Why don't you repurpose cheap e-book readers, such as Kobo, which run Linux? https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Debian_Linux_on_a_Kobo or BQ Cervantes: https://github.com/bq/cervantes or you ca

JingPad is certainly not the first Linux tablet - there have also been: WeTab, BQ Aquaris E10, PineTab, JooJoo and more.

No, Electron is way too bloated, use Electrino, Quark, WebWindow or DeskGap instead.

Let's put it straight: majority of people don't give a damn on privacy. There should be a global pro-privacy campaign run by all of us to convince as many people as we can to respect their privacy!

Why don't you use FreeRDP, X2Go or rdesktop - all open source???

You don't need Deskreen, you can extend your Windows desktop to a second screen on any device easily by using: Zonescreen ( https://zoneos.com/zonescreen/ ) or TightVNC with DFMirage Driver ( https://www.t

I would like to see Vue.js in Web Worker ( https://github.com/niutech/vue-in-web-worker ) officially supported in 2021.

As long as the underlying Go-Whatsapp ( https://github.com/Rhymen/go-whatsapp ) protocol implementation is byte-for-byte identical to the original Whatsapp Web client protocol, it should be indistinguishable.

Could you elaborate why? Have you tried Matterbridge ( https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge ) instead?
792.
by niutech 6y ago
Possibly, but it's still better than using Whatsapp as before.

Facebook cannot know it, since it is another phone no. not used anywhere else. The point of using another SIM card in Android VM is that Whatsapp doesn't have access to your Facebook profile, your web activity, your real phone no., rea

by niutech 6y ago
No, because you'll be using a disposable SIM card only for WhatsApp installed in the Android Virtual Machine. Facebook won't have access to your own smartphone and your activity.

You can get rid of Whatsapp by bridging it with other secure messaging apps (like Signal, Telegram, iMessage, Mattermost) using Android VM and Matrix bridges: https://matrix.org/bridges/ Alternatively, you can use Matt

I have a second dirt-cheap used phone with a disposable SIM card just for WA. But you could make a WA<->Matrix<->Signal bridge ( https://matrix.org/bridges/ ) using a temporary phone no.

Why not make a local WhatsApp<->Signal bridge using Matrix ( https://matrix.org/bridges/ ) and a disposable SIM card, and just use Signal app on your phone?

Just add these filters to uBlock Origin: www.google.com###lb www.google.com##html:style(overflow-y: visible !important;)

So tell her what it is :) Most people just need one extension: uBlock Origin (or built-in Opera/Brave adblock) with a filter list from prebake.eu. No more ads and cookie banners. Easy as that.

You can install uBlock Origin and disable all third-party cookies in almost every web browser.

Back in the days there was the P3P protocol ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P3P ) supported by IE and Edge, but it didn't work out and was abandoned. There is also `Do Not Track` header but it is not respected by mo
