I use Fedora and I don’t understand this
I just want to pound my coffee and get to work. I finally gravitated to Fedora because it’s clean and just works. Too much setup on my Arch and Gentoo installs with way too much breakage. It’s fun to customize and tweak distros like those to an obsessive degree, until you actually need to get work done.
snap would be better then installing from manual archives, but it’s comparisons are actually to your distro’s package manager and flatpak.
Cool but the proper solution is that they shouldn’t have access to this data at all. It should be either stored locally, or encrypted on their servers. Companies not being able to access their consumer data should be the default.
No way that’s crazy (I didn’t read any of that)
I tried and couldn’t find it on my system. I run Linux btw.
Go into uBO settings and then filters and enable all the non-language filters. You won’t need privacy badger or that cookie addon anymore.
The free market is going very well here
Also all the ad blocking extensions would have to continue maintaining forks of their own projects for increasingly obscure manifest V2 Chromium browsers.
yeah but it’s GAMER so it’s okay
looks like the bigger issue is hvec itself. Also the support is extremely spotty with all the other browsers as well, with it still only having limited support in Chrome as well depending on your hardware.
Or just use av1 instead. I’ve literally never run into this as an issue before lol.
They’re already a fork of Chromium… Also it doesn’t matter much since they use the Google extension store, which disabled uBO.
You could probably install and handle a manifest V2 extension by installing the xpi file manually. But as a developer, the users who would actually do this is a small fraction of the previous user base.
So how do you justify your limited manpower to be spent on that increasingly obscure user base? It may as well be removed anyways at that point.
Eh, I’d still take Chromium anything over the dumpster fire that is Safari
What you’re talking about is webcompat and is a very complicated issue. Also I’ve talked to some Mozilla devs who gave me multiple examples of Chromium rendering something wrong, and they’d have to intentionally break Firefox to render it incorrectly too, just so the end user would get a more consistent experience. Of course these issues happen more and more when things are only tested for one browser.
That depends on the DE, not the distro.
If you’re following citations, may as well just search for the citations themselves… aka just a regular search engine.
Not sure why they mention AI search, as it’s practically non-existent right now.
Tldr for those who are confused, since Android already does support side loading and even seamless updates for third-party app stores (like Droid-ify, etc), these are mostly legal changes.
Basically Google can’t force Google IAP as the only method of payment in apps anymore, can’t block companies from advertising how to find them on non-Play Store android app stores. So good changes overall.
Also when you download third party apks, on Android, while it’s still relatively easy to do, it does give bit of a scary warning saying security issues are on the user for doing so. This creates the assumption that Play Store is the only secure way to get apps on Android, and the OS gives all sorts of special security exceptions to the Play Store for that. Obviously other secure app stores can exist, so this can be seen as an anti-competitive method since Google is exempt from their own scary apk install message.
What is he talking about, public WiFi can easily poison and monitor your DNS requests (most people don’t know or use encrypted DNS), and there’s still tons of non-https traffic leaks all over the place that are plain text. Even if encrypted, there’s still deep packet inspection. VPNs can mitigate DPI techniques and shift the trust from an easily snoopable public WiFi to the VPN’s more trustworthy exit servers.
This guy really needs to elaborate on what he’s trying to say when the cyber security field very much disagrees with this stance. I’m not a huge fan of Proton, but they aren’t doing anything wrong here. You should use it for public Wi-Fi.
I’m very glad I got it out of my system when I was younger and was debating on Reddit over the stupidest of shit
Now I’m too busy irl, and if comment replies aren’t productive or entertaining to me, I just swipe them away and forget they ever existed.
As much as I wish this were true, this is in a bubble where Windows isn’t already preinstalled on everything.
