Linger on*

Fork you, liar!

Don’t mention it.

There are several alternatives. Keeping up with security patches is a full time job. It’s quite reasonable in this particular case.

It has cryptocurrency integration and it did some shady ad-referral stealing. But yes, it’s fully open source.

Godspeed, friend.

With Recall as it is, trying to have anything written privately in Windows is a losing battle.

Oh. Right.

No, what you wrote sucks any way you slice it. You try again.

Nothing. Like, absolutely nothing. It didn’t keep up with the times. I spent am untold amount of time on IRC, but the fact that you have to be online to have a chance to read messages just doesn’t jive with most people’s schedules anymore.

What are you sniffing? There’s no more pro censorship platform then Reddit. Lemmy at least keeps a mod log.

So like XMPP, SIP, Mumble, or Matrix without the chat part.

Ventrilo looks someone’s bad first open source project, but it’s proprietary. The audio quality must be orgasmic for people to use it.

I guess I just assumed they’d remove the telemetry, but yeah, shouldn’t assume.

I’m not following your logic here. Why would you want to get rid of ReVanced? It’s not a Google product any more than other alternative frontends, right?

Depends on your threat model. If you use secure DNS and https for the RSS feed, then these people would know your IP and the IP you’re connecting to:

• the DNS provider
• the RSS server
• your ISP/ VPN server

Your ISP or VPN will know you’ve made a TCP connection to that server at a specified port, but that’s it. It’s trivial for them to reverse lookup the IP back into a name.

Only the RSS server will know the specific URL you’re visiting though.

I think you dropped a B there.

They went so far as to say that they regret it but the decision didn’t impose any change of behavior. That’s as much of a shrug as you can officially get.

Shrek and his dick getting sucked

Toxicity? How so?

Nice deep dive.

I think GL.inet has tiny ones you can use.

I share your optimism to a point. If it convinces one municipality to not adopt Flock, it’s a victory. That said, I can see a corrupt government issuing an alert to track a car down. However, if done correctly, this action will be undeniable and visible, and it can’t give them heavy information.

Take a look at trusted computing. The issue is someone modifying your software to collect more data than you intend, right? Make it so stock versions can’t talk to modified versions. This involves a fair bit of cryptography that goes way above my head. But for a technical solution, that’s where I’d start to look at.

For the time being, offer it exclusively as SaaS, while you figure out a game plan to solve this conundrum.

Dude. I don’t care about what you think.

Make me.

That’s just some idiot dogpiling into Mozilla. The privacy concerns are very real though.

Might as call it CIA Honeypot VPN.

It got so bad that couldn’t access YouTube on their official app in my company phone without logging in.

They’re small but damn, are they T H I C C!

It’s been hit and miss for me. It feels like there’s some cached queries that it presents the AI results for without user interaction. But it’s very clearly marked.

Much appreciated.

Sure looks like it.

The 8a’s are literally $200 cheaper than the 8 and $300 cheaper than 9. The CPU and memory are the same, the screen is the same with a different glass. The cameras are better. It’s ok if it’s not the phone for you, but saying it’s clearly inferior is patently false.

This is worrying but… how does this woman keep getting distractingly more beautiful with age?

It’s ergonomics, yes. I like to use the phone one handed. With a big screen you have to adjust (scoot up and down) all the time, leading to falls (of the phone) and fatigue on the hand.

I’m concerned the pop socket would make it harder to stick my phone in my jeans. I know it’s retractable, maybe I could give it a go if I didn’t find a small phone.

This is interesting, but I don’t see how this is related to privacy.

I think it’s more of a trust issue.

OP specifically stated to prep a specific web client and instance, and create a QR code to facilitate joining. That sidesteps that concern entirely.

That was how I joined IRC back in the day. I was told to join “mIRC” (a popular client then). You figure the details later — or don’t, because it will work regardless.
