My guess is that it's a lot easier to get a list of IPs to block from VPN providers than tor exit nodes

[-] ISOmorph@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

I don't use tor much. My main use case at the moment is using the tor browser for all the sites that block me because I use a vpn. Works most of the time. I have a small list of onion sites that are only accessible through tor but it's more of "break glass in case of privacy emergency" type of thing.

Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.

No they haven't, they added a field where a user can store their birthday, as required by law in parts of the US.

That's an obvious foot in the door. The law is going to get worse. And we users expect the services we've been trusting all this years to see that too and act accordingly in response. As long as the critiscism remains civil, it's perfectly valid.

Do you want linux get banned in California?

There is no single Linux. Each distro should have the agency to decide for themselves how or if they want to operate in California.

Chocolate Factory describes concession as an attempt to balance openess with safety

I describe the concession as an attempt to balance ending user agency with public backlash

Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

I lost a bunch of keys today. It sucks and it's gonna cost me a lot of money to replace the locks. I want to to add an airtag-like device to my key ring in the future. However I don't know of any device that works in a similar fashion, either through bluetooth or GPS, that works with Graphene and doesn't require some kind of privacy invading online subscription.

Do you have any advice on privacy respecting alternatives to airtags?

I've managed to customize Thunderbird to better fit my KDE theme using the browser toolbox as guide. However, the toolbox doesn't work for the new message window. I can't find out how to change the default background color there. I would appreciate If anyone could point me in the right direction. The screenshot shows the part I'm trying to modify.

Hi all,

I have the weirdest issue with Summit for the last 2 days. Every post with an external link produces a 403. The attached screenshot has an example.

If I copy the url from the error message I can open it just fine in my browser.

  • Summit version 1.73
  • Android version 16

Jesus that post is bleak. It's basically "Please write your political representative to do something or we're forced to close up shop". Since all our political representatives are walking around with massive hard-ons at the idea of surveilling us, it's basically a poorly veiled good bye note.

Doctolib (https://www.doctolib.de/) scheint sich mehr und mehr als de facto Standard für ärztliche Terminbuchungen durchzusetzen. Als neuer Patient musste ich mich vor kurzem wehren, dass meine Kontaktdaten dort von der Praxis aufgenommen werden. Von Praxen bei denen ich seit Jahren Patient bin kriege ich nun Terminerinnerungen per SMS, obwohl ich nie eine Erlaubnis gegeben habe meine Daten mit einer dritten Partei zu teilen.

Ich stehe der zentralisierten Datenhaltung meiner Krankendaten, außerhalb der gewohnten und unumgänglichen Situation mit den Krankenkassen, sehr kritisch gegenüber. Vor allem, wenn diese Daten von einer nicht regulierten dritten Partei aus dem Ausland verwaltet werden (Doctolib ist französisch).

Wie seht ihr die Situation? Was sind eure Erfahrungen damit? Habt ihr Tipps um die Datenerhebung zu umgehen oder zu minimieren?

I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he's glad he doesn't have to deal with it. That's the only way this makes sense.

Firefox seemingly very recently shipped their own titlebar controls buttons, which worsens even further the lackluster OS integration. In the screenshot you see my regular control buttons on the window to the left (default KDE Plasma theme) and the new custom buttons Firefox is serving now.

Would anyone know how to undo that change in about:config or anywhere else?

While browsing through the privacy community, I read about the BraX3. A new privacy centric phone developed by YouTube content creator Robert Braxman.

Before I support their IndyGoGo, I'd like to get your opinions about the company and their last phone, the BraX2, which apparently didn't get the most glowing reviews.

"I don't think there is any European country that would arrest Netanyahu,"

Anyone not complying with the ICC arrest warrant not only deletigimitizes the ICC, but also makes themselves complicit in a genocide. This is literally criminal.

Why should I follow any laws anymore if my leadership takes a massive dump on the most important ones?

I've seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they're putting in the bottom line.
