@redcoqui it's doable. Seems to be very small. But all it does is to accept an request and pass it through the advertiser, acting like a proxy. So the advertiser doesn't see your IP.
But any other potential part of a fingerprint is still sent by the client. So you'd have to look at the Firefox source code.
@redcoqui well, yes it's foremost for soucecode, like this repo has too. But good projects, especially ones that want to engage with the community, usually porvide documentation abou how the code/protocol works.
Together with the great State partitioning feature, Mozilla rolls out "Sponsored Top Sites" basically advertisements on your "Home" page.

While I don't mind them creating alternative revenue streams, they should, especially with something traditionally very privacy unfriendly, do it transparently. Instead their "anonymized tech data" links to a github repo without documentation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just checked the footnotes. He bases this of a single github issue comment from moxie.

Yeah, probably no legal grounds but still.
> I just read the Signal service ToS and nowhere does it say you are restricted to using Signal-branded client software.
Interesting. I've read that in Drew DeVaults "Why I don't trust Signal" (https://drewdevault.com/2018/08/08/Signal.html)
> Moxie forbids you from distributing branded builds of the Signal app, and if you rebrand he forbids you from using the official Open Whisper servers.

Fuck I just lost my Mass Effect 2 save and can restart from the beginning because someone at valve thought it was a clever idea to delete the proton prefix (which contains the save game) when moving the install location

Eine Analogie, die vielleicht hilft:
@sneak dunno, haven't tried it. I've heard about it (on HN if im not mistaken), and saved it to my "list of things to try out at some point in time".
@sneak have you tried ownCloud oCIS? https://owncloud.github.io/ocis/ has not as many features as nextcloud, but isn't written in php.

Ok, normalerweise bin ich kein Fan davon, mit Humor auf Verschwörungsideologien zu reagieren. Aber hier musste selbst ich lachen:
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat well, I don't think they should just add m$'s repo and key. AFAIK dpkg has no vendor lock so m$ could just push other packages with newer versions and users would get updated to potentially malicious software.
Should an low-power arm device really have to run an Electron IDE?
Also, why doesn't the rpi team compile VSCode themselves and put it in their own repo.
