    Some parts of the container API is not available on Android unfortunately. No container extension will work until that is fixed.

    lemmy.ml was the only general purpose instance when I opened my account. There were only two instances back then - lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml

    A bit of background... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umidigi_A9 > The device is marketed at a price of US$500; in comparison, the Umidigi A9 Pro retails for US$120, a little less than a quarter the price of the Freedom Phone. The Freedom Phone website did not initially publish specifications for the phone, but incomplete information was later published. Finman confirmed to The Daily Beast that the Freedom Phone was manufactured by Umidigi. > In a review of the product, CNET said that the $500 Freedom Phone appeared to be "nearly on par with a $200 budget Android phone." The phone comes with rebranded [Aurora Store](https://auroraoss.com/) and calls it " 'uncensorable' Freedom Phone app store" https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/the-maga-targeted-freedom-phone-has-a-breathtaking-amount-of-red-flags/ > As pointed out by XDA's [Mishaal Rahman](https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1415779874426531848) on Twitter, the phone's "PatriApp" Store appears to be no more than a rebranded Aurora Store, an open source client for the Play Store. > As far as getting "censored" apps onto the Freedom Phone, the plan seems to be to preload them. The phone ships with apps for right-wing outlets and services like Newsmax, OANN, Parler, and Rumble.

    Reddit dropping FF Android support???
  • blue_penquin blue_penquin Now 100%

    I think that happens only for some subreddits like r/piracy,imatotalpieceofshit etc. that they deemed 'problematic' or something so they force the app on all posts.

    If you are using uBlock Origin I think this filter removes the element: www.reddit.com##xpromo-untagged-content-blocking-modal

    I downloaded RSSGuard and it appears that I can’t import my rss feed into it and they are online based?

    Both.

    Add a standard account first:

    Then in the "Accounts" drop-down you'll have the option:

    IIRC, RSSGuard has a dark theme https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard (I used to use it on Arch Linux long ago before switching to ttrss in browser; apparently they also have Windows builds).

    Edit. Ah, it also supports custom skins https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/resources/docs/Documentation.md#skin

    You can add a custom search engine to FF desktop if you don't want an add-on or extension.

    about:config -> create browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh (boolean), set to true. Then go to settings there should be an "Add" button:

    (There won't be a favicon though.)

    Good that you brought this up. Perhaps it was patched or worked around in Tor browser ?

    Yea Tor browser worked around it, see https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40432#note_2735850

    There is Trickle https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trickle and Wondershaper https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper#using-wondershaper

    curl/wget both have a --limit-rate option

    There is tc and iptables that can both do latecy and bandwidth quotas.

    NLnet is doing god's work by funding so many important projects based around decentralization and privacy like Kaidan, Fractal, Lemmy, SearX, Briar, previously the Tor Project and many more current ones.

  • Installation medium now comes with installer
  • blue_penquin blue_penquin Now 100%

    It was mainly for contributors and bug-reporters so that they can create a system quickly and reproduce issues/test things; when archinstall was moved to the repos. I haven't seen anyone asking support specific to the install script method yet. And the wiki isn't going away; if anyone doesn't have a basic grasp of for example partitioning or in need of a customized setup they'll still need to read it.

    TLDR: Brave sends referral header for crypto websites, they introduced Tor browsing inside the browser but that header was still being sent inside a Tor session along with the file created in config that keeps track of it. He reported, was assigned a CVE and brave fixed it. Write up by the person who reported it https://community.disclose.io/t/how-i-found-a-tor-vulnerability-in-brave-browser-reported-it-watched-it-get-patched-got-a-cve-cve-2020-8276-and-a-small-bounty-all-in-one-working-day/65 (I don't think Tor on Brave is ready it's best to not use that feature at the moment; since they have a number of issues in GitHub to improve anonymity and stop leakage etc.)

    I'm not completely updated on the events but as I understand the original add-on changed ownership and was sold to a unknown group of Turkish developers against whom the claim of injecting malware is. The Chrome and Edge version is affected but not the Firefox one because the same add-on is maintained by another person for Firefox: https://github.com/LiCybora/NanoDefenderFirefox/blob/master/README.MD and is changing name to distance itself from upstream https://github.com/LiCybora/NanoDefenderFirefox/issues/188. The person making the analysis on the linked thread gorhill is the developer of the popular add-ons uBlock Origin, uMatrix etc.

    Actually Intel is wrong when saying ''upgrading to v5.9 will fix this'' because none of the mainline kernels have the patches. More here https://lwn.net/Articles/834297/#Comments
