Bro doesn’t think Google trains its own AI with data harvested from Android users.

I think there should be some work to do with Flatpak as well, but nothing major since it’s mostly there.

Didn’t know Tomoko used Linux, truly based.

Fedora 39 anyone?

Great quote I just found.

Here’s a better meme.

HP printers:

Couldn’t you just get it back to the store and get a refund?

Wasn’t 2010 just two years ago?

The next article will be “Google CEO says unfair practices by Microsoft led to its dominance in the desktop OS space.”

Lemmy (ofc), Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Matrix, XMPP, Nextcloud, Mumble and Tox. Some of these are self hosted on my own machine.

Use a firewall app to block that game from accessing the internet (this obviously defeats the purpose of online multiplayer games.)

That isn’t an official GrapheneOS channel, it’s called PrivacyPhones. I doubt it’s a person involved with GrapheneOS trying to spread FUD or something. You could always go make questions on the official chatrooms.

Whenever they come up with the excuse of “digital natives” or “they’ve grown up online so they know about tech” I want to throw up in my mouth because kids and people of my age who are supposedly knowledgeable about tech are actually idiots. They’re just as ignorant and exploitable as older people, but without the stiffness of older people that have been doing things without tech for decades.

Most tracking and fingerprinting is driven by JavaScript running on the browser itself, not server-side tracking. Also WebKit and Chromium are not the same engine.

That’s what I meant by “extra data collection,” it just gets data that has to do with what you do on the server, which is significant, but you’re still protected from kinds of local collection (e.g.: device model, IMEI if possible, screen resolution, networks you connect to, etc.) other than not having analytics trackers and ads. It may sound a bit crazy, but it is possible to collect this kind of stuff to fingerprint you, just like browser fingerprinting.

Literally 1984.

The fact you’re using a libre client that doesn’t do extra data collection.

Only AUR packages break because of either bad maintenance or bad timing when dependencies get updated but not the AUR package. Other than that I never got any reliability issue, I don’t get all the complaints about Arch being unreliable. Sure, I wouldn’t put it on a server or something that needs to always work the same way and that needs lots of uptime (but some people do it anyways because they like to live on the edge,) but it’s not as bad as people say.
