Boy that is just a garbage sandwich, garbage in garbage out with twice as much garbage.

SteveKLord, in What is the community's opinion on Session and Session Automated Software?
@SteveKLord@slrpnk.net avatar

I have Session. Given that it’s a fork of Signal and more anonymous I’m inclined to trust it from a privacy standpoint but can’t say I have the knowledge to really critique it’s tech. People aren’t really on there yet, at least nobody I know, so I don’t have much use for it yet but I would if it catches on a bit more at some point.

max, in Why do you think they don't show Brave here?

Same for librewolf and mullvad browser, not so many people use it.

Unuoctium, in Privacy Checkup Quiz: How well do you protect your privacy and security?

Thanks for sharing, OP.

I got a score of 59% for “You’re on the right path.” I’m not a privacy guru, just taking extra steps where easy and non-impeding to my career. Getting a score like this made me feel… recognized for where I’m at without condescension, which was nice.

Do you have an address? Or are you moving around? A PO box is good for people who don’t stay in one place very long, but want to receive mail. Whether you can use that at the bank, the dmv, the IRS, or voting depends entirely upon which state you live in.

What you are likely referring to is a “nomad” residence. There are some states that allow this, such as Florida. There is a process to getting this status and you would want to do that before opening a new account in that state.

Those info sites aren’t built from bank records. They’re built from public records databases like voters, property, taxes, legal cases, and government actions, including stuff like just showing up to the city council to complain.

You could conceivably open an account in another country where they’re very private about banking info, but it wouldn’t help your case, and it would probably be a huge hassle for your day to day life.

Sounds like instead of the whitepages, you’ll end up on an FBI list.

/s sorry for the non-answer…I dont really have any practicle advice beyond being careful you don’t end up suspected of criminal activity. Your privacy will really go down hill if the gov. is actually paying attention to you.

I believe it is illegal to misrepresent your permanent residence to your bank.

meyotch, in How Do I Avoid Giving Home Address to Bank?

Wait till you learn about phonebooks, the OG white pages. I don’t think banks are the source of the info that appears on the ‘white pages’ type sites.

If you own a home, your address is already a matter of public record.

You either get paid in cash or get physical checks and cash them.

dan1101, in How to get a private car

The average salesman will act like they know but they don’t. About the only choice for a private vehicle is going to be an older vehicle. New ones are getting less private and larger and more expensive. Go with an older but we’ll cared for Honda or Toyota.

Getting a psychic to give them a suspect through the shadow realm or something would probably be more accurate.
