You can't spy on kids without spying on everyone, and in any case they're interested in the everyone part. Ultimately they want 24x7, realtime facial & biometric monitoring of ever…

Wonderful. Allow an "unmonitored" extension from a random stranger on the Internet have access to "all data for all websites" just to support an image format for which Mozilla shou…

So when will support come to libavif, libaom, aom-tools and concerned packages? Are they pushed on to Arch already? Or still just upstream github for now?

What we need is VPB. Virtual Private Browser like VPNs. Essentially standardised cloud browsers that can execute your requests and send you back the result as bitmap buffers.

For Rust I'd expect the implementation to be the real beast, versus the language itself. But not sure how it compares to C++ implementation complexity.

How is withholding Widevine CDM not anti-competitive behaviour?

Yes most web properties have voluntarily adopted Cf as their only protection option. Do you or I have the power to get hundreds of millions if not billions of these properties off …

This used to be the case many years ago. But these days practically every site pulls in content from several other sites, sometimes dozens. Fine tuning noscript to get such a site …

Arch isn't truly community driven?

Snaps per se are no better or worse than flatpak. Canonical's mistake, IMO, was to make their store the only place snaps can be hosted. That is the "proprietary" bit everyone keeps…
