I know you’re just using the original title, but consider changing it to this and saving some neurons for the next readers:

CBP’s “Privacy Impact Assessment on commercial telemetry data” highlight urgent need for PIA reform


No one is coming after your seeding in South America, except maybe Chile with its unusually close relationship with the U.S. Just saying.




That’s a lot to unpack there (ba-dum-ts!). So Firefox has a specific Flatpak version that has a bigger attack surface? Or am I getting it wrong? A good bit of it flew over my head TBH.


Oh I’m proficient at the CLI. I just run a stable distro with a few Flatpaks for some select apps. So the packaged version of LW is quite out of date.


How dos it weaken the isolation?

The distro repo will update never. I have to balance being up to date with security vulnerabilities.


4 - my LibreWolf updates just fine with Flatpak. What’s up with yours?



Imagine not trying to fight network effects because it’s “kinda cringe”. Of all the reasons not to do it, this screams “I’m insecure” the loudest.


You might want to change that clickbaity title



I don’t have an answer to you, but I have a question. Why are you trying to recreate CalDAV? That’s one one of the oldest solved problems on the internet.




Looks like you’ve got the upvotes backing you. I’ll keep on using as is. Thank you!


IANAL, but AFAIK that’s incorrect. If you’re the only copyright holder, you can issue multiple licenses for your work. GPL doesn’t allow you to rescind previous issues, so anyone in possession of your GPL code can still modify and release it under the GPL freely. But it doesn’t prevent you from issuing your own work under a different license.

There isn’t usually much economic sense for most applications to do that because anyone can fork the project and distribute it for free. For Proton, since they still hold the server as closed source, they could simply introduce a breaking protocol change and all the forks would be useless.


English isn’t my first language. I share your opinion regarding the license. Which connector would you use instead of “but” to indicate that you succeeded in your efforts even though it was harder you thought it would be?


I’d argue that’s improving internet. They’re about the only ones trying to come up with an actual solution.

There’s plenty, PLENTY of other examples to criticize Mozilla on not focusing on Firefox. This isn’t one.


It took me going to their GitHub to find out, but it’s GPL 3.


I only trade in the finest, unadulterated, originals.


I scanned the API calls to get all the details I needed. I did my thing and I was in.

Hackerman


I remember the analog days where a few keystrokes on an Ericson phone were all you needed to start listening to private conversations on the cell tower you were connected to.


A-ha! So there’s a bit of both client issues and user error. My client crops the preview image of the site. And when I clicked the link to the mastodon post, I didn’t pay attention to the image because I had already seen it in the client.

Still, this being a general privacy group, it would be good if OP didn’t assume the reader was familiar with current EU politics. A small paragraph would be enough to contextualize the post.









Well, now I know what my next phone is. Does it work on the latest Pixel or does it have to be a previous version?


They can deliver the data that they do have, which will be encrypted. Though I doubt they were ever recording calls anyway.


Which do you use now? I know a lot of VPNs don’t support port forwarding.


What the hell is wrong with tech bros and other people’s genitals? How hard is it not to be an asshole and leave people be?

Thanks for the info.


What is their reputation? Genuinely asking, I’ve been ignoring Brave since ever, but lately I thought I should evaluate it for broken sites that depend on chromium.


I’m using primarily LibreWolf at home too, but every now and again there are websites that won’t work with it. So I still keep Firefox around for that because I haven’t figured out how to add exceptions to specific sites for LW.

Might actually be a good privacy strategy though. The sites that break are probably the most invasive. So it could be better to run them on a different browser that’s what you normally use, perhaps with efforts to spoof fingerprinting. Other than not visiting the site, of course, but it’s a decision you gotta make.


How up to date is that info about Brave? Because their default search is brave-search, not Google as claimed.
