According to Google, that's changing soon (probably in an attempt to ward off pending app store regulation).

No, just ban software stores from removing working apps for no good reason.

This, but unironically. Science is, and has always been, about adjusting our flawed, incomplete models as new evidence emerge. We shouldn't let our ill-informed preconceptions prevent humanity from moving forward. If removing blood fro

Nitpick: This isn't an RCE. An attacker would need 1) write access to a /local/ directory that the target will navigate to in his shell, and 2) convince the target to execute arbitrary git hooks in every directory (or parent

Then don't run commands in PS1 that blindly execute arbitrary code in that directory. Honestly, people haven't learned a single thing from Window's autorun days.

Wait, I thought git hooks aren't pulled from remote. Wouldn't untrusted git hooks mean that git verify-* are useless since you're already running untrusted code?

Was this change discussed publicly prior to merge? I think this is a big mistake. Build environments use separate users for security purposes. It's insane to decrease security for everyone by requiring a single user to do everything be

My bad. I meant full proper desktop-grade support for addons and devtools like what kiwi does for chromium on android. From your comment, it seems that proper full is still disabled on both stable Firefox and Fennec. Since I'm not real

If I may ask: How are you using addons on mobile? Firefox for android doesn't allow addons and F-droid Fennec doesn't seem to support them either. The only browser on android that gives me full devtools and addon support is kiwi b

Like other abusive software, if I need to use windows, I use it in a sandbox (a VM in this case) or in its own dedicated device. Life it too short to deal with malicious vendors.

I agree that some very small subsets aren't worthy of attention, but I don't understand how any person would willingly isolate from the views of "vast subsets of humanity". How can you be so sure you got it right? How do

This line of thinking leads to bombing schools and hospitals. This is how we get war crimes. I'm glad most people don't think the way you do.

Unless your program is a black box that doesn't interact with the rest of the world in any way, sandboxing will not be enough. People still need to mitigate the effects of malicious supply chains.
