Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.

The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.

My guess is someone needed it at some point, and jumped through the hoops to get it approved. It has no ongoing cost, so even if it takes staff time to review and set it up in the repository, it would easily pay for itself from not having a subscription. But it would rely on having staff with previous experience to not lose your gains through lost time learning.

I use GIMP at work. It’s officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.

I’m pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.

I guess my position is that I am not worried about someone confirming content exists on my server. But I don’t live in the US, if I did I might be more worried. I also geofence to my country to limit exposure.

Thanks!

So after I save and close a group… where do I find it?

Cheers for that. Many of these issues allow an authenticated user to do admin actions if they do the right things, so it seems you should never allow a user that you don’t fully trust to have an account.

But outside of this, there isn’t anything in there that on its own worries me given the nature of the platform (that is, that if it all burnt down I could retrieve all data from other sources). I’m no expert but a cursory look shows a bunch of potential issues that may be layered with other issues but no clear attack path except with prior knowledge.

These should obviously be fixed but there’s nothing that makes me want to rip my server off the open internet in a hurry.

What kids of things?

I’ve never worried that much because it’s not critical data and it’s containerised in Docker, but I am curious about specifics because large numbers of people expose it to the internet (through reverse proxies).

Isn’t there an assumption it would be behind a reverse proxy… At least I hope that’s the assumption.

I recommend Findroid as well! You can download and play within the app, much closer to a netflix experience.

The process manager lets you kill any process.

You can also click the do it anyway button when it’s waiting on shutdown, but I’ve had less consistent success with that.

Ah I guess it’s that it shows what they want then they have to install the app to buy it?

Maybe this article is intended for advertisers to convince them of the value.

Isn’t the idea that if you advertise you will get more people looking at/downloading your app and therefore rank higher?

It doesn’t make it not paid product placement, but I don’t think it implies that people are buying spots on the ranking.

It does imply the rank is almost useless because most high rankers are just spending a lot on ads.

Yeah, they do ship to Oz. But you can’t pay with an NZ card so you’ve gotta do a whole thing where you send money internationally to a friend then they pay and order and receive it then ship it to you. It seems like a big ask for contacting a distant relative out of the blue and asking them to do that.

Same here! I have one but can’t get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding 🙁

My kids use Chromebooks at school. What I call “Word” they call “Docs”. It’s very clear why Google gives this operating system away for free.

Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.

No, they removed that clause some 2 or 3 years back.

Isn’t the narrowing part the not bold bit, that specifically says it’s about your use of Firefox? As in you save bookmarks which are synced via Firefox servers. It needs to be a worldwide license in order to allow them to store that data on their CDN. It needs to be royalty-free because that it saying you can’t ask Firefox for money because they have your data. Non-exclusive is them saying they aren’t claiming you can’t also give the right to others.

I would be less concerned about the part in bold and much more concerned about what they are allowed to do with that data.
