The link typo hasn’t been fixed in hours,

Whoa, hey, they’re not paid on-call. Give it a few days.



How do they check that it isn’t Steamdeck? Start there. Maybe with strace?



This is illegal, they are required to be opt-in, default toggled off.



For seven years, the tracking industry has used the TCF as a legal cover for Real-Time Bidding (RTB), the vast advertising auction system that operates behind the scenes on websites and apps. RTB tracks what Internet users look at and where they go in the real world. It then continuously broadcasts this data to a host of companies, enabling them to keep dossiers on every Internet user.[2] Because there is no security in the RTB system it is impossible to know what then happens to the data. As a result, it is also impossible to provide the necessary information that must accompany a consent request.[3]

In short, RTB makes it impossible for the user to know where his data goes, which is a requirement for consent.





I mean, there are a gazilion of calculator apps around?


Generally browsing via VPN is not equal to more privacy. It just tells the websites you’re where the server is instead of where you are, while the server might log your full browsing habits even though they promise not to. While legitimate interests, like, ripping you off because you live in a rich country or making sure you’re not in a criminal country, makes browsing with VPN a bad experience.

Instead, you could fake your location at least in Firefox’ about:config.

// fake geo location (HB Zürich here)
user_pref("geo.prompt.testing", true);
user_pref("geo.prompt.testing.allow", true);
user_pref("geo.provider.testing", true);
user_pref("geo.provider.network.url", "data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 47.377, "lng": 8.540}, "accuracy": 2700.0}"");

There’s Zettlr and Typora for WYSIWYG md.

Well, here’s a copy&paste from the KSP JNSQ modpage. Had mostly the forum header and iframes to clean up, not much else. Made in Typora.

Original here.


Your client downloads a XML file and parses it and then maybe downloads some images. There.

If the client itself doesn’t track you, it’s as private as online gets.


Is this legal in EU? I mean not the tool itself but just enabling it by default.











Non-OS stats software in general is not automatically lacking in privacy or security

Sure is. It’s only that in this case you are sure that your messages are sufficiently protected, so you can send them over a untrusted service.


Well, not useless per se, if you don’t log in. But troublesome.


About the VPN, if you do it for privacy, it’s almost useless for Youtube and you trust your browsing history to the VPN provider.


Title, quick summary and image URL are in the RSS/Atom file itself (a XML file), everything more is done by the app parsing the webpage. But i think there’s no problem with privacy.


I understand using VPN to circumvent region blocking. But for Youtube?

Aah, for that situation with some US-providers selling user data?



Afwall+ (paid version) has tasker integration i think?


Well, first off, seems like you’re mixing software-security (Phone not updated anymore) and privacy (security as in a threat model) together. Secondly, yes, disabling JS helps with both. To do that, either use uBlock Origin and check the mark in settings or google the about:confg key to do the same natively.


Ah, no, bad wording. By switching company after a few years, you get a far larger increase in payment than if you stay. At least in IT.


and not reciprocate any loyalty they receive.

You get far bigger payment increase if you are not loyal.



It does support un/compressing of archives and access to any system folders, if you give it root (not possible without root for any app, except if you have a zero day exploit).



How private, meaning trackers and stuff? Here 's this. Btw, why does it need camera?

If you meant “how secure”, that mainly depends on gocryptfs and cryfs.



Using fluffy chat i have none of those issues. But voice/video calling is buggy, using the official server.
