Lmao. Show me an exploit that allows you to run arbitrary code from encoded video files, then we’ll talk

They’re made by GRS. Only place they post to is their Twitter and I think Reddit

What companies read in this comment: Fuck optimization, put DLSS in and demand higher specs from players
ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app
Otherwise there are dozens of apps which don’t show ads, just look arround F-Droid
SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV
The Ars article seems to suggest that they were able to crack his phones pretty easily
Android uses data at rest encryption, which isn’t really useful without a lockscreen PIN/password since data gets decrypted after you unlock your screen the first time after each boot
Although it doesn’t appear he was actually using any encryption apps to store material; rather, he used a fake calculator app as password protection. Obviously not the brightest bulb in the drawer.
Agreed, he probably felt safe enough “hiding” the files. Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed, which is great because fuck this guy

Or use a RAM disk with something like Profile sync daemon
Why not use fish though?
Sad blub
I really hope those people will refund the game. Won’t hurt Activision much, but every bit counts
Roblox was broken on Deck and linux by the addition of a new anti-cheat
Afaik, it wasn’t broken. The Roblox devs put in extra work to block Linux users from playing because according to them “the majority of cheaters are on Linux”. Who knows if that’s true
Thanks :)
Well, this is a way to vast topic to explain everything here but I’ll try and summarize the most important things:
Let me first explain how websites are able to “fingerprint” you: It’s basically just collecting as much data as possible about your device. Simple things like your browsers size (in pixels), your screen size, your CPU’s core count an many, many more. Having all this data makes it possible for websites to create a profile that only matches one of your specific devices (world wide!). Some websites/fingerprinters even go as far as scanning your local network for other devices, which could even tell them where you live, with whom etc. This wouldn’ be such a big deal if every website had their own database, but almost every page uses ads from Amazon, Meta or Google which makes these companies able to reliably track most of your internet usage even across different devices
So fingerprinters can be very intrusive nowadays, the best way to be anonymous is for everyone to share the same fingerprint which is what the tor browser tries to attempt. Obviously this needs everyone to conform to some predefined norms to work, otherwise you’ll become an outlier which can be tracked again
Tor browser sadly is very slow and by definition not very customizable, so I chose to forsake it in favor of Librewolf in combination with uBlock Origin in Strict Mode, all filterlists and all privacy settings enabled. Additionally I use JShelter to restrict websites Javascript usage and spoof some of the data which can be fingerprinted. Also for Android I use Firefox with some settings from the Arkenfox user.js (Librewolf uses this by default, I mostly use DNS over TLS and Resist Fingerprinting) and Firefox’s own Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode. Additionally I like LibRedirect to access Reddit when I need to without having to login.
This setup stops most fingerprinters from even being loaded, those that still get loaded won’t run most of the time. It also sadly doesn’t work very well with pages behind Cloudflare, so you sadly need to (temporarily) disable some protections to get arround cloudflares captcha (or alternatively delete the webpages cookies each time you request another page from the same domain, this can be automated with addons/Firefox)
Keep in mind though that my setup might be considered pretty overkill by most and that privacy is a spectrum. It’s possible to block all tracking, but that would make almost the whole web unusable so keep that in mind. Your goal should be to limit the data that can be harvested from you to an acceptable degree, not to eliminate it. Most of the time this is a tradeoff of convenience vs privacy
If you wanna learn more look arround uBlock Origin Wiki, the Arkenfox user.js Wiki and the JShelter webpage
Additionally here’s some websites to test your overall fingerprintability:
Shoutout to LibreJS as well, sadly it breaks wayyy to many websites without doing endless tweaking for me to consider it usable and also LocalCDN
Also to finish this I should tell you that I’m by no means an expert and that you should do your own research. Having a semi random fingerprint can itself be a trackable vector but atleast I feel safe enough doing it this way
Feel free to ask more if something’s unclear/you want to know some more about privacy outside of your browser
AdBlock doesn’t do shit about advanced fingerprinters
Have a look at CreepJS
Only way I found to circumnvent it is by using JShelter with WebWorkers removed
This will make you look weird at most
Sterilize a bleach bottle or some other very unsafe to drink container and use that as your water bottle instead for the real chaos
Doesn’t even need updates, in the 10 years I was on Windows it didn’t want to start after shutting it down again like 7 times
I hated having to reinstall every year
Not bad, although this only seems to affect VLC and not a specific video decoder
