I bet you could argue in court that the EULA is null and void, because you can’t be reasonably expected to copy that link into a browser to read it

Then charmeleon must change more than just the user agent

What works? YT on Firefox or YT on Firefox when the user agent is changed?

I use Charmeleon, with the effects described above.

Youtube currently (for weeks now) does not work on Firefox, if you don’t use a Firefox user agent. Google doing sketchy things again.

Aren’t those almost always race condition bugs? The debugger slows execution, so the bug won’t appear when debugging.

On Desktop, as soon as the tab bars are getting smaller to make room for more tabs on the screen, I feel like I have too many open.

And here I thought it was something like Second Life, a virtual world where you can ‘own’ property.

To my knowledge, you don’t need to opt out of anything.

It has to be noted that this applies to US citizens. For EU citizens the arbitration rules do not apply (that at least is how I read the ToS). Instead, they get an EU body that handles disputes:

If you reside in the European Union, you may also be entitled to submit your complaint to the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform or the Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement (“OCDS”) mechanism under DSA Article 21.

Gonna wait for a stable male.

Here is a link detailing the issues concerning root certificates in the eIDAS legislation, as it currently written and about to be voted on: https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/08/europe_eidas_browser/

The EU is in a constant struggle for its direction. Discounting it as a lost cause only allows malicious actors free reign. On the one hand, EU regulators take on tech monopolies, like forcing Microsoft to un-bundle Windows and Edge/Bing. And european courts have repeatedly struck down legislation that would allow for indiscriminate data retention.
On the other hand, the EU politicians are currently trying to sneak through a law that would force browsers to accept state-issued root certificates, allowing them to spy on and alter any and all internet communication, basically upending the trust-based system that keeps the internet secure currently. This law is part of the eIDAS initiative.
And I’m sure that with the new, EU-driven right to repair initiative, the train manufacturer will be forced to back down soon too.

In theory at least, online services would be more safe than a locally decrypted vault. If your computer is compromised, the bad actors can pull your encrypted vault for an unlimited brute force attack. Of course, this can be mitigated by increasing the decryption time. However, if your vault is already decrypted, then bad actors can just pull all your password from your memory.

I, for one, am decrypting my vault once when I start my PC. In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn’t be able to pull my vault from memory.

Fairphone allows you to remove the battery, which, amongst other things, allows you to hard-reset the phone by just pulling the battery, which I did 2 times after owning the FP4 for 18 months. It also receives longer software support than most other phones. Negatives include a rattly top speaker above 50% volume, which was confirmed to be a design defect, the high price tag and, for me at least other small annoyances, such as the microphone volume being pretty low when on a call (not unusable, but you got to speak louder) and sometimes GPS issues, which either require patience or a restart.

Throwback to this nice piece of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6YP6BrPEQ0

This is why it cracks me up every time when someone is praising Elon for “cutting slack” when firing all those twitter employees. Yes, twitter did not implode immediately. Turns out, people can build software that is stable enough to run in maintenance mode. But good luck dealing with new issues cropping up.

As someone who has just enough knowledge to know how big the task of creating a performant way to propagate updates through the federation is, I really hope there are some smart people working on a solution. That is the biggest advantage reddit has over lemmy: Known and centralized hardware standards. Lemmy needs to find a way to make propagation work when half of all instances are hosted at home on consumer-grade hardware.
