One thing you can do with your arch build is use the fingerprinting tool to see how unique you are, then get a new identity, then go back and do it again. Does it now say you’re one of 2 people who have used the tool, or does it show you’re (again) unique? If the latter, then it’s working (at least enough) properly.
Interesting. I would have expected the useragent string to be part of the user configuration files that are automatically created in the browser profile directory. I’ve not used Tor browser package from Arch yet but curious to do some testing.
This is DeltaChat desktop client but not with the default Electron. Compile instructions for Debian, Arch Linux and openSUSE. One Linux distribution has this packaged : NixOS, package name kdeltachat-unstable. The software developer is also active in the DeltaChat forum. Posting this here to give this project some more attention...
I’ve compiled kdeltachat yesterday and it is different from the default Electron based Deltachat desktop app. At startup it immediately shows a big configuration screen inviting the user to fill in email address, SMTP port and a lot more text fields. The default Deltachat app looks polished and much nicer for “normies”. Ignoring and closing that configuration part and it looks like a simple Qt app without much colors so I guess it the app is a work in progress. Maybe I’ll provide some screen shots later.
Decided to test some browser fingerprinting this morning via the Cover Your Tracks tool by @eff. @brave, @librewolf, and (no surprise) @torproject all performed (or appeard to perform) better than @mullvadnet.
Dunno. I like uBlock Origin a lot but disabling scripts per site is not something that feels very comfortable for me. With LibreJS it can be quite a hassle but I’m already quite used to that, and on the way I kind of learn things. Like that blocking scripts about Apple and Google logins at Twitter with LibreJS helps with clutter free reading and not being asked to login.
You did tag indeed, in the sense of just looking at the plain text of your post but it appears that Lemmy has not fully implemented all. Maybe indeed different front-ends having different implementations.
I watched a few statuses on Twitter with this Userstyle using Tor and then added blocking of the Google and Apple login scripts and without having to use a Twitter login. Never got asked by Twitter to login. Nitter was for sure much nicer when it still worked but this is good enough for me when I would really want to look up a Twitter page (which rarely happens).
I’ve only used Nitter in the past to read the status of a page of someone on Twitter. Sadly lots of people and organizations are still sitting on their Twitter account :( Some open source projects still use their Twitter account as their main communication tool (VLC being a recent example) to the rest of the world. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39789300With this Userstyle I could see the timeline of an account today, without needing a Twitter account and it being clutter free.
tl;dr I propose a Fedi Union consisting of the developers of Phanpy, Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy, and PieFed. That will work as a way to fund all of the services collectively (with the option to still go to their individual patreons and fund them seperately) and as a way for them to communicate to help all the services be more...
But it’s his instance. The whole point is that you run your own if you want a different approach to administration.
You seem to keep looking at this as the admin of your self hosted instance with only you as the only user. With large instances there comes the responsibility of moderation and that is a thing that Gargron has been lacking with years ago. And keeping the door open for new sign-ups while the idea of Federation is to decentralize, and people repeatedly asking you to show new users to other instances but not doing so is just plain horrible imho.
If you have not followed any of the conversations on Mastodon in the past then it could be more difficult to understand. Let me just try to summarize this a bit. I give credits to Gargron to pulling off Mastodon and being an example for other to give a boost to Fediverse development (Before Mastodon there were a few things but all a bit niche kind of. Mastodon then profited from a few Twitter, Tumblr and what not Exodus moments to get more popular). But other than that Gargron should have taken responsibility. As far as I remember the Mastodon app was just pointing to dot social at some point, nice for masses of new users, but not in the spirit of decentralization (Going from one silo to another ? And yeah, simply migrate to another instance, not every person will do so) You cannot point confused masses of people to just your flagship instance, and do no moderation. This has all improved by now. Now imagine that your own nice instance got several thousands of users (I think I remember that social.tchncs.de/explore went over 20k users in 2018 with the first Twitter Exodus causing some initial server troubles. Today the same server shows 4K active users). What would you do ? In case of the Mastodon social flagship I believe they eventually hired moderators. Ironically Gargron is quoted here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)#C…
