Moon/PayWithMoon was way better, convince me otherwise.

If an app on one device connects to an app on another via Veilid, it shouldn't be possible for either client to know the other's IP address or location from that connectivity, which is good for privacy, for instance. The app makers can't get that info, either.

Is that considered a new thing? I don't think I've ever encountered a P2P service/protocol that also masks IP addresses.

When you hide read posts, are my own posts hidden? Is there a distinction between read posts on my feed versus read posts on a specific community page? Or maybe it just hides everything?

Well, you use Linux, maybe Win11 is screwing me in that case.

IMHO that's a highly requested feature.

I did that, several times. I tried it natively on Tor Browser for Windows 11. I also tried it in a virtual machine on Tor browser for TailsOS.

On Tails, only resetting the VM did manage to prevent fingerprint(dot)com from tracking the browser, just closing and opening the browser up did not.

What if the site was even able to fingerprint my Tor browser?

I didn't change anything in the browser settings menu. Only thing I did after loading the site for the first time was to click "block canvas fingerprinting".

I'm on Windows 11 BTW.

Did you get any spam calls?

Why do you consider yourself an extremist? In what sense are you extreme? I'm just curious.
