Or the LibreWolf fork 😁
I’m using uBlock, so far it works no problem for me :)
Meanwhile Comma is looking pretty interesting
So it’s the “We can take down what we don’t like”-Act
That’s what I hate about the open source crowd’s “everyone can check the source code” argument! How many users actually do that?
It’s still a decent argument. While many/most may not be able to read it and understand it it is still better to have some (outside the project) that can look at the code and check it independently.
It must be pretty fucking close to 0%!
It certainly depends on the project and how much it is used. A library someone threw together on an afternoon will unlike a bigger project like NGINX, have little to no external eyes on it.
Though it’s not just about reading it. Open source projects (depending on their size) can usually react faster when a bug or problem is found within it.
A dev with malicious intent could easily introduce shit in an update that no one would notice for an extended period of time if ever!
The same can be said with closed source applications. A dev or the entire company (if they where to go down such a path) could also easily introduce something nasty. In that case there would be no way at all to confirm that anything bad or upright malicious was introduced (unless it gets so bad that it would trigger an Anti-Virus or is easily noticeable).
Is Open Source alone making software more secure (or prevent malicious actions)?
No. But it can be a sizable improvement. Just like security through obscurity1/2 (when given as an isolated argument) is not making software more secure (dare I say it decreases its security; when used in isolation).
What about YYYY/MM/DD?
Your best bet for a no BS ebook reader might be this (if it where in stock): https://pine64.com/product/pinenote-developer-edition/
TOSDR (terms of service; didn’t read) can also be a really nice help

So. What can I for ya?
Now someone needs to make AR glasses with the sole purpose to detect and blur out ads
My guess is because it’s not the original developer for the app. So they are still figuring things out on how to transition the app to Lemmy.
But I have no doubt they’ll get there :)
Android app for lemmy (previously reddit).
Has subscription (which removes ads and enables more features) or one time payment (for no ads only).
Gets bashed / made fun of because of this and because its not open source.
Where’s Infinity?
Was as surprised as you but it does. Not from the official developer mind you but as a fork on Codeberg (still early pre-release aka Alpha).
What someone else suggested is to use Obtainium which can help manage Updates for apps directly from the authors repository (as long as it isn’t officially on an F-Droid repo 🙂)
Aand they’ve blocked any new comments or issues on their Github…
So that’s how it begins
Absolutely! It should be an OpenDocument Spreadsheet
