considering region locks and region based licenses are still a thing, you’re probably more of a criminal in their eye than openai will ever be

well, for one firefox is not a stripped down browser but one with conveniences like push notifications, safebrowsing and other things, while ungoogled chromium is a specialized browser built for those who don’t need all that. don’t forget also that chrome can’t be patched up on many fronts, ublock’s dev gorhill has written about them here

that being said, mozilla could make a first time setup page with an option for convenience and another with a menu for selecting which services do you want. but I wouldn’t hold my breath

It’s informative in terms of which parties are basically notified that you started using it. why the fuck does zen load discord, x, bunnyfonts, and whatnot?

I can only hope floorp and zen devs are ashamed of what have they done. all of those third party domains like discord, x and those mundane ones are totally unnecessary

the GPL does not protect against information hoarding

that depends on the driver that directly talks to the gpu. these cards are still cryptographically locked down to stay on low clocks when it is not driven by the official driver

well that I can agree on. still, personally I would choose neither, and I hope the EU won’t take them as examples

lots of people already fail to verify what they read online. that’s modern society I’m afraid. but I guess it’s not something new, probably you have also heard of the misconception “they said it on TV so it must be true!”

this comment might come off as me thinking they are stupid, but I think for the most part they are just endlessly ignorant

you would be surprised how many believe most things an AI says. I would think its rougly the same userbase that can’t tell the differences between firefox and chrome even in generalities, other than its looks. “the consumerbase”

I’m pretty sure they are doing this to try win over chrome users

never said anything about the US, but fuck that too

defend the surveillance state! live to work, and to praise the Great Leader!

you should perhaps find a little energy and read the whole message. especially the paragraph that starts with “Discussion”. because that paragraph is the rule. what do you not understand about this?

they are using zoom? eww

why use crc32 though? do you have some program that only works with that?

that should patch it up, mostly. flatpak gives real isolation. It’s not 100% though, things can leak, like I think X11 access is unlimited, so wine programs can read other window contents, capture and inject keystrokes and mouse events if they are prepared to do it. but wayland windows they can’t see or even know if they are open. but they may still be able to mess with your bottles config and other things installed for the bottles flatpak container

yeah on windows its… limited. you can make virtual playback devices (speakers) with programs like vb-cable to separate them. you can then set up monitoring for them so that you hear it and… you can’t mix it with your mic so that’s no good.

there was also Synchronous Audio Router. but it’s buggy and microsoft made sure it never ever gets an update

I would prefer the setup to be easy on the client side

you mean for the viewers, right? this shouldn’t make any complications for them

I see and I support that. but at 2 out of 3 places I have seen, context was missing making it harder to understand your message

Recently there was a discussion about an r/privacy mod, carrotcypher. they have been mod on that sub since before the reddit exodus but they are making very strange decisions, to put it lightly. maybe this is their work too
