it's bad if you think local single user.

if you actually use remote X capabilities, wayland is no replacement.

also it deals better if you consider apps hostile and want to still run them with some integration with the desktop but still safely isolated. X complements chroot et al much better. which I guess fits this project since this is pretty much Wine but for bsd/osx instead of linux/win

the article fails to mention that whatsapp already have central knowledge of shared content.

something very hidden is the fact that group messages are encrypted using facebook owned keys. also the recently introduced business account are completely owned and controled by facebook in terms of encryption keys.

basically what india and other countries are pushing is not ground breaking academic concepts, but just plain good old sovereign rigths to demand data the foreign company already have

i run non default browser settings (disable canvas and force my fonts)

i see captcha everywhere. and try to avoid when i can. basically if it is a comercial site, bye. but gov sites are using it too now.

from time to time i even get into captcha hellban. which should be criminal since they are used in gov sites. hellban is specially cruel as your entire IP is served the same 10 round of images infinitelly.

adblockers like uBlocker Origin was even better for low speed internet than amp.
lol. google is sweeping the entire internet not catering to chrome users under the rug and you're concerned with popups on the top 10 bigger sites
Re:Windows 11 will create heaps of needless trash on Sunday June 27, 2021 @05:02PM (#27655289)
people are forgetting w11 will be the useless windows version.

everyone knows that between actual windows versions (3, 95, vista, xp, 10) there are the BS money making by selling flashy badges to PC OEM manufacturers (98, me, forgot the name , 8)

so obviously w11 can be safely ignored by everyone.

so much data extrapolation its hard to follow.
