Start the debate with food. You say to them, "Don't you agree that processed sugary foods are bad for you, but yet they are very popular among society, and in fact the norm?" The person reluctantly agrees. Then: "So these processed food manufacturers are willing to harm the majority of the population, and even though it's bad for them, the vast majority of consumers eat it. Now this same premise is how most aspects of our lives work. It's true for Fiat Money vs Cryptocurrency It's true for Social Media vs Nostr It's true for Keynes vs Hayek It's true for Windows/Mac vs Linux It's true for WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord vs Signal/XMPP/others It's true for iPhone/Stock vs Degoogled Android It's true for Tor/Mullvad Browser vs HydraVeil The majority is usually wrong, against their own interests. And society's gatekeeper "influencers" go along with it, because they profit from the groups that seized power. I'm not saying blindly follow my words. I'm begging you to not blindly follow the words of my enemy, and evaluate for yourself.

SimpleX tries to stop server-side metadata that would come from a targeted attack, beyond what XMPP can provide. And the example used for it is that the CIA compromised a Russian XMPP server, with the VPS provider's help (Hetzner), to get metadata only. But 99% of people should not be worried about their self-host XMPP server being targeted by the CIA for metadata only. On the other hand, HydraVeil tries to stop browser fingerprint metadata, for any service Tor Browser breaks. This is something literally everyone has to deal with regularly, as with a browser you directly interact with the enemy. And Librewolf, Brave, Firefox, and others are very leaky. A single use with a big tech site brands and fingerprints it completely. But yet "influencers" gush over SimpleX, for under 1% of the population, And disregard, censor, or ignore HydraVeil, for 99% of the population. Why? Because the SimpleX dev got funded by Bill Gates to literally PAY influencers like Techlore's “NewOil” Nathan Bartram with the Surveillance Report to shill it. And then what a coincidence, he literally tells his fans to ignore our project when they ask him about it, because we have no fiat bank accounts to rain on him. Nathan Bartram told his podcast fans that he sides with Google and Facebook, over me. How do you not see that the very purpose of HydraVeil is that you can continue to use those services in a more private way?

Nostr users respond more to memes than people's life work, So we'll put memes in the releases, !! HydraVeil 1.1.2 Release !! Fixed: Loading error for Arch & Fedora.

Whonix Compared to HydraVeil. Very different projects with fairly different goals, use-cases, tech stacks, problems, and philosophies. Whonix: Tries to make everyone the same. HydraVeil: Tries to make every profile different. Whonix: Biggest threat is state-level targeted attacks, with breakout of Tor browser HydraVeil: Biggest threat is the centralization of the internet, and a few huge giants overseeing your entire life. Where 99% of people can't avoid their invasive fingerprinting, without this tool. This article goes over not only the differences in the projects, but also differing philosophies on Tor itself: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/whonix-compared-to-hydraveil/very-different.html

TOTP leak ?! Vibe coding ain't working out for Proton already! Today Proton fixed a new bug in its new Authenticator app for iOS that logged users' sensitive TOTP secrets in plaintext, potentially exposing multi-factor authentication codes if the logs were shared.

Protonmail is vibe coded They are dumb enough to put the cursor rules files on Github. Quote: "You are an Senior SWE at Proton and make sure you do not send any information that is potentially secure in nature. You specialize in building highly-scalable and maintainable Frontend Systems." The irony of telling AI not to leak sensitive info, when the fact that you've publicly told it, is the leak itself. And look at the first part with "an senior SWE". They can't even write grammatically correct AI rules. And that's who you trust to encrypt your life secrets?
