Yes, I can see how you might not want to boycott a company if you’re worried about them not making money because of it.

Perhaps his friends do not have smart phones, because they do not want smart phones.

It’s also a compiled blob, which is wonderful news if you were developing closed source software. You don’t have to work around javascript with pesky obfuscation tricks to protect your intellectual property anymore! ♥️

Are there any privacy communities remaining where you can say you’re using tor browser without getting attacked for being an “extremist” and paranoid just because you use tor browser or leaving phone at home?

I say this half jokingly, but after reading the rest of your post and a couple samples from your post history, I can tell you that “using the tor browser” and “leaving phone at home” is probably not why people call you paranoid.

You will get one update per year, and “only more often that that if there is a critical security fix”.

Here you go brother. Hope this helps.

It’s not impossible to analyze and test compiled binaries.

He didn’t have to know, and he himself knew of the alternatives for people who don’t “know how to gamble”. Nobody in any country can stop you from using your own money in an unwise manner.

When they say such things, the are probably talking about the expected value, where those chances are taken into account, just like the number calculated in this article.

Yes, at least their attempts at destroying privacy comes directly from the government.

all that happened to yuzu is a slight name change so i don’t expect much more here.

All of the commits for Suyu, the most active yuzu “fork” this year is like 20 different readme/URL changes, lol. Nintendo 100% succeeded in killing it.

From what I understand, the end of the URL string is just one of the clues the browser uses to determine the “type” of received data (https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/), and the true behavior depends on the browser’s specific implementation. A part of the process involves actually reading and analyzing a small portion of the received file to see if the file really is the type that the URL claims it is. For example, I started a quick python server, and made it serve the OP image, except I renamed it as a jpg file (without actually converting the image of course). When saving the picture inside the browser, Firefox correctly identifies the file as a png image: While edge incorrectly tries to save the image as a jpg image:

Regarding your “MP3” file specifically, opening it in a hex editor reveals that the actual file contents identifies itself as an M4A file, despite what the URL claims:

So, you should be good to download them any way you find convenient, and then just renaming them to the proper extension afterwards.

You probably discussed it because you were aware and interested in it, and your awareness and interest showed through in your other trackable habits outside of your chatroom. You only notice when they guess your interests correctly.

What do you mean brother? The whole point of this paper is that the youth of age 18-24 in 2024 are not behaving like the youth of age 18-24 in 2009 up to 2018.

Unfortunately this analysis is a year over year comparison over the same age groups, not an age over age comparison in the same year. So your claim would not apply in this case.

AFAIK there is no need to re-encode, since Youtube videos are stored and served in chunks anyways. The change is that they are now slipping in the ad chunks as if they were a part of the normal video chunk stream.

Here’s an image viewer example with 0 exposed HTML elements (all UI rendered through a single canvas) and 0 human readable code (all client side code compiled to webassembly bytecode). Trying to block unwanted content in this kind of site would be closer to cracking a video game or patching an android app.

slowly open it up to the point where you can actually install regular linux apps on it

The linux running Chrome OS is completely separated, by design, from the virtual machine that runs linux apps under Chrome OS.

Definitely not to have android apps on a Linux tablet, because in-waydroid rotation doesn’t work, and rotating the tablet itself breaks the windowing system until you reboot the container. Issue first reported in 2021.

The compile process was modified to decrypt and unpack the “corrupted” test zip file, which was actually a code patch, and apply said code patch before assembly of the final binaries.
