  • or randos on the internet then?

    I mean isn't that practically everyone on the Internet that you don't know personally? Or do you actually know the Firefox and/or Librewolf team, and audit their code as well?

    If no to both...sounds like you are putting some measure of trust into "randos on the Internet." Which is not abnormal. Trust is required at some point in most processes.

  • My thing against Firefox/Librewolf is lack of security...unless it's improved?

    Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn't happening for their Android browser yet.

  • The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net.

    That's what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they're not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That's not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.

  • VPN: US-IL servers in number ~300 range using Czech IPs

  • If I choose a US server, I want to know I'm going to get the US version of a site.

    Which is not necessarily something that Proton (or any other VPN provider) can impact.

  • Your data has monetary value to google. Giving them access, without getting any money from them (or even knowing what ways it will be used) is not something you must do.

    To be fair, while you may not be getting money in its direct form (cash, bank deposit, etc) from Google, they are providing you a service which costs them money for free. So they are providing something of monetary value.

    Only the individual can determine if their data is worth that free (to the individual, not free to Google) service. I'm assuming that most people in a privacy community would be against that, though.

  • Clickbaity, sure. But this is one of the justifiable clickbaity times. They said the meat of the article, while clickbait, that was the essence of the problem. "I'll give you a child." That's the issue. It doesn't really matter if he's randomly setting his sights on her, or if she said she was childless. That part does not matter. They could've left everything out but the quote. The part that does matter, is he said he'll give her a child without being asked.

    You agree it's a terrible thing for him to say. Is it less terrible for him to say it because she signed as childless? No? Then context does not matter. Yes, it's less terrible because she said it? Well, then there's the hiccup as we disagree on that part and we'll disagree on the context, too.

  • Elon Musk sets his sights on Taylor Swift: "I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life"

    Jump

  • So there's no meaningful missing context. With or without the context, it is widely understood to mean "I'll impregnate you." I don't see how that "missing context" makes the headline "unfair," as you put it.

  • Elon Musk sets his sights on Taylor Swift: "I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life"

    Jump

  • There is a context to what was said that is not fairly put in the title of the article...

    What's the context? The only context I know is she endorsed Kamala and signed her name as Childless Cat Lady. Musk didn't like that and said this line. Did I miss anything?

    If not (and even if I did), as a male talking to a female, saying you're going to "give you a child" pretty much only means "I'm going to impregnate you."

  • CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.

    CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.

    Fairphone's devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.

  • You can still be part of a project without being lead, to be part of the "we." Did he contribute and/or is he part of GrapheneOS, yes? So he's part of the "we."

    Or does only the lead developer get the "we?" Wouldn't that make it more of an "I" instead?

  • Thai article reminded me to buy (and hopefully beat) KCD before KCDII comes out in Feb 2025.

    On the Xbox store, the DLC bundle (no game) was normally $20, but 75% off so it was only $5. The game+DLC bundle was normally $40, but it was 90% off so it was only $4. Easy choice, even if I already had the game and no DLC

  • We've heard this one in 2016.

    He was a convicted felon who had the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as an attempted insurrection in his honor and he saluted hostile generals?

    I don't remember if he promised to be a dictator on day one or had already praised dictators back then, so I'll grant you that one out of...everything else he's done since then which was not covered in 2016.
