Yep, a VPN is a good solution.

Keep in mind that to protect your privacy you should also share your instance with others. All the searches are still linked to an IP which can be abused as well.

I wanted to comment the same thing.

They have been “closing in” on this release since forever.

Maybe you need 2FA on your GitHub account before you can do that. GitHub has made it a requirement for almost all the “dev” stuff.

Fossify is great. I replaced some stupid anti-privacy GApps with them.

Emails are personal data and are not allowed to be shown without specifically opting in for it. In Europe at least. Same for IP. This is also why when you “Recover Password” it will say something like “if this email address is found we’ll send you a mail”. So nobody can just check if an email exists on the service.

Don’t forget stupid DRM bullshit.

This was after Google bought WideVine in 2010.

The title should be “Google pulls plug out of Chromium”

Too bad that even when people start switching, people writing drafts for the W3 spec are mostly Google employees. I’m sure that’ll be their next battleground.

I wonder why these 2 countries specifically.

Some time ago it was reported that Russian Wagner groups have been spotted in Venezuela.

Now these 2 countries have banned Signal.

You mean mDNS/Zeroconf are using a tld that was already being used.
