If Chromium is a requirement I’d choose the ungoogled-chromium flatpak but for normal people Brave is preferable over proprietary options, despite the crypto bullshit.

I’m sub-$20. My only work post-graduation (CS) has been a contract with a non-tech org that can’t really afford it. It’s remote, and I currently live in a US state with barely any tech companies.

Automated scanning is already accomplished outside the App Store on macOS via notarization.

What App Store privacy rules are you concerned about?

Don’t know enough about iOS to say for sure about persistence, but recent Pegasus (NSO Group spyware) versions don’t bother[1], instead repeatedly exploiting bugs starting with “features” like background Messages attachment parsing. Those a

I’m talking about a genre of emails where the targets are those who’ve simply starred a GitHub repo. Even if they get the actual email addresses from a git log or off-platform, they’re still abusing the GitHub API (or screen-scraping) to di

A lot of these spammers start with a repo’s stargazer list, so I’ve been slowly unstarring everything — if enough people do this GitHub will have to fight at least that kind of scraping. I recommend making a special email alias for git you
