This is Zuckerberg doing this via Meta:

Unidentified users are worth way less than users that they can link to an identity, a law like this passing would massively increase the value of Meta's user base to advertisers and data brokers.
'Protecting the children' is a long used way to shut down dissenting voices ("Why does xxxx want to put our children in danger?!!!").
The problem isn't the software, there is already software that provides identity services.
The problem is that you will not have the cryptographic signatures that authenticate your app as a trusted identity provider. Nor would your app be able to fool the hardware attestation, which is built on unique signed cryptographic certificates that are signed by the manufacturer's Certificate Authority and physically burned into the TPM on your device.
In order to pass attestation, your system must boot into a trusted OS image and then it has to prove that by submitting a signed quote, generated by information stored in your TPM along with keys signed by the manufacturer's CA.
This isn't something that you can hack around, it's built on cryptographic verification of your entire boot sequence.
Maybe a future patch will include line breaks in the patch notes.
being said I had never known about the TLS fingerprinting option, I generally don’t see that shown on the fingerprint detector sites, that’s interesting.
There's also things like the SNI field which is a non-encrypted field which contains the requested domain name. Even if you use DNS over HTTPS to keep your information from leaking via ISP controlled DNS servers, they can still get the destination domain names from the SNI during the TLS handshake.
Apparently it’s a dispute about EuroOffice changing the logo when they forked OnlyOffice?
Yes, pretty much.
OnlyOffice added a restriction that says you can't change the logo and the FSF explaining why 1. They're not allowed to add additional restrictions and 2. The AGPL's license says if they do, you can ignore them (basically).
Lots of good advice in the thread so I'll add.
Install WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) -> Install Docker -> Pihole -> set your network connection's DNS server to 127.0.0.1.
This will break a lot of tracking by not allowing it to phone home with your data.
Reminder: The reason that this seems coordinated is because it is.
Meta has spent over $2 BILLION dollars to push this everywhere.
Being able to link accounts to actual people is incredibly valuable for Meta and all of the other companies who sell your privacy for cash.

I'm not sure what this website is adding here.
It looks like it and all of the linked websites were created in 2015-2017 and never updated.
Look at the "Notable bugs and security issues" list. It's a bunch of things from 2015-2017 which are resolved/closed/merged PRs.
Or linked websites which consists of such well though out pages as: "Things that are good about Systemd - It starts services ig" & "Things that are bad about Systemd - *everything*"
I can't imagine how much information or insight there is to be gained from a website that is out of date by over a decade.
You only need programs if you're unhappy with the current state of your life. Delete computer, become enlightened.
I think vanadium block screenshots by default as part of the security model.
