Having privacy should be a user choice. I am firmly in the Apple ecosystem and in the EU. Apple could engineer it such that interoperability means giving up privacy. User can choose. Apple could show in the App Store/settings exactly which data is leaked. Apple is using privacy as a tactic.

Very much this! This is about removing (if it at wall will do that) without fixing the root cause. How deep can you put your head in the ground? It reminds of the Matrix where they scorched the skies to remove solar power capabilities as a way to block the enemy.

Re:Ask HN: With trust in Firefox gone, is Chrome-ish the only option?
on Monday March 10, 2025 @05:36AM (#43318521)
Although Firefox is still the best to choose from a privacy standpunt currently, I am convinced the time will come where the sponsorship from Google will stop. Then Mozilla will likely not survive and the development of Firefox is left to the community. A browser is a pretty complex piece of software so I doubt the community will be able to maintain that.

Re:Kelsey Hightower: If governments rely on FOSS, they should fund it
on Sunday September 22, 2024 @03:49PM (#41619491)
To me FOSS is very much about governance. If you need a change in an existing piece of FOSS code you hire someone to do this, either in the project itself or, if the project or you doesn’t want that, in a fork.
You can request the change in the existing project in exchange of money, but that to me is asking for trouble.
