Dunno if other people have a faster way of finding out about potential data breaches, but for me, the original Bleeping Computer article about this showed up on my newsfeed and that’s how I found out about it, followed a few hours later by other sites parroting the same news while quoting the BC article. It wasn’t till I saw this post that I learned this breach is a fake, though. So, I’d say just keep an eye on your newsfeed and if you see something there, check any tech news communities and other relevant social media communities that you’re a part of for the same news and for further details.

Edit: There’s also sites like Have I Been Pwned where you can put in your email and get information on every known data breach involving your email address. The site can also notify you about any new data breaches where your email showed up in the affected data.

I assume it’s as simple as copying your profile from Firefox’s profile folder (in Windows, this is in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) into LibreWolf’s equivalent profile folder, then open about:profiles in LibreWolf and switch to the imported profile. I haven’t tested this (still haven’t decided on switching just yet), but I’d be surprised if it didn’t work.

I don’t believe they’ve had any audits or court cases at any point. Generally, I view it as a bad thing when a VPN company gets taken to court or otherwise involved with the authorities, since it indicates they’re in the crosshairs of the government and private lobbying interests, so the fact that they’ve gone under the radar all these years (they were established in 2010) is a plus in my opinion. I suppose a third party audit wouldn’t hurt though.

I still switched to them despite the lack of any audit though because from what I’d read on their about us page, the company was established by privacy activists and hackivists, so that was enough for me to trust them, personally. I tend to trust idealist types over finance-driven entities that run tech companies in the pursuit of profit rather than true ideals like the preservation of a free and open internet. I don’t fault you for going for a higher standard than that though, at least when it comes to proof.

Air supports gigabit speeds if you connect through Wireguard (which you should be doing anyway since it’s just plain better than OpenVPN)

I’d recommend AirVPN. They offer IPv6 support and port forwarding. Speeds are good too. I switched to them after Mullvad removed port forwarding support and the speeds were consistent.

Piped is a website. Newpipe is an app. Both are front-ends for youtube, but obviously non-mobile users cannot access youtube videos on Newpipe when browsing on their computer. While they both serve more or less the same purpose (serving youtube videos without youtube’s tracking), they are fundamentally different in how they accomplish this.

This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a bitchfit about Elden Ring because it didn’t have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

It’s like these developers think that because they’re painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you’re accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn’t even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they’ll never add a “don’t show again” option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

Huh, it never occurred to me to block the notification through uBO. I’ll make sure to do that the next time it shows up. Shame I can’t use the same method on the Gmail app to make it go away forever.

It remains unclear whether the pilot intentionally designed the shape. Insider asked Lufthansa about this, but the airline avoided the question in its response.

Lmfao

No, they’re far too busy using taxpayer money to bail out banks and businesses that are “too big to fail”.

I actually did find and install the nightly version not long after making that comment. I still have it installed on my phone even now. I’m very satisfied with it so far, and have set github to notify me about new releases on the repo. Thanks for the reply.

I don’t think you understood me right. That option is on by default. It only shows upvotes when turned on, not upvotes and downvotes. Jerboa shows both in one place, Liftoff does not, regardless of whether that option is on or off.

So it does. This app also has a very slick UI that looks great, though I’m not a fan of the swipe gestures for everything model, and it appears to be impossible to go to someone’s profile from a comment, block the person, get the permalink for the comment, select text, or anything else the other apps can do. Gonna poke around in the settings and see if there’s something I’m missing here, but so far it’s missing a few too many features to be worth it, imo. Thanks for the suggestion though, always good to try new Lemmy apps.

It does not, at least not front and center the way Jerboa does. I found no option to show downvotes directly when I used it for about a week or so. I reinstalled it just now to see if that changed and it hasn’t. Only way to see downvotes is to press the 3 dots on a post or a comment, press “nerd stuff” then press “counts” to see upvotes and downvotes. This is an annoying hassle to have to do on every comment and post, and there’s no option to just show it in the UI instead of 3 menus deep.
