@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave @torproject IDK what you did, but for me, Tor Browser for Android shows Yes/Yes/Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint.

Most of the fingerprint data stems from the fact that Tor Browser is hiding info or providing placeholders, and from the fact that it's based on Firefox (which is very rare on Android). Still, the point of Tor Browser is to be indistinguishable from other users of Tor Browser, not from everyone else.

@desirable_dialogue @eighthave @fdroidorg
F-Droid doesn't allow proprietary dependencies and lists non-free servers as a misfeature. Graphene devs consider this silly or even bizarre.

In general, the criticism of F-Droid is valid from the viewpoint of maximum security. However not everyone's threat model is the same, and not all of the criticism is important for everyone. I can ignore the part about displayed permissions being misleading, for example.

2/2

@desirable_dialogue @eighthave @fdroidorg GrapheneOS focuses on security first and foremost. Meanwhile F-Droid approaches things from a Free Software (free as in freedom) mindset.

For F-Droid devs, installing an old and insecure game on an old and insecure smartphone is a valid use case. You should be free to do so. For Graphene devs, it's terrifying and should not be allowed by default.

@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave "Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting."

Let me introduce the Tor Browser. @torproject

@madargon @davidrevoy 50%‽ That's way more than I thought. I wonder what was the exact question that was asked?

@echo_pbreyer Please, just let it die. Politicians can spy on their own communications if they want to. Leave ours alone.

@kkremitzki @FreeCAD If the videos do not permit reupload, but are already on a PeerTube instance, I believe you can just federate with that instance and make their videos visible on your instance without uploading them yourself.

@dzwiedziu @wariat @icd Przypominam, że już teraz WhatsApp nęka użytkowników przypomnieniami, żeby ustawić kopie zapasowe wiadomości, a domyślnie te kopie zapasowe nie są szyfrowane.

@echo_pbreyer We need younger, knowledgeable people to get into politics. We must replace the politicians who view technology, the Internet, freedom of speech, privacy, etc. as frivolous and optional.

@purism That's worrying.

@noelreports It might be influenced by US politics. The party that supports Nawrocki is generally pro-US.

@itsfoss Interesting. It's licensed under "Apache-2.0 with LLVM-exception".

@noelreports Trump's plan to ally with Russia against China failed to take into account that Russia is an aggressive, imperialist dictatorship that will break any promise as soon as it stands to gain anything from doing so. It cannot be trusted.

@itsfoss The problem with replacing YT is different than with replacing let's say Twitter. Twitter's strength is its large userbase and that's it. Meanwhile YT's strengths are: large userbase, plethora of existing content, and great monetization opportunities. It's hard to even challenge that without being a company. I think the best solution would be to set up something like Mozilla - a nonprofit that owns a company.

@auschwitzmuseum Politicians often like to structure the state and write laws in the way that makes it easier for them to do their job. We should demand that our laws and design of the state considers safety more important than convenience. A takeover by people believing in evil ideologies can happen again. We must make it as hard for them as possible.

@isola @itsfoss Not necessarily. A word can be multiple tokens, especially in a language like German. See the article for more possibilities.

@Devijand @EUCommission TIL, thanks. That does sound problematic.
