Yep, same. The main thing Linux has taught me over the years is to keep good, regular backups of everything important.
I’ve lost way too much data already by fucking up grub somehow, or by accidentally letting windows overwrite the efi partition or some bullshit. I know how to recover from that now, but back in the day when I was doing dumb shit to my os pretty much every day, I didn’t.
That was all 100% my own fault btw
Yeah it doesn’t make any sense. They’re just blocking pretty big parts of the internet all at once, of which most was probably not even illegal content to begin with, and might have been actual legitimate businesses that are now blocked from selling anything online there.
Yes but AFAIK they have that right because they argued they were losing a lot of money to pirates.
My bank requires either the mobile app, or a physical device you have to put your card into and scan a qr code with. Very inconvenient, especially on the go.
Fortunately though my bank’s mobile app works on GrapheneOS, but that might not be the case for everyone.
Damn, that’s awful. Can’t you just set the settings once, then delete the app and pair it like a normal Bluetooth device? Would imagine that should work, if it works with your laptop as well.
The article states they cicumvemt androids privacy controls, but doesn’t say how. As far as I’m aware, WiFi access point scanning is behind the location permission and service for precisely this reason. So if you just deny that permission, you should be fine.
I wasn’t able to use my WiFi ssid in home assistant automations without having location services enabled, for example.
I was about to say the only thing missing from futo keyboard is multilingual typing, but then I checked to be sure, ans turns out they already added that!
I’m happy if I get a bonus for free ice cream, but I’m not really disappointed that those things don’t happen everyday.
Yeah okay but I’m gonna wager a wild guess here and say you’re most likely not a dog
I’m not sure, I haven’t noticed any changes from android 14 I think.
It just looks different. It’s more of a list of tiles now than a list of rows, if that makes sense.
The person you replied to is correct, and your link confirms it:
An extension with broad permissions can access all tabs and browsing data
The extension does not just have this access, it has to request it from the user first.
Of course, an extension can request access to all browsing data, but Firefox will tell you about that before you install it. And better still, the extension this post is about, doesn’t even request this:
Yeah I’m pretty sure Firefox won’t ask for or use your location, unless a website wants it for some reason (which is almost never a good one).
Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?
I thought Palantir made scandinavian power metal
Do you have a source for that? I can’t seem to find anything on their website, though judging by the past few release notes you’re absolutely right.
Edit: found this video. Kinda feel like this should be a big red banner on the front page though.
OK I think I see what you’re saying now:
If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.
I don’t see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they’re just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.
No, using Google makes Google money. That’s why they pay mozilla to be the default.
Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I have no idea what they’re talking about.
Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.
Protip: you can also block a lot of those by enabling some “annoyances” blocklists in uBlocks settings.
And while you’re there, take a look at all the other blocklists they don’t enable by default. You might find something useful to you.
