They constantly do, it’s just for less flashy stuff like drivers or kernels so no one cares.

They are not illegal heroes, they are pentesters and were paid by train company SPS who were using these trains.

They had a talk at CCC 2 years ago, and last one too I think. It’s pretty funny.

Their storage for servers at least is stupidly expensive.

Easy to set up, and just works. I can’t share any of the OP’s annoyances - everything is fast. Admittedly, I don’t really use the web client. Just the Android app from F-Droid and the linux AUR package element-desktop.

…did you read the ad…? It quite obviously answers your question and calls out the difference. The large, glaring one. The one that probably even a first grader would grasp.

That’s not a problem of the technology though, that’s human idiocy.

Because it’s a naive take. Technology can help us make the world a better place for all - standing in the way are greedy pigs and asshole, ignorant politicians.

“AI” isn’t the problem, our approach to it is.

It’s not illegal but manufacturers are making it harder to impossible. That must be illegal.

It’s public, it’s handed off to everyone :)

As long as you can flash them, everything’s possible.

In that spirit: Fuck Apple to hell.

Corpos are generally inefficient.

I present: The intellectual prowess of bigots.

You only need uBlock basically, beware of other extensions. They’re mostly snake oil and Firefox has anti-fingerprinting features per default.

Firefox has by default as well.

Go read up on the Digital Markets Act, everything will be spelled out for you.

Do you really not grasp the fundamental difference in magnitude between controlling a store where a limited amount of media is sold versus a store for applications of everyday life for basically everyone?

Because Apple is a Gatekeeper. With their control over the entire operating system and which apps and firmware you’re allowed to install (“ecosystem”), they have a lot more economic power over other companies and people than Nintendo.

The Switch is a game console, smart phones are the portal to modern society.

If the app works as a VPN as well, then that works. I was not aware that the DDG browser does that.

I did have the browser app a few months ago, but didn’t see any such functionality. Of course, by working as a VPN that works.

That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.

EDIT: Unless, of course, it works as a VPN, which apparently it does.
