While that is true, EU is leading the world in some privacy invasions. Be it age verification or various initiatives to try and break E2EE. Those kind of efforts do not yet exist at even countries we would all agree are oppressive.

EU’s Dark Power Blue (#003399) color.

Is this because you like the color or you think using an EU color is appropriate here? Cause if its the latter, EU is a privacy nightmare so hard disagree.

That’s not at all how it works.

flathub still allows unverified submissions which is what I proposed. So, no, it wouldn’t.

At the very least aur must verify you are associated with the domain name of the project, same as flathub.

There are <250USD used frameworks?

Isn’t protonpass E2EE?

Looks pretty

If you break the law or violate these Terms when using Duck.ai and we get sued, you may have to take responsibility.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DuckDuckGo, its affiliates, employees, and any other agents from and against any claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to your use of Duck.ai, including your subsequent use of any Outputs, your breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law.

I don’t understand how this is possible if this is a private, account free service.

Overall, I don’t get what ddg gets out of this very expensive to offer service. Which means I don’t teust its a way to privately use LLMs.

I’d much prefer paying cash to get a scratch card from a retailer like Mullvad does.

I gave you the real reason it should be controversial. Brave’s fuck ups have not been significantly worse than other companies’.

re: open source In theory: yes. In practice: maybe. It’ll probably eventually be caught by some researcher but unlike popular belief all open source code bases are not constantly being audited by the community. A random person can’t just read Brave source code for all platforms and accurately gauge if they’re doing something nefarious. It is very easy to hide stuff in code or misuse a protocol for evil purposes, etc.

You can modify the source code but as evident by the fact that there’s no Brave fork with crypto removed (there was one but their branding was too similar to Brave’s so they got sued), it’s not an easy feat to maintain that.

Running those adblockers on your devices is extremely insecure. They register as a VPN and intercept HTTPS traffic. They decrypt the encrypted traffic, filter it, and encrypt again meaning all your communications are signed by this single app’s certificate. Not to mention any vulnerability would wreak havoc.

It’s backed by Peter Thiel who is a war mongering Nazi billionaire.

Can you really talk about E2EE on a closed source app? The whole point of E2EE is I don’t trust the vendor. If they give me a blob as a client and tell me it’s E2EE, am I supposed to just trust them all of a sudden?

What about people planning terrorist attacks before they go into Austria? The geniuses did not think about that.

I know Brave is controversial but they were the only ones (edit: not sure about Vanadium, I’m curious if they were vulnerable) disallowing JS to access localhost thus blocking Meta and Yandex’s recently discovered spying.

Sounds like such a no brainer to not allow random websites to communicate with the localhost and very easily circumvent all sandboxing you spent thousands of hours building. Looking at you Android (Google) and all the browser vendors (also Google?, huh).

What’s up with the attitude like gpu accelerated terminals aren’t extremely popular? If you’re fine with what you’re using, have fun and tone down the high horse.

Yeah Jellyfin was forked from Emby’s last open release IIRC.

Anything is fine unless you’re using the terminal very heavily. Almost all of my workflow is within the terminal so I want everything to be as fast as possible. I want a minimal, low config, fast terminal that has the exact same behavior when using the same config on Linux and MacOS (I know, fuck me, I have to use it for work). And those are Alacritty and Ghostty. I hate Alacritty’s horrible icon so I use Ghostty.

Yeah the protocols are there, portals support it, OBS works. It is great that random applications cannot capture the framebuffer.
