Mullvad controversy in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] 1 point 1 day ago

That's quite vague and speculative. Unless you know a law, it's like saying, in Honduras it could be legally challenging to eat an orange on a Tuesday. I don't know for sure as I'm not a lawyer. As you can see, I just made that up, but unless you know a law, you're just excusing the donation on speculation. I'm in Europe and the speculation sounds like absolute poppycock.

    A big sims head I know adores House Flipper 1 and 2.

    InZoi scratches that Sims itch. Paralives is promising but quite new.

    Stardew Valley for relationship building and farming.

    Rim World is great for colony building in space.

    Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

    Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

    (ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

    About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

    Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

    Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

    Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)
     

    cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/5707453

    The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

    it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

    They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

    Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

    We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

    Never forgive. Never forget.

    Looking for Moderators (lemmy.ml)
     

    Hi, all.

    We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

    If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

    If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

    Thanks,

    CrypticCoffee

    Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser (github.com)

    And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

    The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

    It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
