This looks like old news to me. Years ago I've read that three letter agencies can access phones without getting the access code or bio-metrics from the phone owner.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayshift
• And it was in the news recently because of the Trump shooter : https://www.theverge.com/24199357/fbi-trump-rally-shooter-phone-thomas-matthew-crooks-quantico-mdtf
• https://signal.org/blog/cellebrite-vulnerabilities (2021, crazy story)

I picked the lesser evil

The choice for iOS can be a convenient choice for daily use if one is ready to deal with the restrictions (Like every other web browser is a Safari browser layer instead of a real browser and the fact that Apple is not into allowing ad-blocking easily). With Android phones the freedom for the end user is, compared to iOS, massive. And having a de-Googled Android phone with a custom ROM is no longer rocket-science or for the faint of heart these days because you can buy custom ROM Android phones pre-installed so you're good to go.

And we’re cheering it on because X is seen as a political opponent.

I'm cheering this on among others because the shadow-banned person wrote something important about a sick EU law proposal that tried to break E2EE.

Strongly agree but lots keep using X, in fact it seems to get worse :(

Here's a take by a Mozilla employee :

• Mozilla has been ad funded since 2005
• Browser development is not sustainable by just donations
• Transparency is most important

I did lots of reading about this and am still wondering why someone would want to opt for catch-all domains over aliases. Catch-alls seem highly susceptible to spam and while I haven’t actually done any email aliasing yet,

I'm using catch-all since years and no spammer has ever made up a new email alias to spam me.

it doesn’t seem to take much effort to make a new alias if you have a plan with unlimited aliases.

That depends. The moment you are in a shop without your phone/email and they really want an email address you can simply write down their_company_name@your_email_domain_name for them without having to compromise anything.

• 28 juli 2014 — What do you think about Linus Torvalds? I met Linus and his wife briefly at a party in 1999, and haven't crossed paths since.

GMaps WV as mentioned in another comment : https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/ Last updated, June 2024.

This is a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn't enough.

According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.

Wondering : Does duf do a better job than df with btrfs ?

The discontinuation of neofetch development was big news for a lot of people, for example here : https://lemmy.ml/post/15051857 I'm happy for the software developer, now a farmer though :)

The developer maybe moved on to something new, like author of neofetch took up farming a few months ago.

Yeah, that’ll be hard. I’m trying to use Peertube but network effect is big on YT (not sure if that’s the right expression here, noone is using Peertube, everyone is on YT).

There was a time "noone" was on YouTube.

Yes, go ahead and file the bug. And as others mentioned already, the custom screensaver modifications of XScreensaver like for LM may have bugs. The author of XScreensaver has been complaining about this several times.

• https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#gnome-screensaver

The bug you found looks similar to this one :

• https://linuxreviews.org/Xfce4-screensaver_0.1.9_Is_Released_With_A_Critical_Security_Fix

Unlocking a machine locked with Xfce's screensaver xfce4-screensaver has long been a simple matter of turning two monitors on at the exact same time. That makes Xfce4-screensaver versions prior to 0.1.9 segfault and crash - leaving the machine unlocked. This very unfortunate Xfce bug #16102 has been open since October 29th 2019 and we have pointed fingers at it several times before. Xfce developer Sean Davis has finally closed this gaping security hole. He explained that the embarrassingly long delay before this security vulnerability was addressed was due to "real life conflicts" in a brief comment on March 22nd. He did not elaborate and we did not ask for further details since it is likely none of our business.

Twitter had a TOR service last time I checked, I haven’t seen a single Mastodon instance available as TOR service.

TIL Mastodon can be run as tor service : https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/tor/

I think you need to take a break and get some perspective.

Besides, the Twitter link was already posted by the OP, why would it need to be posted again?

Posting exTwitter links without a screenshot in a privacy community feels like a kind of oxymoron to me, especially after exTwitter made API changes and what not which made third party apps and software like Nitter kind of useless.

I think I've read somewhere that xrandr only works with Xorg and not with Wayland.
