You can already block all js and give specific allowances through uBO. Having both uBO and NoScript is redundant, just FYI

Well, it’s not like email is a particularly private protocol to begin with. Proton has PGP encryption under the hood for proton to proton communication. But proton to whatever is not more private than using your hosters mail service.

Last stable version is over 7 years old. Ouch…

I use Mullvad DNS when I’m mobile and unbound on my pi when I’m at home

Of course there are alternatives. That’s the cherry on top of this crap pile: only regular non tech folks are affected. Nerds and actual criminals will just run an xmpp or simplex server and not care about the legislation.

Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

I think the nobara updater works with yum. You should be able to access to the yum update history and find out what audio related packages got installed in the update and downgrade those. Anything with pipewire or alsa in the package name for example

Kernel 6.11 has been super buggy for me. About 3 weeks ago Nobara rolled out that kernel if I’m not mistaken. Do you still have a 6.10 grub option to try out? Since the live usb works that could be the issue.

If all your boot entries are 6.11, boot into the oldest and downgrade that

Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop

How do you dl them? yt-dlp is asking to pass credentials as well.

Useless??? Ever since the pandemic and the need for a robust remote work infrastructure, the amount of cybersecurity related job offers has exploded. And they’re very well paid where I live.

The bikes would still be shipped from india because it’s cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that’s 3 times the price because it’s been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn’t. So no, most people wouldn’t change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn’t be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I’ve seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

I’m not okay with people lying, why would that be different for AI?

I find this site useful to compare messengers. I would trust Wire a tad more because it’s hosted in a country with stronger GDPR regulation, vs Signal being hosted in the US.

For my needs, XMPP with Omemo has been unbeatable for a long time

Passkeys are a great option for people that don’t wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That’s not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.

The level of comfort, or rather lack thereof, you’re fine with dictates how you’ll use your devices. Privacy is mandatory to me, so every app that refuses to work with my setup gets the boot. Banking is done in the browser with a separate PIN device. The moment the device gets discontinued I’ll go back to paper or phone like an old person. FOSS apps are FOSS and will break because they don’t have millions of ad money to fund development. I know that and learned to accept that fixing setups is part of my digital life. That’s just one end of the spectrum though. Everyone needs to find their balance with privacy to avoid getting fed up by it.

Well that sarcasm definitely backfired mate. The device I have is a QR Code scanner that works like a phone, with the important distinction that I can do with my actual phone what I damn well please.

Don’t throw in all of europe into one pot. The banks in my country still sell separate PIN machines for 2FA, which work great.

You could use ProjectLibre although it might be overkill
