just read the article at the link...

I'm Russian and I don't remember anything like that, so even if it is Russian it's fairly obscure

WSLg worked just fine on Win10

Just make sure the phone has custom ROMs available.

i dont know whether brave tracks you, which is why i said "maybe"

For context - it's talking about the Ghidra decompiler there. It's written in C++, Ghidra itself is written in Java.

it tracks you less, and the tracking can be disabled. You could always go for librewolf ungoogled chromium, maybe brave, or whatever else you desire

sadly, discord ToS forbid "self-botting", so the only legal option is to use a Discord bot, and that's far from seamless and requires guild admin cooperation, I assume that's why they aren't advertising it

why would privacy enthusiasts not use Matrix, considering it's fairly easy to self-host?

they haven't, they simply host a VM with Whatsapp and connect to it via Whatsapp Web

Russia is, albeit I wouldn't exactly call these elections democratic...

Personally, I had great results with Searx - a metasearch engine that aggregates results from different engines. It supports DDG bangs (!g uses Google search, !!g redirects to Google search) and language flags (:en uses English, :ru uses Russian, etc)

the tools don't disable all telemetry, besides, most linux distros have no telemetry to disable

waydroid is an anbox fork afaik

there is Element, which is different from Discord, but if you take a few weeks to get used to it it works as a Discord replacement just fine

another related term is Free Culture, in analogy to Free Software

Flash Lineage OS without GApps, use microG if necessary. That will be miles better than either stock Android or iOS. Sure, that isn't really general user-accessible, but I'd expect it to be pretty easy for the general HN reader.

Or use Pinephone if you want "actual" privacy. Librem 5 is an alternative as well, albeit an overpriced one.

why not just use something like i3?

well, GNU's Not Unix, and thus GNU/Linux is not Unix either

I use Maubot with an RSS plugin to send new feed entries to Matrix

talk to guild admins, ask them to setup bridges

Guess this is the "Linux Subsystem for Windows" some people have been missing... Too bad it requires 2 GPUs

well, if you write a DRM in JS, it becomes law...

That's exactly how the Japanese filesharing scene developed - there's 3 proprietary programs that do just that (Winny, Share, Perfect Dark). Torrents aren't that popular there, and Japanese content torrent uploads aren't usually done by Japanese people.

My friend did catch it (or a similar virus), so it can be seen in the wild indeed

No it's not me, I don't even play games that much

i switched to a self-hosted searx instance and it was way better than ddg for me, although i do still have to switch to google in very rare cases

Playing piano doesn't require analytical thinking either. Motor memory is just another set of patterns, and rest helps establish the patterns in our mind.

It needs to be verifiable to be protected from spoofing, and encrypted to be protected from listening. You can't verify arbitrary network traffic because servers aren't stateless, but you can encrypt some traffic (https). Sadly, the encrypted traffic still has some metadata, such as server ip, sometimes hostname, request size.

Either way, it can't be protected in the way filecoin/gridcoin are protected.

What you're saying is only Windows users will have telemetry... which isn't that bad, for those who want telemetry in their software
