely goes under 60

I work in IT and pairing bluetooth is sometimes so finnicky i give up for a few days. I can accept that I’m not that great at IT but I don’t think 99% of people don’t have these problems.

And it’s not a thing you do one time, most of these gadgets need re-pairing every sone time for whatever reason.

Other parts of your system very likely require the apt ffmpeg. Keep it, or at least note the packages that apt wants to uninstall because they depend on ffmpeg

I don’t think there’s a simple toggle for that, I pasted your question into chatgpt and it gave a very reasonable bash script + systemd service for monitoring that. I’m not going to paste ai slop here though.

More than one European prime minister spoke loudly about a coming war. Whether they mean it or it’s an excuse to do fascist stuff is another topic. There’s also the Russian sabotage going on.
