BakaBT is a private tracker that has lots of high quality anime/manga artbooks, soundtracks and extras like that. That’s all I use aside from Nyaa, but my needs are pretty basic in general

For real, though, I really wish I could easily run Office with Bottles or something like that. Never managed to make it work

Prime !nottheonion@lemmy.world material right here

Absolutely love her style. Bought some prints from her back in 2016 and she sent me tons of cute stickers and a thank you note, it was really nice

Y’all should check out their new single too: https://youtu.be/rpsKDDGcDpw

He was the developer working on Bromite with csagan, and he was likely not the cause of the delays, since the builds on his repo have been keeping up with Chromium all year. I’ve been using it since Bromite stopped getting updates and it works really well. Brave was my second option because of the fingerprinting protection and adblocking, but they don’t disable JavaScript JIT like Bromite and now Cromite. User script support is also really handy for me

Username checks out

Looks like a shiso leaf, which you can eat and is usually served with sushi and sashimi, whenever I order from any sort of fancier place

You beat me to it, so let me recommend what I check when Anna’s Archive and LibGen don’t have what I need (usually recent articles that are not on Sci-Hub): Standard Template Construct, here’s their GitHub repo

Good article about this: https://seirdy.one/posts/2022/02/02/floss-security/

Yeah, for now I’m skeptical because they’re Meta and they have to find ways to monetize this service, but on one day they’ve already overshadowed the rest of the fediverse easily. Even if they can’t profit as effectively off other instances, their instance is already ridiculously big and profitable regardless; the scraping thing really sounds like fear mongering. So if the only downside of federating with Threads is that my federated timeline would get cluttered with business accounts posting ads, I’d be alright with it, as long as I can get more content on my Home timeline from LOTS of people I want to follow who are not willing to interface with Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. Unless they force regular user accounts to publish advertisements to people outside the Threads instance, I’ll take it

On their app that should be harder to skip because the timeline is based on their algorithm and ads should be unavoidable, but how the hell would they force a user on another platform to see it? And how would they even directly target this person with a specific ad? If what people on instances federated with Threads see on their federated timeline are regular posts from business accounts placed in chronological order, I’m guessing there’d be no problem just blocking those “profiles” and moving on

Agreed. I have an account on Fosstodon and I like how they handled it. Not too friendly with Meta, not jumping on the bandwagon when we don’t even know how it works yet

No problem! You can find admins and users talking a lot about this by searching for the #p92 and #fedipact hashtags, lots of instances are preemptively defederating from Meta domains, although the software hasn’t implemented federation yet

Yeah, and they’ve been contacting big instance admins already: https://hub.fosstodon.org/facebook-fosstodon-fedi

They meet the criteria for Privacy Guides, at the very least: https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/1312

One of the biggest public trackers for the last 10 years that recently closed down: https://torrentfreak.com/tag/rarbg/

Their privacy policy and data flow have been the same since the buyout, they were transparent about any implications and the mitigations put in place to protect users, so I’m alright with it. The biggest problem I have with them is sometimes getting rate-limited because of a VPN or Tor, but that’s it. Alternatives like DDG and Brave Search are usually bad for results in my native language, so I’ve been using Startpage for a couple years now and it’s nice

Even worse:

The identity and location of the activist was already known to the French authorities (they had already been evicted once before for squatting, and the nature of squatting means that their location is known).

So they were probably not using a VPN to connect to Proton Mail, which was the specific target, since e-mail and VPN providers were treated differently under Swiss law until Proton and Threema fought the government on this issue. Tutanota had a similar issue. If you’re gonna rely on these services to break their jurisdiction’s laws, you should be covering your own ass with bulletproof opsec, because businesses with millions of accounts are not gonna shut down and burn evidence in order to protect one user. In the Proton case, the activist apparently connected to a known Proton Mail account with no VPN or Tor; in the Tutanota case, only e-mails that were not end-to-end encrypted would pose at risk
