I feel like people lately go a bit overboard when it's about protecting their "data".

As far as I see all it does is just send one single number that shows that there is someone using this specific operation system and it does not include any personal or unique to the user information.

In my opinion this does not even qualify as "my data"

That's not a autismus thing. Basically everybody has this problem nowadays. https://youtu.be/VYJtb2YXae8

It is explained here https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

They don't explicitly mention Firefox but:

"Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. "

and

"Chromium has decent exploit mitigations, unlike the available alternatives. "

Since I myself lack the knowledge and skills to judge this, I have to trust the word of the developers.

Edit, correction. They do mention Firefox

"Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface."

Hell yeah, moding Skyrim was a absolute pain in the ass. Will definitely give your tool a try. Thanks!

Just as an example:

https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

"Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life."

https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off

"Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active."

And those are only some of the official known possibilities

There is no such thing as "off" on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.

If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.

KeepassXC supports passkeys as well.

I got 150 hours out of this game and I think that is very much all i will ever play.

For a good while it was even quite interesting because there were still a lot of new things to discover.

But then you started to do things just to get them done not because they were particularly fun or interesting.

If they don't implement some fundamental new way to play this game or combine existing mechanics better together I don't think anything could pull me back.

And i hope procedural generation starts to die very soon. Throwing the same basic ingredience into a mixer does not give you something new but more of the same. It's boring.

Könnte erklären, warum ich die letzten Wochen immer so extrem müde bin.

We should really start concentrating more on decentralization.

Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.

What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.

As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.
