Some bad news for folks who are fans of #uMatrix. It's being archived and no longer being developed :
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#issuecomment-694988696

Can't say I didn't see this coming since maintaining a plugin, particularly as an open source project, is often a thankless job with many personal down sides

I hope it can still continue, if not as uMatrix, then as something else. I really don't like to fiddle with uBlock Origin to get the same functionality

With #freesoftware you have #freedom

#softwarefreedomday

uh how about fuck off. i should add something to my sites saying "it appears you are not using an ad blocker. please consider installing uBlockOrigin then reload this page"

security and #privacy compare of search engines you never heard about

@sir If someone says something like "I'm not very tech-y, but I want to use a free operating system and I don't mind looking at better solutions down the roads, but I want something I can getting up and running quickly and use right now without very much experience"?

What is your understanding of a "privacy-friendly" online service?

"A privacy-friendly online service processes/collects …"

@infosechandbook Other. Answer is the same as A (“the necessary amount of personal data”), only it is the user who gets to decide what is “necessary”, and the service has to gracefully degrade to continue operating without the withheld data.

@infosechandbook I voted for Other because I think it's a combination of B and A. If you're placing an order for a physical product, of course a shipping address is necessary. However, a phone number, full name, email address, etc. shouldn't be required unless the user wishes to provide that data for a better experience.

In general, however, the default should be the second option.

It's cold in the house, so Vasilisa is trying to get warm with this incredible blanket. I suppose she loves it more than me.
Well, It's ok, I would feel the same.
