I don’t understand why a lot of websites go long ways into getting country from IP and then language from country instead of using directly the language reported by browser.

I recall it was something of a challenge between writers of two tv shows to make the most ridiculous hacking/computing scene.

I might be wrong.

Edit: I don’t find anything online, so I must be wrong.

Why not using donations to take them to court? Sue them and give money back to OG projects.

Why?

I don’t see any popup with ublock origin. Anyway, inside the description, I linked the OG youtube video referenced in the article.

Qwant (french) got its own indexing.

Edit: the linked article isn’t about search engines but big tech companies.

Wasn’t aware of permission prompting, really cool

It’s a live experiment. How much a platform can enshittify before people leave? We are still going to find it out.

As of AV software I would like to point to ClamAV and Rkhunter.
Both should be available in most distro’s package repository.

Why not just Wilber? Just like the mascot.

Remove the store app and replace it with a daemon which does the updates in background.

By not having Google Play Services, isn’t this prevented?

If you turn off notification history on Android, should be enough to avoid such “attacks”. Hiding sensitive content inside notifications only hides it in the lock screen. If your OS keeps a clear log of them, it’s useless.

Edit: didn’t know Signal actually has settings to hide their own notifications. I was thinking about Android’s “hide sensitive content” setting.

Nintendo isn’t involved

Worst timing for sure

Still better than Discord, I guess

LibreFind

Gecko is the browser engine developed by Mozilla and used by Firefox.

It’s better for adblockers, since Google blocked access to features used by them in chromium.
For a performance comparison check this out.
From a security point of view, Blink/Chromium got more people working on it (Google, Microsoft, community, etc.) so potential vulnerabilities get fixed faster but by being way more popular, way more vulnerabilities are found regularly and exploited in the wild.

It’s android, Fennec for gecko or Vanadium for chromium

Good point you got there.
