Sorry what did you mean by "Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward"? A fork of what?

It is truly astonishing how a company with their resources could have a program like Teams be so terrible for so long. Matrix/Element have advanced faster than Teams.

Microsoft is using Discord and not Teams?

So it's not technically Chromium anymore? It's a fork of Chromium?

Hard to believe it's real, hopefully Motorola is committed to the long term.

It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I'm admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.

It's Chromium based, doesn't that mean uBlock isn't going to work as well?

Oh I see thank you for the explanation. I missed that the university network was called a VPN.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 6 points 3 days ago

This may sound dumb, but wouldn't it appear to anyone listening between the client and VPN as though all traffic is coming from the VPN and not the website? Isn't that the point of a VPN?

You are. I had zero desire to watch it myself, put it on because I was bored, and now I'm literally counting the days until each new episode. Episode 4 in particular was everything I love about Star Trek.

I think 404 Media publishes on Ghost which uses activitypub.

They pretty much just remove you from all those different people finder websites. Not the data brokers that Meta (etc) sell to/from.

It's still beneficial if you can afford it, but more likely to protect you from targeted scams or stalkers etc. than anything Big Tech.

Personally I think this is a good response. I hope they stay true to it in the future.
