  • Maybe most people using Mailbox know about this but I’ll still mention that using Mailbox kinda requires having your own domain.

    Reason is the same as Posteo (unless Posteo changed something lately) : mail adresses will get recycled after some time when you stop using the service and close your account.

    Most other providers blacklist adresses so they can’t get reused when an account gets deleted.






  • It’s not a total ban of VPNs, I went to read a bit on the subject (easier since I’m french), it’s just that some politicians came up with a few amendments relative to the bill called “SREN” which very literally translates to “Securing and regulating the digital space”. As you may guess that bill also ticks the “child porn” box as a reason why it came to existence.

    One amendment proposes to ban mobile VPNs that do no comply with European or french regulations in the context of app stores. So it’s only on mobile, nothing about desktops.

    Of course it’s inapplicable in practice.

    Several amendements already failed due to backlash, one was about preventing people from posting on social networks if they use a VPN.


  • Kinda defeats the purpose (for me at least). I didn’t use revanced but if I recall correctly, to subscribe to channels, you have to use a Google account. I closed all my Google accounts a few years ago, so having apps like Libretube and Newpipe is nice to keep track of new videos from channels I like.

    Also it’s still the YouTube app so it comes with their algorithm and the trending stuff I really hate…Unless we can hide it now? With original Vanced we couldn’t I think.
