This is the primary reason why I still use Brave. There is ungoogled chromium and Thorium, but Brave has some useful privacy features that they don't, it just requires some debloat.

Ah, moral relativism. I believe there is no way around the idea that without religion, there is no such thing as morality. It all comes down to the question: how do you know what's right and wrong? If you don't have an external moral code, that is, you decide what is right and wrong, then the odds are stacked against you, 1 out of every individual with a unique opinion to ever exist; it is conceited for anyone to believe they are the one. Not even the majority is always correct; at one point in time the majority of the Earth believed slavery was fine, yet today we are so comfortable to say that was evil. I couldn't agree more strongly that it is evil, but what will the majority of society think about our morals in a millennium? Why start "the 21st century popular culture religion" when it is inevitably fallible to time? The only possible solution is an external moral code. That is what the Bible, the Koran, etc... are: absolute right and absolute wrong. If that doesn't exist, why should I believe I'm any better than Hitler? He believed he was right. You wouldn't even be able to reason that murder is evil. Ultimately, there is no other basis for an atheist than: "That's what I feel is right, so that's what I believe."

Sidenote: I am a Christian, so I'd like to briefly correct the "(when women were without worth, slavery was acceptable, etc)" phrase pertaining to Christianity solely. At its core, the Bible teaches the very opposite of sexism and racism, however, misconstrued verses and nominal Christians distort the message.

Windscribe is on the map with one connected node: their DNS service Control D. I know it seems a bit hypocritical and untrustworthy since it is written by a VPN company, but Windscribe is generally regarded as trustworthy, privacy oriented, and not deceiving customers for money [0]. Companies such as Windscribe, Mullvad, IVPN, and Proton are better in almost all cases than something like Surfshark because they minimize the risk of your personal info falling into the wrong hands. Unlike those proprietary companies that will turn over your full browsing history in a heartbeat when in court, companies like Windscribe will have nothing to turn over in the first place. I use Windscribe all the time personally because even if sites profile me, I dislike the fact that they can know the city in which I love just from connecting to the site, so there are a few other benefits.

I think it means that this exploit has been possible since the application was made, the zeroth day.

That was my first thought when I saw it was from Purism

- GrapheneOS, a de-googled fork of open source Android, has amazing privacy features while not compromising on proprietary services that you need to use, UX, or security.

- Glider is the best HN client you can find on Android that is also open sourced and on F-droid

- Proton has amazing VPN, mail, and cloud storage services that are still a bit lackluster in features when it comes to applications (Linux VPN GUI is bad, no cloud storage app or sync) but very capable, affordable, and promising for the future

- Wikipedia. I don't know if this fits exactly, but it has been so useful not only to me in research and studying, but also to voice assistants, web browsers, documentarians, students and countless others.

What are the benefits of this over Session, Matrix, or other E2EE P2P messengers?

I'm always fascinated by these ultra-modern middle-eastern projects. While there is undoubtedly a concern to the focus of time, attention, and money on these projects (rather than daily-life for poorer natives), it is still interesting to see a government attempt developing "the future" complete with cinematic videos and "standard infrastructure but now in this cool shape."
