I hope they figure out the mechanics of tab management instead of just giving their UI a visual overhaul.

For example, if you have inactive tabs in Chrome or a fork, and you close your first active tab, you get sent to the next active tab. Even if you close all your active tabs, the inactive ones just wait patiently for you to notice them.

In Firefox, if you close your first active tab, it pulls an inactive tab into the active tab list and focuses you on that.

It's kind of painful to see Google implementing features Firefox had first, but better than Firefox

Old Infomaniak stance: privacy without compromise

Infomaniak describes itself as an "ethical cloud" company and one that doesn't compromise on "ecology, privacy, or people."

New Infomaniak stance: Trust The Institutions!

Infomaniak spokesperson Thomas Jacobsen... believed Yen showed a "lack of knowledge of Swiss political institutions" and called for finding the right balance, not looking for extremes.

Infomaniak argued that anonymity prevents justice, saying there must be a "happy medium" to prevent the digital landscape becoming a "Wild West."

Either they are fundamentally changing their way of doing business, or their definition of privacy does not align with reality's definition of privacy.

Something OP conveniently fails to point out is that in China, online ID verification is already mandatory. It just requires feeding your private details into social media sites manually.

Lao Dongyan (劳东燕), an outspoken law professor at Tsinghua University, questioned the government’s commitment to personal information protection by pointing out that the country’s billion plus internet users had already been obligated to surrender their personal information to hundreds of sites and apps as a condition of use. There is little hope of protecting this information, she said, if the bulk of it has already been relinquished to private interests.

So unlike US laws that will undeniably worsen privacy, this is a step sideways.

I wish. Elon Musk was inspired by WeChat, and the US has already started sending undesirables to faraway labor camps. Praise of the Taliban has been... Not uncommon in conservative circles as far back as 2021, and there's nothing unusual about the current administration copping CCP rules while pretending to oppose them.

I pretty slowly tend to avoid linking directly to state-run media, but there's a world of difference between, say, PBS vs Radio Free America. And I hate that the term "propaganda" doesn't really have a meaning, because a lot of inauthentic people can really abuse the language is a result. People inherently want to avoid bias, and they certainly want to avoid propaganda, so the ones who have the advantage are the ones who can define the words. I have seen pro-China evangelists declare anything with a modicum of American influence as propaganda, for example...

HP strikes me as the stereotype that tankies believe represents every liberal, constantly using state media sources. Interestingly, I've also seen tankies use American state media when those sources say the government sucks at something, or that the Soviet Union is somehow great.

The version of Graphite provided did not include the ability to activate the phone's microphone or camera...it only enabled its operators access to encrypted communications on the hacked devices

"Only" Is underselling that a bit, I think.Personal messages are smaller and easier to transmit without erasing suspicion, and they're basically a curated list of things the activists are saying to each other.
