What search engine should I use?
  • You can disable that. Here are two links that disable that. Add it to Firefox or Chromium through the settings.

    Simple, only disables AI answers: https://duckduckgo.com/?kbe=0&q=%s

    Long, disables AI answers and ads: https://duckduckgo.com/?kak=-1&kax=-1&kbe=0&k1=-1&q=%s

    Steps to create a custom DDG search config:

    • Visit: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
    • Select the settings you want, for example dark mode.
    • Click the "Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data" button.
    • Copy the link, using my dark mode scenario would yield the URL https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d
    • Edit the URL by adding &q=%s to the end, which acts as a placeholder for the browser to replace with your actual search query. Using my example https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d&q=%s
    • Last step is add it to your browser. May differ between browsers, but generally look in the search engines tab of the settings.

  • That is Thunderbird on Desktop, which uses Firefox ESR. Thunderbird on Android uses K-9 Mail's codebase.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • Source available is closed source by the OSI definition, which is what is widely used and understood. The "closed" in closed source doesnt only refer to source visibility but also the freedoms upheld by open source.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • Your comment I was replying to said "I don't know where you are reading that Vivaldi is closed source. The source code is right here: https://vivaldi.com/source/". I was responding to that with Vivaldi's statement about how the browser is closed source.

    In your original comment you illude to it being neither open or closed source, which is not true either since it is closed source. Maybe you meant source available? I didnt read anywhere saying that.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • Brave added affiliate links to URLs. While I agree this is quite shady, it is not much different from how Vivaldi makes money. Also Vivaldi is not open source and doesnt come close to Brave or Librewolf in privacy tests. Vivaldi's fingerprinting protections are incomplete (it seems they stopped at canvas randomization?), it features a weak built-in content blocker, and has an insecure default config (JS JIT and WASM are enabled). I would compare it to default ungoogled chromium + basic adblocker. Vivaldi is no where close to Librewolf or Brave in terms of adblocking, anti-fingerprinting, and browser security hardening. Vivaldi is a neat browser, but a privacy one? I don't think so.

    EDIT: Here are some links. Privacytests.org is a precomputed comparison table, the other two sites are fingerprinting sites which give a better idea of how much must be protected for adequate anti-fingerprinting.

    Independent browser Privacy tests: https://privacytests.org/
    CreepJS fingerprinting site: https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/
    Firefox Arkenfox fingerprinting test site: https://arkenfox.github.io/TZP/tzp.html

  • Vivaldi is closed source, they say so on their website. I don't like the CEO of Brave, neither do I like the crypto nonesense, but arguing that Vivaldi is better for privacy (let alone vanilla chrome) is incredibly incorrect. Brave actually does a decent job of anti-fingerprinting and has strong site isolation. I prefer Cromite because it isnt associated with Brave or any crypto.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • I would never use Vivaldi just because it is closed source, doesnt add proper fingerprinting protections, and does not provide a secure default config. Cromite and Brave are better options (for me).

  • Immich Public Proxy: Safely share your photos and albums without exposing your Immich instance
  • I like to judge software based on its actually merit and not on the theoretical possibility it is vulnerable. It very well could be vulnerable, but without auditing it we are just speculating, which in the real world means nothing. Every project starts somewhere, without community, followers, and "5 years of support". I am not saying I would trust this software in a security critical situation, just that your speculation means nothing.

  • Immich Public Proxy: Safely share your photos and albums without exposing your Immich instance
  • And? It lowers the attack surface of Immich. Attack surface is about the surface, whatever an attacker can use to get leverage. This acts as an intermediate between Immich and a public viewer, controlling how a threat actor can access a private Immich server. It helps reduce external attack surface while increasing overall system complexity. Since the project is small, it is easy to audit the code.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • Is there any good reason to use Vivaldi? Nice to see more scripts from you. I have been thinking about making some scripts to automate the deployment of Bubblejail profiles for different apps. I don't run nearly anything without sandboxing, and Bubblejail does not interfer with the Chromium sandbox.

  • Casual gaming rule
  • Only time I downed a greenbeard is when I tossed the compressed gold to my homie, and the greenbeard caught it mid throw and deposited it in under 0.4 sec. Just had no time to explain, me and my homie were already pinging it so i thought they would catch on. They weren't brand new either.

    I regret it, I was so caught off-guard.

  • Looking for a FOSS maps app. (iOS)
  • Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP

  • Seeking advice: Privacy-focused media box with Android app support
  • It would be easy. Just install Waydroid and install an android app on the Android system. Look at Waydroid official install guide and maybe watch a video.

  • Seeking advice: Privacy-focused media box with Android app support
  • It shouldn't be too taxing on the Pi 4 or 5, Waydroid runs an LXC container with x86_64 LineageOS. It works well, but requires Wayland.

  • The GrapheneOS team finally responded to my requests for a comment
  • It does not use adblock plus lists directly. The lists are hosted by Cromite. uBlock Origin is not available for any android chromium browser (other than kiwi I guess). The adblocker works well from my tests. I recommend adding filterlists from https://divested.dev/pages/dnsbl

  • Zen Browser: A New Privacy-Focused Browser(Firefox)
  • It is not security hardened from what I can tell. Most of Librewolf's patches could be applied to build Zen with security hardening. Alternatively, patch Zen browser with Arkenfox user.js (upstream project to Librewolf's security hardened default profile)

    I want to bring some attention to Slidge XMPP Bridges

    It seems like an awesome project that fulfills a lot of the requirements for bridging many popular messaging platforms (like FB messenger, WhatsApp, discord, signal, and more). I wanted to share because I know a lot of us have friends and family who still use antiquated/proprietary communication platforms. Fair warning, I have not tried self hosting it myself yet since my server is kinda of a mess right now. Lmk what y'all think.

    blood-transfusion rule

    Image transcription: 'Today, I operated on a little girl. She needed O- blood. We didn't have any, but her twin brother has O- blood. I explained to him that it was a matter of life and death. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took his blood and he asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they both died'

    Hiya, where do yall get memes.

    Hi, as the title says I am looking for meme communities that share memes. My problem with lemmy (or reddits) main meme communites is that the memes are boring normal shit instead of gay boring normal shit. Mostly kidding but main meme subs are just bland and or basic observations about the world.
