I thought legitimate interest meant you were legitimately interested in giving up your data to those vendors???

true but sometimes a news article or some service will link to a tweet and i have to use the godawful website client

My phone uses a split APK which requires root using revanced, but my work profile blocks rooting ;_;

I could just download the APKs manually but a lot more effort than using Firefox ngl

Already moved to Firefox on my phone. The only browser on mobile that I know of that supports extensions, giving me ad-free youtube and dark mode on websites ever since vanced was shut down.

Ah gotcha!

what about the x wayland support is causing you problems?

That’s still a lot less than previous rulings. I remember when Windows was forced to tell users that alternative browsers existed and had to offer download links. I doubt many people beyond experienced users will take advantage of this.

Bluesky is no more or less private than any servicebusing activitypub

Is matrix not a separate protocol?

Sometimes these login portals accept any old bogus email or burner account. They were logging your IP anyway so realistically doesnt add any more compromised dafa

You have to assume that any data online at this point has been compromised or will be compromised, up to and including encrypted information. You just have to hope we’re not on track to have publicly available quantum computing that can break said encryption or there’d be no point doing any kind of secure internet communication anymore.

Doesn’t Red Hat and the whole enterprise Linux space advocate FOSS B2B? I might be misunderstanding though

They literally cannot enforce this, just like their attempted ban on porn

This is already a massive discount over the competitors. Price/performance the deck is already miles ahead of all but maybe ninty who could make money if they gave the switch away for free with how much they charge for games
