i didn't see any mentions of eich using dark money can you link me to more info? that's interesting

according to the minutes of research i did ;-) i got the impression the service was disabled by default. i don't know the tech details otherwise so i don't know if it made the system vulnerable or unstable in any way. i didn't find anything like that.

more to the point is that they should have said that VPN resources were being installed

thanks, but it's a performance/timing/codec issue on an older laptop as the same sites work fine on a much higher spec machine

the VPN was a feature of the software at the time and not enabled unless you signed up but as you point out if software changes its service without explicitly telling users these days it feels bad

good point, i think this feature just makes it easier to access TOR domain sites without an extra browser rather than being the anonymity tool that TOR browser is

they have not acted as malware since correcting this mistake

that was before 2008 as far as i can tell, has eich and/or the organisation continued to act homophobicly?

this is disabled by default, i think that is the BAT system that also uses crypto somehow

i also made a handful of tweaks to tidy up the UI, easily done in the settings

 

i think it might in theory
