What does a privacy conscious version even look like?
Some things simply aren’t legal anymore like buying crypto without identification.
- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
Webextensions get their own webprocessss as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).
- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
Dark reader is one of the heaviest extensions you use, lots of dom navigation and modifications.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
My only concern would be the systems that my code runs on top of won’t be willing to share. It is one thing to demand it from me, another to demand it from Siemens. Then you add in very low level code for individual devices such as VFDs
It is about code they pay to create…
- Comment on Signal downplays encryption key flaw, fixes it after X drama 4 months ago:
You are absolutely correct. This can help in a world where every app is well sandboxed (thus can be reliably identified and isolated).
- Comment on Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen 4 months ago:
Realistically the threat we care about is others leak your password. So it doesn’t matter.
If you have a setup where your password vault is at risk the. Yes it’s a bad idea.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
Neither Chromium nor Gecko have a stable public API. Companies are just willing to spend money rebasing every Chromium update.
- Comment on Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative 4 months ago:
The good news is no streaming service even supports UHD in browers (except Netflix on Edge?) because of DRM. So I don’t see the value.
- Comment on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims 4 months ago:
That source looks better indeed.

The claim is they completely bypass all Android and iOS security is pretty unbelievable.

- Comment on How to port any N64 game to the PC in record time 5 months ago:
This is the worst format for that?
Binaries will never get bug fixes or improvements like an emulator. The rom is the only relevant archive of a game.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 6 months ago:
That just makes no sense to do, modern storage is write limited. As long as you used encryption the old bits mean nothing.
- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 6 months ago:
This is all true. I just genuinely believe more EVs to market would be good for the consumer over the coming years.
- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 6 months ago:
The cost of cars has not scaled with incomes. EVs are also much cheaper to manufacture yet because of lack of competition they only sell luxury cars. Nissan admittedly tried but I think that was just too early to market with a mediocre product.
- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 6 months ago:
Thats great for GM and Ford execs. It just means Americans can’t afford cars.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 6 months ago:
We don’t know their personal contract, but calling it illegal is ridiculous, I’m sure Valve explicitly allows for this.

It just comes across hypocritical. He demands everyone else be open, hardware vendors, video hosts, yet himself wants to be closed.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
And Spotify pays them…?
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 6 months ago:
Thats a very broad question. My general thought is don’t install Linux to use Windows software. It’s gotten pretty good, to nearly same performance, but I wouldn’t count on it.
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 6 months ago:
The web is just heavy, no OS changes that. It will work fine but that ram could be filled by a few heavy sites.
- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 6 months ago:
It’s just a minor convenience, not sure why that’s confusing.
I can set the temperature from anywhere, that’s nice.
- Comment on Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband 6 months ago:
Caps are allowed but the FCC has shown interest in regulating it. Maybe some decade.

VR can work but is overall a buggy and less supported platform.

WhatsApp is American owned. You may be thinking of WeChat?
