Then run it in a container under a better distribution if you desperately need to put neofetch on your HTPC. Or run the other distro in a container under libreelec since I’m pretty sure it supports them.

It tracks anonymous statistics, without my express consent, for the benefit of a third party. I do not care if it exists to replace cookies, because I’m not even convinced that cookies need to exist at all anymore. What utility do they provide to the actual person using the browser that can’t be accomplished through some other more modern API? If the only functionality left to replace is tracking people then maybe just deprecate them and move on.

what do you mean? people living in the mountains of NC definitely had flood insurance.

Telegram had credibility. It was being used by journalists to protect sources.

You can extend trust to individuals but do not apply that to companies or organizations if you care at all about what they’re doing with what you give them. Not everyone has some mythical tech privacy wizard on call to give them perfect advice every time they open an account on an app or website.

Even client side encryption is not infallible. The algorithm you use will eventually be crackable and probably sooner than you think. Nothing lasts forever.

The most foolproof way to ensure something remains private is to not put it on the internet at all.

If you can read and understand the code, sure. Otherwise you’re still just extending trust to someone perhaps less reputable than even the corporations who are dying to sell you out. For example, the back door some mysterious contributor slipped into xz recently.

My recommendation is to live life as if privacy on the internet did not exist, because it doesn’t.

Never trust a third party to keep your shit private. Especially if privacy is their main selling point.

Yeah it is possible he's accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that's how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a "bug", though.

you don't get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a "bug". at best its a feature that was being tested internally and never would have made it past that, at worst its something that went live early.

Human Shield is a fun little linguistic trick that turns innocent human beings with lives and internality similar to your own into prop objects wielded by an inhuman enemy. This makes it way easier to justify mowing them down in service of your geopolitical goals. Every time that phrase is used it is a sign that someone is probably trying to justify something inhumane; usually something that would be considered a war crime if done against the ones using it.

did u know republicans also drink water and breath air? makes u think doesnt it
