I'd argue the system is working quite well, every individual and/or community has the liberty to choose what to do about Meta.

That's what federation is all about, no central power taking decisions in behalf of everyone else.

basically Newpipe but only source available, not really free software or open source, so they are restricting your freedoms.

Just keep using Newpipe instead.

As a long term Firefox user, I've been disappointed with Mozilla's decisions in the recent years, but this is awesome. This is the kind of features Firefox should be receiving instead of useless UI changes.

As long as this allows running local, free software models I don't see the drawback of including this.

My main issue with ChatGPT and similar products is that they use my data to train their models. Running a model locally (like Llama) solves this problem, but running LLMs require extremely powerful GPUs, specially the bigger ones like Llama 70b.

So dedicated hardware for this is a nice thing for those that want it.

the discussion is happening here: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73

Someone working at Proton has commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.

If you want my personal take:

It's very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form, which I see as an attack on freedom, journalism and activism.

I'm not a fan of Protonmail of any sort and in fact I consider that their privacy is lacking... but I really hope they can talk some sense into this guy. This block list seems to be used by a lot of webs that will start blocking virtually every private email provider.

(Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don't seem to have a "contributor" or "owner" badge, so idk. Maybe they are just very angry at privacy and anonymity on the internet)

the thumbnail is just cringe. more of a script kiddie vibe than a real programmer.

this makes use of an old windows specific vulnerability. Linux is only mentioned on the title, not again in the whole article. clickbait.

edit: downvote me if you want, but the original article didn't say a thing about Linux.

the answer is yes, unless you're on GrapheneOS. Google Services is a privileged app and therefore it can bypass permissions as it sees fit.

GrapheneOS (optionally) installs it as a unprivileged app, which you can restrict permissions to. Still, I wouldn't recommend installing it since they have extensive telemetry.

This is like the third different new battery technology I've seen today.

I'll believe it when it's available for purchase.

fuck paying Nintendo for life. I hope he can move to a country where Nintendo won't be able to enforce anything and start a new life. He committed a victimless crime which shouldn't even be a crime IMO and even worse, he was imprisoned for it. And now he has to live as a slave for Nintendo the rest of his life?

I don't really know which countries would legally shield him from Nintendo's bullshit tho.

this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.

Let's be honest, Gmail, being a Google service, was condemned to have an awful UI which can't work without loading megabytes of JS into your browser.

The good news are that they still support mail clients, which everyone should be using except for those occasions you're working from a device you do not own.

The bad news are that Gmail still analyzes your emails in the server side, and uses them to serve you tracking ads and train AI models. So maybe switching providers altogether is a better option for those who have a choice.

Since most of Google’s revenue comes from tracking users across the internet and offering them personalized ads, it will be interesting to see how the company strikes a balance between user privacy and revenue generation.

Isn't it obvious? Google own's the proxies. And judging by the look of this, they are going to act as a a Man In The Middle for HTTPS, so they will be actually able to see everyone's plain text connections. This is not a privacy feature, but a privacy nightmare. Like everything else on Chrome, tbh.

Edit: I don't know if they will be breaking HTTPS or no, since I didn't see the details of how this works. But even if they don't see your plain text traffic, they are logging your every request, which is scary.

this is whitewashing Apple. It was introduced in iOS 14. A trillion dollar company like apple should have had this fixed long before.

It's certainly not impossible. But this content is actively removed when detected. So that person must have found something very recently posted before it could have been removed.

Twitter has a high interest in removing CSAM, even if Musk now allows pro nazi tweets. CSAM is illegal and they would have to shutdown if they didn't immediately delete such content.

that's not really Mozilla's fault, users are too locked into Google and that's ultimately Google's fault.

Although I don't like at all that Mozilla is funded by Google and testified in their favor.

Edge is an euphemism for Microsoft Chrome.

It's a rebranded chromium with some extra bloat. Just like his older brother Chinese Chromium, Opera, and their edgy cousin, Microsoft Chromium. All following the example of Papa Chrome.

the adblock detection is happening at the client side with JavaScript code executed in my browser. As the original comment said: my device, my freedom. I'll be blocking any JavaScript I don't like and nobody can stop me from doing that.

half of these are not even barely security related.

and if you meant privacy, well, definitely none of the images either. SimpleX, SearXNG, Tor and I2P

PS: I find it hilarious that you include proprietary software like Vivaldi or Obsidian. That is how flawed this post is.
