#OpenBSD has disabled #DoH by default in our #Firefox packages. This is active in -current, and will be in our 6.6 -release.

From @otto 's commit message:

"""Disable DoH by default. While encrypting DNS might be a good thing, sending all DNS traffic to Cloudflare by default is not a good idea.
Applications should respect OS configured settings."""

This plugin requires some configuration, or it will break most websites by default. I would at the very least allow third party CSS, but it is up to you. You could also just disable everything except protection from CF if that sounds better to you.

There is a plugin that will automagically block Cloudflare connections (or redirect to archive.org if you'd prefer). It comes with IceCat, it's called Searxes Third Party Tracker Blocker. It's also mirrored on the Mozilla addon store if that's more your thing.

Apparently cybre.space's CDN uses Cloudflare, but the instance itself doesn't... Very stange. Watch out for static.cybre.space, I suppose.

Tor Browser for Android 8.5.6 is out now. The latest version for Linux, macOS, and Windows is still 8.5.5.

This update fixes an issue with the aarch64 version, mostly on Android 9, which caused a crash on launch. Apologies to all who were affected.

What software devs can do to combat climate change:

help your local climate groups organise
help in running their digital infrastructure
make them a nice website
if the group is using some FLOSS tool, help making it better

What is hardly going to help combating climate change as a software dev: Shaving off a few CPU instructions on one of your software projects.

At least Starbucks in the US. I imagine there are some GDPR issues with that in other countries.

You have to love that Starbucks stores your MAC address and ships it off to Google, but "it's a feature!"

Why yes, of course I trust you with my debit card.

Hello everyone !

📢 🔴 URGENT 🔴

An awesome software is dying, because its #developper has not time anymore to care of it.

It's an alternative of Adobe AfterEffect : Natron (natrongithub.github.io/)

Please, can Mastodon community search for a C++ dev, which want to maintain it ? or search for a company which work with free software ? It's very important.

Boost very appreciated

Thanks in advance for your contribution !

Dear university professors: please do not require people use a proprietary online coursework solution when the class is supposed to be a lecture class. Making someone use MathXL, My Lab & Mastering, etc, is wrong not only because of the obvious proprietary nature, but they're also (VERY) cost prohivitive. The fact people use loan money for that *on top* of textbooks is crazy. I'm begging my uni professor comrades: please take a stand.

Don't ask anyone to use Skype in any way, but ***espeically*** for medical reasons.

Please don't ask your patients to use Skype in any medical capacity. That's insane, especially given MS records some calls and has them transcribed by contractors.
