You could also just… not update.

One thing that caused my system to hang for a while before post was leaving my valve index plugged in. I’m not sure why, I guess it’s trying to use it as a display output and failing for some reason?

Yeah if they get a warrant they’re 100% just handing over all the data

Lol that’s it? That’s hardly inconvenient at all, just gotta make sure you don’t publish broken shit I guess

Hell yeah I used to love tux paint as a kid

Seems to me they responded to

I hope other technology companies try to aim for something similar

Which, according to them, they are.

Here’s the actual article: https://crocidb.com/post/kernel-adventures/demystifying-the-shebang/

They do link to it at least, but really, what is the point of this hackaday article

Man I would love to see the phoronix comments on this

change how one thing that they got down works and they’ll panic.

Like when they moved some settings out of control panel? Or when they changed the menu? Or when they changed what is shown in context menus?

(Talking about windows here btw)

I’m not saying people didn’t panic, but somehow they managed learning the new way just fine in these cases.

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.

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.

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).

You’re not wrong, but that’s not the part they quoted :)

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.
