  • Yea, I wasnt entirely clear, I brought up Manifest v3 as a “this is already complicated, and a browser engine is even more complicated” example

    No Chromium fork maintains Mv2 anyways even though it is easier, and yes some do have their own builtin AdBlock and are able to function well that way. But I do not consider that ideal, one would be entirely dependent on their AdBlock implementation where as if a fork maintains Mv2 then you would be able to just change your extension if you don’t like something about it


  • I work in IT and have implemented quite a few MDM systems. For Android, a work profile will be entirely isolated personal data wise. IT can’t see anything beyond the work walls, however, there are a few shared things.

    If work enforces a tougher screen lock setting, it’ll take precedence over your regular lock screen setting. You might also have a few other things change while it’s active, like display time out (if work has a shorter setting).

    We can also see certain shared info like device serial number, IMEI number, OS version, security update version etc. Depending on the configuration, GPS/location info can be obtained as well (via an force-installed policy app for example)

    You can pause the profile at anytime which suspends ALL work profile app activity (So if there was an app they install that they could get GPS info from, that app would no longer be functional until unpaused again (no it can’t “run in the background” and collect info on the background either, it’s wholly suspended)) and the pause feature can be set on a schedule so if you have a 9-5 you can set it to that and avoid the whole “always available” problem.


  • None of the forks are immune to Mozilla enshittifing the engine itself.

    Browser engines are complicated beasts, the w3c specifications are thousands of pages and a proper engine would have to implement it all.

    It’s the reason why not a single chromium fork is able to maintain manifest v2 in defiance of Google, because they would have to then maintain the engine themselves for the most part




  • It’s pretty simple really

    Detective: “Excuse me, I’m Detective so-so, recently we’ve come into some information that indicates something traumatic may have occurred in your past, are you ready to hear the details or would you like some time to prepare?”

    Person: “WHAT‽ I’m gonna need some time to prepare, I’ll contact you when I’m ready”

    This’ll give those vulnerable time to prepare for a shit storm and those who feel they’ve already adjusted and would rather not hear about it the opportunity to decline

    Your attitude is very much “You need to hear about it no matter what or how well adjusted you are. Oh, your brain was able to process the incident without causing any I’ll effect? WELL TOO BAD YOU NEED TO HEAR IT”

    Again, not every traumatic incident results in a mental ill effect like PTSD or depression. Some people have more resilient mental stability than others. What of them? What if the disclosure itself is just too much and now they NEED therapy when they could have gone their entire life without worry?





  • It’s a good point, if one truly doesn’t know and really is continuing on with life just fine then telling them would I’m effect cause trauma where there was none before

    One of the most prolific incidents of unknowing victims in recent years was the case of Reynhard Sinaga, who drugged and raped at least 48 men in Manchester between 2015 and 2017. Almost all the victims had no idea they had been raped until police officers knocked on the door years later.

    “It was a moral dilemma,” says Lisa Waters, the former child service manager at St Mary’s sexual assault referral centre, who worked with police on these visits. “You can’t just go in there, tell them what’s happened and drop the bombshell and walk away. You have an obligation to keep people safe.”

    Some victims were numb; others were furious. “Why have you told me this?” Waters recalls them asking. “I had no idea that this happened to me. You’ve ruined my life. So why have you told me?” But for other victims, the revelation was a relief.

    There’s no good answer on this, maybe some sort of initial generic question like “Something bad has happened to you in your past you maybe unaware of, would you like details?”

    It would still cause one to worry about that something has happened to them, but at least they would have time to figure out their own best way forward before being bombarded with details


  • Someone made a statement that they’d prefer to see development progress from Godot and not sociopolitical ideology.

    That’s what bigots say when things aren’t going their way, they are absolutely also the first ones to spread their own “sociopolitical ideology” (read: toxic bigotry) on unrelated things

    Also a lot of your comments here are eerily similar to the transphobic racists on Xitter that I personally saw when I found myself in one of their toxic AF echo chambers
