Is this supposed to be mock up german? Not German words, not German accsent and word composition rather Scandinavian.

Is there a working Spotify downloader that actually downloads from Spotify? in c/[email protected]

Spotydown.media worked for me, but sometimes it gets stuff so wildly wrong that i am guessing he pulls the stuff from another library and takes the closest match for the name. Doesnt seem to be YouTube though, never had intros, outros or music video noises

Jap, but chromium based is a big Problem...

Firefox is the only (major) browser stopping google from nearly 100% market share. If this is the case, they can easily patch "features" into chrome and not into chromium to force people to switch.

If something is "easy to use" this includes the time you need learn said thing.

Drinking rahmen from the bowl is easier then using chopsticks (even if you are more elegant with chopsticks)

Driving automatic is easier then driving manual (even if you may be more efficient with manual if you practised shifting a lot)

Walking is easier then flicflacs (even if you may be faster with flicflacs if you practised a lot)

Using Ubuntu is easier than using arch (even if arch gives you more control and opportunities if you understand it)

Disable VPN while browsing casual or leave running? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey guys n gurls, I was wondering if it is smart to disable my VPN connection for casual browsing.

Reasons: when having VPN constantly running it may be possible to track me via browser fingerprinting.

Szenario: the connection coming from the VPN which hypothetically downloaded a torrent, tries to watch capitalist propaganda while living in China, etc.pp has this screen ratio, this locale, this addons etc. And (more important) the YouTube login cookie we know belongs to this physical person/telephone number etc.

So I am wondering if I should only use the VPN when "needing" it (read articles not available in country, Netflix, read information government doesn't like, things like that.) Or if I'm missing something here and I could obscure my causal day to day browsing as well without decreasing the security of the VPN.

For reference, the VPN doesn't log anything (for more than a day) to my knowledge

EDIT: From what I understand from the comments: switching the VPN has little to no impact on widely used tracking and if at all makes it easier to corelate data. People emphasize the general lack of full privacy if you are wanted by entities willing to spend enough resources. But for the general need of privacy in normal usecases it makes more sense to just leave the VPN running.

Exodus showing different permissions than system settings. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Edit: got told by the kind folks in the community that this is expected and the sentence "can access position while in background" actually just means: will ask you for the permission to access the position from the background but only does so, if you allow it" - that's what I figured, but now im sure. Thanks for the clarification everyone!

Hey guys n gurls,

I recently learned about exodus, and installed it to check my apps. While exodus shows some apps (like bike computer for reference) are allowed to track my position (quite logically).

The strange thing: in system settings it says seeing position is not allowed.

Does this mean that the app wants those permissions but I don't granted them? Or are my system settings bricked? Is this because of lineage? Is this expected?

Would greatly appreciate someone who understands this a little bit more to explain :)

P.S: Is (the tracker part of) exodus even useful when i already use neo store which shows known tracker? Is this maybe even the same database?
