    There’s no shortcut you can use to achieve things simply, especially if you want actual anonymity (an extremely high bar). Installing GrapheneOS is the bare minimum (Calyx doesn’t even come close). Then you need to avoid services that ask for personally identifiable info, use VPN for everything (and use public wifi for initial setup), avoid a KYC SIM or SIM in general (also use airplane mode / wifi whenever you can).

    But really I’m guessing you don’t actually need proper anonymity (privacy in general is more reasonable).








  • Can’t speak for other cryptos (generally stay away), but Monero at least has a track record of being actually private/anonymous (unlike btc) and generally doesn’t fluctuate in price nearly as much as others (something the devs try to design into it). Several trusted privacy-focused services (VPNs, VoIP, etc.) accept it as a payment method. If I want to donate to Lemmy, I’d rather do so in a way that keeps my bank from knowing the details and keeping a record of that for who knows how long.








  • Lmao. Who told you I have “nothing but hate” for the country? You talk like you know me. I hate your mainstream political parties and the people who bend over backwards to do genocide apologetics, especially when we know that in a few decades, a lot of those people will tut-tut at “our past mistakes” and do some land acknowledgements style performative bullshit. There’s plenty about Canada and specific Canadians I very much like. But of course it’s easier for you to dehumanize people with “they hate us cause they anus” rhetoric like most right wingers love to do.

    Side note: By the way, I came here for career and economic opportunities above all else (opportunities that my country didn’t have because of your dear UK whose inbred pedo leaders you still feature on your currency, and the US who you’re basically a colony of). It was a pure business transaction - your government gets much needed immigrants and an infusion of tax money, inflated tuition fees, and living expenses into their economy, and I get to be here. I have no obligation to “like” or be “loyal” to anyone (the whole premise of having loyalty for a capitalist country is questionable anyways). Despite all that, I do feel those things to some extent because that’s just human nature I guess. Your country is not owed any of it.
