What do you suggest ? Jpeg-xl ? Avif ?

The Archiving group The-Eye did actually made a back up of the Archive torrents. https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/archive.org_dumps/torrents/ They have a text file listing the file list of all the collexted torrents. It’s a text file. That they had to compress. And it’s still around 800Mo big just for that one.

https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-mirror They’ve been supporting dweb solutions for years. Evn if they haven’t enabled back their public dweb.archive.org portal.

Still not possible to transfer your account to other instances. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

Exactly. I was surprised to see my unique named throw-away email being found in the leak, despite having changed it to an uniquely generated throw-away account alias in the year prior. But i don’t mind that much.

However, bad security practices must still be pointed out regardless of it being applied to something important or large. I do still can criticize my friend decision to expose his local server at home, unsecured, even if in the grand matter of things, it is unlikely it will be exploited or impact him in any way.

Now, the only issue having my throw-away address, is that i will have to throw it away once i start receiving spam on it. As far i know, the pirated database wasn’t shared nor necessarily conserved outside of prooving the original clowns hacktivists group involvment, outside of confirmed security analyst.

My bad. Yep, you are correct. I thought the GPL actually prevented you to sell compiled version of a GPL FOSS software (Outside of the original maintainer) but it seems it isn’t compared to this one which force you to keep it free. There’s also limitations on what you can remove so yep. Non-free. Seemed a bit Counter-intuitive to me in the first part. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.en.html

I should probably suggest the GNU Foundation to check this license to compare it, as I often see question of FUTO software license online.

Not in the usual sense, because you can still fully fork it, use it, modify it and redistribute it freely like a FOSS software.

You may use or modify the software only for non-commercial purposes such as personal use for research, experiment, and testing for the benefit of public knowledge, personal study, private entertainment, hobby projects, amateur pursuits, or religious observance, all without any anticipated commercial application. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

The only limitation which make it non-free is :

Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

I don’t really understand if it “prevent you” to remove and/or prevent the modification of the donation to FUTO part of the code. Should not prevent you from adding yours on top of it (As in, adding a prompt as in "If you want to do donate to the project, you can donate to the original app owner (DONATE TO FUTO) or the maintainer of the fork you are using (DONATE TO THE MAINTAINER).) And the obvious limitation of making derivative work of it, non-free of course.

Also, they do reserve themselves rights to abrodge the license for those who abridge it, which i don’t know how legally useful it may be, for license violations compared to protecting the GPL licenses from violations for example.

tl;dr : Seems FOSS to me, as long as :

• You don’t try to make it non-free
• You don’t remove the donation to FUTO part of the app

Just not necessarily FOSS. The code is available and open to a certain limit. Not free however.

GrapheneOS also made me give up my heterosexuality /j

If they are talking about changing search engine, this means they feel impacted by the change. The removal of the Free ad-supported tier. Very likely searching for a paid-search engine is necessary; otherwise, they would have just kept using MetaGer.

Yes.

Yep, and Google own employees are forbidden to protest of that project, if they wish to keep their job.

Excuse me, what. What is your reasoning behind that question ?

What I don’t get, but maybe because of the lack of information I have on the topic

Exactly. That’s also the issue there. It was opt-out by default AND didn’t seemed to give enough info to the end-user about what it does, and why it would be better to keep it enabled. Most people, complain about the forced default decision without any notice, and without any appropriate info to understand if it was a decent change or not. You should only enable it, IF you understand and ablige to what it does.

Exactly that. Each instances has it’s own rules and as such, you can make your own on your own instance. Just don’t be surprised that some instances block you for not abliging to their standards, as they also control their own federation, like each individual instances.

First. Let me explain some bits about the Play Store. You are using the Google Play store, so of course, it stores the list of installed apps on your Google account. That’s fairly obvious. However, the relation with the apps generally end there. Some apps might have Google account integration (Google Games for example, or just as a login method) but not more than that. There’s also potential Google ads and Crashalytics, but it ain’t “directly” connected to your Google account (It link your device through an unique ID, which Google could correlate with your logged Google account on this device)

That out of the way :

• ProtonMail android app doesn’t use any of those Google stuff in it.
• You can download their app separately of the Google Play Store. Throught their website, source-code release or F-Droid (Depending of their project. Proton isn’t consistency with those)
• ProtonMail don’t care about your Google account, outside of importing your emails into your new Protonnail account if you choose to do so.

Also, there is still a privacy gain, from using an email address from Protonmail, but only when you use it. It is just a better and more private e-mail provider. If you keep using a Gmail and Outlook email, than you will still issues with those emails addresses be used and read, for ads and analytics. Do note you can use your protonmail address on your Google and Microsoft account. Those services just tend to automatically create an email account on their respectice services by default (Gmail & Outlook) but they aren’t required.

Have you looked at the community you are referring to? Ain’t FOSS. Instead, I would suggest https://removerized.tech/ (Locally in your browser AND hostable, under GPL-3) https://github.com/yossTheDev/removerized Or rembg https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg

Well, on my ESTA, they said the social medias disclosure is optional. Just a tool to help you confirm your intents visiting the US (or to be withheld against you as well) https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/faq?lang=en&focusedTopic=Privacy and Security&answerToDisplay=How will CBP use my social media information collected through the additional question that was added to the ESTA application in December 2016%3F

Maybe you would be interested into maintaining Gradience instead of making a new LibAdwaita theming app from scratch ? Just thinking, haven’t tested it but I don’t see any straight reasons for one over the other outside the maintainership. https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience

They don’t. They rely entirely on donations (and sponsorship donations). It also mean, they have less resources to maintain and develop their software, ESPECIALLY Conqueror since it’s not as much well-maintained compared to other parts of the KDE software suite. Plus, Firefox do maintain their own web-engine, while KDE just use the WebKit one, so even more reasons that Firefox can’t substain with the resources KDE currently has.
