to respond to the title, I’m not sure about that. your problems are with the samsung system, not with all the custom roms. I think it’s not only graphene that’s the solution. It’s even only available for a little subset of the phones.

afaik duckduckgo knows all of this.

site: limits the site to search on, even shows a warning for that.
“quotes” make sure all results contain the word.
-apple make sure you wont see results where the page contains this word

where I live those run off of a little solar panel. if we’re talking about the same thing, I doubt that it has ALPR function

that’s a good way to discount any real situation

it seems so. makes so much sense I can’t even comprehend it

it shouldn’t be hard if you run your own I2P router. I think you so this in the tunnel manager menu

that about:config hack is neat, but it would be much betterif firefox supported container tabs like on desktop.

Unfortunately since they moved back to their mercury based internal code forge, it’s become quite difficult to track the state of unimplemented features, so who knows if they even have it in mind

Torrenting has a very obvious digital fingerprint, so even if you’re using a VPN, your ISP knows you’re torrenting.

even through vpn? how? there are many other useful (and legal) things you can use that practically always makes traffic

sometimes people keep a container for the vpn/proxy, and set up the other one to use the network of the other container

I already commented on this, but do they actually block you from setting up multiple devices with the same key?

I don’t think that’s possible to block, but it could lead to problems (responses not arriving) when both devices try to use the same key.

how did you pass through the gpu if it’s not visible on that list?

I don’t have any recommendations, but if you download the table of hardware spreadsheet, you can use libreoffice to filter devices by column. like there’s a column with the device type, but be careful (and open in a sense) because the classification is not always right. you may also want to reorder the columns, because the default ordering is not that convenient

I don’t think the goldberg emu allows bypassing the steam drm. what it allows is to run steam-dependent games without steam. For the rare games that use steam drm, you have to patch it with a patcher tool

it is superior in all the ways. too bad it’s barely supported by anything

like all the privacy toggles on facebook? or the “dont upload my start menu searches to bing pretty please” group policy on windows that doesn’t fucking work anymore?

who cares? try to prove anything

OP probably means this:

Internet Membership

Sign up for an Internet Membership and enjoy unlimited 4G or 5G mobile internet in all US states and territories.

Sounds very interesting! With such a service, I could finally throw away my phone number. That is, if this is a mobile hotspot like solution.
Its only US, though.

Needing to make a subtly different version of a website to serve to every state and country to be in full compliance

do they need to? I don’t think so. they could just follow privacy best practices everywhere, if they can’t afford to do whatever they want with user and visitor data.

they don’t want this solution, however, but in my understanding instead to force every state to have weaker privacy laws

Unfortunately that’s not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.

I had a dell tablet a decade ago with windows 7 that was able to do it anywhere

how can we have relatively simpler touch gestures? mostly what I’m thinking about is long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.

I would say it’s also inconvenient that we don’t have a good touch keyboard for wayland, but you probably know that.
maliit is hard to build, afaik not packaged for any distro, buggy and not customizable (or if it is, it is not documented anywhere else than the code), apparently there is no way to limit it’s width, which makes usage harder on tablet sized screens. it has also been abandoned by the devs.
squeekboard is not compatible with KDE wayland because of missing protocols.
onboard is X only.

pvp? are there games that can handle this? or you mean something else?

for authentication you need an account at one of their supported SSO providers (which is mostly a big tech brand) or at an OpenID service.

the bigger problem is that (I think) the choosen SSO provider will be able to impersonate you, and so they could reconfigure your network or connect to it

well that mention does not work for whatever reason. Fantastic

@BobGnarley@lemm.ee I personally started out with a wireguard server on a linux vm on my windows machine. a little config here, an open port there, done. Ok, the config even thought it is simple, it took some time to fully understand for the 2-sided meaning of AllowedIPs

then bought a raspberry pi 4 with very little memory for more services. ran it from an sd card until it died, and from a too weak portable hard drive since. It’s quite slow. and swapping through USB seems to cause kernel panics every few months

then built a server role computer as NAS from desktop parts, a 1st gen ryzen to be cheap but upgradable, ECC RAM and enterprise drives and no display, which runs Proxmox, a simpler debian VM for core services, and another one for the useful kinds of services in an attempt to minimize downtime. disks are in ZFS managed in the proxmox system, network sharing runs in a VM, the storage is passed in with virtiofs

An illegal actor could still

and that’s all legality on the internet can achieve: calling these illegal actors. just like if I would be called an illegal actor if I kept using Matrix and Signal after (and if) chat control has passed.

but they would be taking on risk,

have you seen this article by Proton, showing how much big tech pays in penalties for their illegal acts?

it does not matter.

paying substantial infratstructure costs,

piece of cake for those who already have it. I’m but only talking about traditional big tech, but also other large companies like clearview ai.

would not be able to make it widely available for fear of being caught, and would have limited options for actually making any real money from it.

Except if they are

• in a non-EU country, because EU has no power outside it
• having business with police forces and such, because then it can easily get an exception or get hidden or handwaved away

It would completely prevent say, your average stalker, or jilted ex, or non techy weirdo from.being able to access it, and it would prevent corporations from spending all their time building business around privacy invasion.

only if it gets found out, and if the person doing it does nothing to hide itself. I don’t think this would be effective.

what I think though that this could be used as another reason to support chat control, and automated surveillance with it, but maybe not even at the chat system, but at the camera software or operating system level

I agree with you, I think there might have been a misunderstanding.

Well you said:

but that’s the best that can be done on chrome

that’s true. what I wanted to mean is that I don’t think gorhill really wants to develop that addon (uBO Lite), as I can imagine he’s fed up with the limitations and how little he can do there. I don’t know he’s reason for developing it, though. Maybe as an experiment on what it could still accomplish.

And I think the best use of such a plugin is actually to use it on Firefox. Since Firefox (or Firefox forks) still support Manifest v2.

I’m a little confused here. we don’t need that plugin on Firefox, because we have the full capability version.

SO please do not use Google Chrome

I totally agree. That would be a huge downgrade. Not looking back, only forward, for FF forks and whatever the future may bring us.

It’s possible to run multiple services on the same machine, and actually it’s most often done that way, yes. To keep it all more portable and maintainable, people often use containerization software (like docker with docker compose). It has lower overhead than running VMs.

If you start hosting multiple services that have a web interface, you will probably want to look into a reverse proxy software, which is basically a web server that handles TLS uniformly and sorts your HTTP services to subdomains. The Apache web server is agood example.

Prepare yourself to the need of editing text files and using the linux shell, often through SSH. Most often the text files will not need to change after having it set up properly. These text files and tge linux terminal are much more friendly in my opinion than the windows registry and the windows cmd terminal, so don’t let that discourage you.

it does not discourage anything. illegally designed cookie notices? the dozen tracking providers on all the websites? digital public passport passes that track your habits, but never told you about it, not even at purchase?

the law wont save you. laws will prevent no one from doing this, just like outlawing encryption couldn’t prevent decentralized encrypted messengers from being used.

as a European, I don’t think EU laws have helped anything in this. if anything they have only helped to make websites a little more honest in what they do. but even their cookie notices and tracking agreement questions are most often illegal, filled with dark patterns prohibited by GDPR. and who the fuck cares?

how do you remote control HTPC?

wireless keyboard and mouse is not a real solution. all other such devices that you mentioned used a handheld remote controller

that is exactly the parents will not accept, as stated by OP

I don’t understand, could you reword it?

yes, it was made for Firefox too. did I say it wasn’t? but I think there was no real reason for anyone to use it on Firefox.

I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t be possible

I was in the impression that the protocol was designed with that in mind that the server can do certain things in response to certain other things happening. I think the room membership management part of the client spec writes about this.

But yeah, this can probably change, especially that they are now doing versioning

of course they don’t want, it’s such an inferior addon that it’s almost useless for privacy. it’s little besides just visually hiding ads. but that’s the best that can be done on chrome

Matrix is decentralized, self-hostable, anonymous, and has good multi-device support, but hasn’t yet moved certain meta-data into the encrypted channel.

yet? do they have plans? I’m (relatively) a fan of their platform because of federation, but I thought that it’s not really possible, or at least a very much lot of hard work and even more to change that

simple. ban imaging sensors in the public

I was listening to it a few weeks ago, but vaguely there are auditing companies in the Netherlands that need to verify companies above a certain size whether they are handling their money properly. As I understand it includes tax accounting.
These auditing companies don’t like cryptocurrencies. There are several of these that don’t agree to audit Proton even because they are accepting Bitcoin, but none of the remaining would accept it if they were also accepting a second cryptocurrency.

Now that I think of it, it might have actually been the reason they don’t accept Monero as a payment? In that case, the reason for Proton Wallet being bitcoin only has something to do with another wallet’s developers having been jailed recently for handling multiple cryptocurrencies.

I recommend you to listen to it though, if you understand english speech. There were interesting topics (and Opt Out generally has interesting episodes).
This episode is 54 minutes, audio only. You can find it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1790481/15505787-proton-wallet-w-andy-yen.mp3.

Technically it works, but they are doing something that makes them bug away when resumed. It is not rare that this is related to graphics

there is, you send the SIGSTP and SIGCONT to any process for it to be suspended or resumed
