How do VPNs operate legally?
ISPs get legal notices from companies and are liable if it is found that their users are downloading illegal torrents and they don't take action against those users.
How are VPNs any different? By using a VPN, aren't you essentially transferring your accountability to the VPN provider? Wouldn't courts find that since this or that VPN service's exit server was used in ____ illegal online activity, they're responsible and must cease operations?
How do VPNs operate? Are laws different for them? If yes, then how does that benefit the state? Wouldn't the state benefit from treating VPNs the same as ISPs so they get more control?

Shrink size available is very less compared to the free space available in the drive
I wanted to dual boot fedora with Windows 11 and decided to partition my C drive but it shows the size available to shrink as around 900mb even though I have more than 250gb of available space in my drive.
I have already dual booted once before on this machine before switching back to Windows only and I would like to get back into linux but I can't seem to solve this issue.
From my research, the problem is caused by some immovable files resulting in discontiguous space in the drive? I have tried various solutions available online like disabling page files, deleting restore points and using 3rd party software (but all of them required paid plans to defrag/shrink my drive), none of them helped (though I think disabling page files got my available shrink space from 500mb to 900mb, essentially the problem still persists). I have also tried the inbuilt defrag utility of windows but the problem persists.
One thing that I haven't tried is trying to shrink through GParted because I have t
Did you mean Krita instead of 'Keira'?

I already use proton on PC, I needed one for mobile as well hence Calyx caught my eye.

Is CalyxVPN reputable?
I came across CalyxVPN while browsing through F-droid, it seems to be offered by the same people who make CalyxOS. I couldn't find much discourse about it online, is it reputable enough to use?
My use case would be to hide whatever I do online from my ISP (I'm not torrenting, just browsing).
And yes, I know free VPNs are untrustworthy in most cases but this seems to come from a somewhat privacy respecting background so I was curious.
Yeah, I made this post after reading that article. There is clearly a problem with how domains and their renewals are managed. I'm not sure what a solution would look like, though.
What happens to my domain, website and email when I die?
A lot of folks suggest getting your own domain name for having control over your online presence but the question that I have always had is what would happen to them when I die?
Wouldn't the domains eventually expire and anyone else would be able to register it and access my email attached to that domain? With that email, they can theoretically get into all my accounts which don't have 2FA on (a lot of the sites just don't have the option to turn on 2FA) via the 'Forgot my password' services?
Similarly, if I have a blog or website that I have poured my heart and soul into for my entire life, wouldn't that just go down forever when the domain expires? Maybe services like The Internet Archive would help in that regard but I don't know how many people are actively searching for an archived version of a website when they can't access it on it's actual domain.
I understand that after I die, all of this wouldn't by my concern and wouldn't matter but I still think about this a lot.

I use Ecosia, it plants trees with the profits from its ad revenue! Results are sourced from Bing and Google.
This worked, thanks!
Solution: Go to Settings > Home > Enable Shortcuts > Go to a new tab > Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon > Click on the 3 dots menu > Unpin
Yes, my default search engine is Ecosia.
I haven't changed it manually though, I installed their extension and it changed the default; if this matters in any way.

Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema
Over the past days, two popular chat services have accused each other of having undisclosed government ties. According to Signal president Meredith Whittaker, Telegram is not only “notoriously insecure” but also “routinely cooperates with governments behind the scenes.” Telegram founder Pavel Durov,...

I'm sorry if I sound naive but what's wrong with using a mobile?
I thought people use traditional music players like iPod and Tangara only because of their retro feel, is there something else to it?
Just FYI, in India the president (head of the state) is more or less a ceremonial figure. It's the prime minister (head of the government) that you're probably talking about.
There's also https://justbeamit.com which iirc also functions in a similar way.

A good, privacy respecting and FOSS PDF viewer for Android?
Currently, I'm just using the default 'Drive PDF Viewer' on my Android devices, would love to switch to something FOSS and non-google. Any good recommendations?
If it's available on F-Droid, that would be preferable.

Can I follow Mastodon accounts from my Lemmy account?
We can follow lemmy accounts from Mastodon but I was wondering if we can do it the other way round?
I tried searching the username of some Masodon accounts into the search bar on Lemmy and nothing came up but when I search up the username of any Lemmy account, they do show up.
So, I'm guessing it's not yet possible?
