  • Most of them are quite realistic and would probably pass for real at a glance, but they all have flaws once you start looking.

    Top-left: Her earrings don’t appear to be attached to her ears. Bottom-left: The facial structure, eyes and lighting are manga style. Top-middle: This is the most natural looking one, but it looks like there might be issues with the hair strands on the left not being properly blended with the rest of the image if it was larger. Bottom-middle: If this was presented as a picture of a cosplayer as a video game character then I would 100% think it was real. Right: Passable. Even though her arm could be obscured by the folds of her dress like that in a real photo, it just looks a bit odd which is an immediate red flag.

    (I’m gonna look real dumb if you’re trolling us with real photos! 😅 )







  • I used Bitwarden for a long time and it was easy and convenient. I’ve since switched to KeePassXC which is less convenient, but it’s more private and secure because it’s offline. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone less tech savvy unless they are just going to need access to their passwords on one device as setting it up reliably with a cloud solution isn’t always simple.



  • I chose Mullvad because they don’t ask for any personal details and you can pay anonymously, which means that their service is privacy protecting by design. You don’t have to rely so much on trust.

    Proton seems to be a large and rapidly expanding company which looks like it’s trying to be a more privacy respecting competitor to Google’s many services. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I prefer companies that value stability over rapid expansion. I also don’t like relying on a potential single point of failure for everything. I have a Proton e-mail account but I don’t use any of their other services because I don’t want everything in the same place.
