    It is fine on the balenced setting. It is less fine when you run it with constant checking.

    Not as great of choice from a security perspective

    I think the hardest part is the DNS and federation

    Simplex Chat is better in many ways. The biggest reason is that you can self host the server.

    It lacks a security audit

    Have you used it before? I'm curious about how it works. I don't personally have a use case but it seems very cool.

    I don't think Briar could be on iOS due to Apple TOS.

    Briar is really interesting but it doesn't work as well for a casual messager. It is a bit complex to setup and very hard to understand unless you have strong knowledge on the subject. I think it is very powerful but breaks the standard convention most messaging applications follow.

    I wish Piped and Invidious were federated. It would make it so much harder to block.

    If one instance gets blocked it could just pull video from another instance. Combine this with some sort of caching system and you would be golden.

    Newpipe works for me. Try updating to the latest version.

    Some Invidious instances are still partially functional.

    Use something Firefox based that has it already disabled.

    I use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on mobile.

    Non of those are privacy focused. Ladybird isn't even finished yet.

    Targeted marketing is not privacy friendly ever. Mozilla doesn't need your support. It is up to them to make a profit not you. Don't sacrifice yourself for the sake some some company.

    Use something else like Fennec or Mull. Also you can configure Firefox with user.js

    I could care less about Mozilla. Supporting for profit businesses is kind of silly as they will never support you. Buy something that you like but don't have blind brand loyalty. You should serve yourself first.

    I don't have much sympathy for a locked down ecosystem

    I hope this goes without saying but please do not run this on machines you don't own. The good news: - the exploit seems to require user action The bad news: - Device Firewalls are ineffective against this - if someone created a malicious printer on a local network like a library they could create serious issues - it is hard to patch without breaking printing - it is very easy to create printers that look legit - even if you don't hit print the cups user agent can reveal lots of information. This may be blocked at the Firewall TLDR: you should be careful hitting print

    That's sounds strange to say but hear me out. Before ransomeware there was no economic incentive for companies to worry about security. There was a strong "why would you hack us" vibe that made it hard to talk management into doing anything basic like locking down ports. Nowadays everyone and there mom is worried about getting compromised. I've seen companies who historically didn't care at all about IT suddenly invest heavily in security. We are now much more secure than we were previously as everyone has suddenly realized that the internet had a huge risk. I doubt we will see any of the old style worms we had back in the day that would infect millions of machines.

    I haven't heard anything in months. Maybe there is legal trouble?

    TL;DR the dev behind Duckstation arbitrary changed the license and is likely commiting GPL violations

    SS7 is vulnerable to attack. However, the types off attacks on the video don't affect Signal as it requires a pin. (Make sure you set your pin to something strong and secure)

    I like riley and the tech news but this channel and gaming linked are ran like crap, 1. Enough of focusing on the negative, every other news place and their mothers already do that. jeez. 2. dont upload these at 9 - 10pm (I'm US based but they're in Canada so I expect its similar). Your audience is not looking for night time news, upload it in the morning. 3. Dog crap thumbnails and titles. I cannot tell you how many I wouldn't click on if I didn't already know that they would talk about at least 3 other subjects rather then just say iOS 18. A lot of people don't care about iOS 18 but do care about say AMD not treating it's partners right or vice versa, so for love of god make your titles and thumbnails a summary of sorts that show at least more of what the video is actually going to be about. "iOS 18 fixes everything (Almost) / AMD Mistreating Partners / Intel lost the PS6". 4. this is explaining 1. more the actual video content for the most part is good, like to the point and good, but the quips are often based in "oop another apple L" and then "oop another intel L" and then "oop another AMD L". This leads to A an incorrect perspective, If you need evidence I will provide but you have went out of your way to make some mean hearted joke about someone or something that it will jsut bend the actual fact giving some people straight up misinformation if they don't see another source or look deeper. B it's just depressing and not fun, I'm not saying we should celebrate a big companies success yeah they are all evil to an extent but can we look at the cup and say it's half full occasionally cause yeah sure Android already had all these features for years but it IS cool that apple users now get to enjoy them too, it just is man. and I have z flip 2, I hate apple! but I'm so tired of the hating everything, not everything you report on is bad but it's like you want it to be. This message is to the writers, also for the love of god get better sources I swear sometimes the segment is purely based on a line from PC Gamer saying "the game is bad". Anyways please fix this or I'm out because I'm tired of this crap.
