JiveTurkey, in Riot Games Now Requires Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat Software for League of Legends, Following Valorant's Implementation

This is dumb. Anyone installing this is giving absolute full control of their PC to riot and their Chinese owners. This level of control will do nothing to stop the most popular types of cheating from capture cards and AI. It’s a huge sacrifice with zero promise.

hperrin, in AdGuard Temp Mail: new temporary email service launched

Check out port87.com

It’s similar. I made it to solve my spam problem, but it’s also really good for staying organized. When you sign up for something, you can use yourname-whatever@port87.com, then if you don’t want it anymore, you can block that address. Each address has its own label in your account, and blocking the address is just one click.

MonkCanatella, (edited ) in AdGuard Temp Mail: new temporary email service launched

I researched this stuff a LOT. I originally only knew about anonaddy but it’s a pain to set up self hosted. There’s a lot of options but I really like the proton setup: proton pass + proton mail. Lets you respond to emails from the fake email created very easily.

My flow is like this: some website asks for my email, proton pass extension suggests a fake email using domain.hash@passinbox.com for example: shoppingwebsite.1c8sn@passinbox.com

I think it’s the best of all worlds and it’s why I switched from bitwarden as the flow is way faster and easier to use. And it’s a cinch to respond to emails from proton mail.

Interesting.

dukethorion, (edited ) in Brave is sunsetting strict fingerprint protection mode
@dukethorion@lemmy.world avatar

“Fewer than 0.5% of Brave users are using Strict fingerprinting protection mode, based on our telemetry data.”

Probably because most users who enable strict mode, also disable the telemetry?

So now we see the effect of disabling telemetry, a negative change in the product.

Guess its back to Chromite only then.

If you’re interested in a browser with strong fingerprinting protection out-of-the-box, I recommend the Mullvad browser

It’s desktop only tho

Read You on Android, and Newsboat on linux.

reddig33, (edited ) in Is there a good privacy respecting rss feed reader?

What platform? I find NetNewsWire to work well on iOS and MacOS. I haven’t heard anything privacy-invading about it. Its been around for years. It’s also open source and free on the app stores, so that means it’s been somewhat vetted.

taladar, in Common misconceptions about privacy and security

Similarly, proprietary software can be secure despite being closed-source.

That depends entirely on your threat model and the kind of relationship you have with the software vendor. Software might be proprietary and closed source but e.g. you might be the only customer and did get to engage an auditor which could see the source code. Or it might be off-the-shelf software made in a country trying to spy on your company or country. In some of those cases it literally can not be secure for your threat model.

I love being able to just export my settings from the Simple Mobile Tools apps into the new Fossify apps. Makes the transition very simple

Still waiting on Draw, Notes, SMS, and Voice Recorder to be released by Fossify
