Ah, I missed the part where you said “Linux”, sorry!

Ah, I missed the part in the OP where it said “Linux”, whoops

Cromite is a fork of the seemingly-abandoned Bromite, which used to be the only browser recommended by GrapheneOS (other than their own Vanadium). It’s relatively new though so I don’t think that much has been written about it for comparison.

Drinking alcohol or buying it? Because in Britain it’s 18 to buy it yourself but 5 to have it at home.

ass covering

Does that mean covering it with a picture of your own bum or is that just how I make my memes?

Other way round for me, my IRL time contains the serious shit, I come online for escapism

Do you want to see people suffering? Because that’s fucked up.

Firstly, that sounds like a shit situation to be in, so please don’t think I’m dismissing your struggles here.

I don’t live in the same country as you and I have no power to even slightly affect your political situation. I read enough bad news about stuff that I at least have a chance to get involved in that sometimes I want to read some funnies on the internet without having to read about another shit situation. It’s not because I don’t care, it’s because it’s not worth stressing out further about something I cannot do anything about.

So yeah, that’s why people don’t want so see US politics everywhere. Just because something is very important doesn’t mean it’s very important to everyone.

TIL there are multiple open street map apps (obvious that there would be now I think about it!)

Clearly I have nothing to add, but thanks for asking the question, I’ll be saving the post and trying out all the answers!

Assuming this is on an android phone with the normal Google Play Services on it then you should expect that Google can theoretically read anything that appears on it. It’s probably not that sinister though, I don’t imagine anything is being sent away and logged (though it theoretically could be!), there’s probably just some process which reads every incoming notification and if it thinks it sounds like a task then it offers you the prompt. Is this some setting you haven’t disabled in Google Assistant?

So if you disable the thing I suggested, there are ads. Then… don’t?

Edit: I misunderstood what you meant

The good news is that you don’t need to install an app to block ads!

On Android, Firefox is still less secure than Chromium-based alternatives: Mozilla’s engine, GeckoView, has yet to support site isolation or enable isolatedProcess.

From Privacy Guides. Firefox on desktop though!

Don’t forget that it’s riding heavily on the cinematic style of The Matrix. Doesn’t matter though, still an excellent movie, especially if you watched it as a teenager!

Makes sense, and it’s also a more unique acronym

When did the term change from CP to CSAM? Seems like everyone changed overnight.

East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you’re not used to it though

Yes, you have described the concept of a troll, well done.

Redact on desktop worked fine a month or two ago, I imagine the API changes have caught it out though.

Never mind the American politics nonsense, Brave has a history of slightly dodgy behaviour. Replacing websites ads with their own, keeping donations meant for creators, hijacking referral links and adding in their own, a lot of cryptocurrency shenanigans, and that’s just what’s on Wikipedia!
