browsers can have security vulnerabilities in their complex parts that grant the website powers it shouldn’t have. depending on the kind of vuln, it could enable readout of browser memory contents (like cookies containing access tokens), modification of it, execution of arbitrary program code supplied by the site, etc.

clipboard history is different from the system clipboard. it works the same way on kde plasma, probably windows too. it depends on the keyboard on android to clear it from the system clipboard too, it seems the samsung keyboard devs did to bother with this

kde has a builtin dedicated color picker. the clipboard does not have those features by default, but the clipboard history supports defining actions for the right clipboard content pattern, so it’s possible to do that and more

I am running the AIO and here it has the slowest webapp by a large margin, on desktop, laptop and phone

not an isolated one, but an issue in all of these you mentioned too. this is a common design mistake devs make if they don’t use the network share functions or slow storage, because they don’t notice there is a problem and how severe it is

this is a file browser or KDE issues, as file system operations shouldn’t happen on the UI thread. if it weren’t happening on the UI thread then it would keep working.

Take the ZFS plunge - My only real concern is the overhead

you shouldn’t worry about ZFS overhead if you are planning to use mergerfs.

you can tune the memory usage of ZFS significantly. by default it targets using half of your RAM, but on a home setup that’s wasting resources, you should be able to limit the arc cache to 1-2 GB, maybe somewhat more depending on how you want to use it. It’s done with sysctl or kernel parameters.

And the issues are locked so if something nefarious happens, discussion will only occur somewhere else instead of the repo

people shouldn’t count on that anyways because the repo owner can delete issues, comments, also edit them

and the code must be a replicable build by F-Droid’s internal apk signature copying process

that’s not a requirement. or was it already being built reproducibly?

You chastises me for telling you are free to go somewhere else yet in the next sentence wish to restrict my rights and my hobby in a public space because you don’t wish to be recorded.

There’s a saying where everyone’s rights only extend until it infringes upon that of others. here you can’t record me in public without my written permission, just as I can’t record you. Similarly:

If I was in a public park recording the trees or birds or the sick looking car in the parking lot, I should have the right to do so and not be hindered by you because you don’t want me to.

you can take photos all you want until unconsenting people are not visible on it. you have the right to take photos. until it infringes upon the basic human right to privacy of others. here in Europe people have more rights than just being allowed to stay silent.

Did you know NOAA ( https://www.noaa.gov/ )and NWS (https://www.weather.gov/ ) make their information public and

what? are you arguing that the weather has a right to privacy??

Did you know you can view and monitor the most of the world’s shipping traffic?

The same goes for air traffic.

that’s just commercial entities… no private information is exposed there. for air traffic, right there are private jets, but like public servants, that should just be an additional category of people who have less rights because of their power to keep in check. also the way air traffic coordination works it cannot really be restricted.

If these cameras go up I want them to be accessible to everyone

if. but better they just not go up, but instead, down.

As I stated I am conflicted about the whole thing.

you know, somewhat me too. like the court room recordings. but I would only want it released if I agree to it, and otherwise there can still be written transcripts, redacted from private info at the few points where needed. but only if the person is not a public servant or otherwise wielding a lot of power (e.g. through highly outstanding wealth).

If they exist I want them open for unrestricted public use like say GPS.

yeah but the way GPS works, it does not expose any information about the user. devices just receive precise timestamp and sat constellation info, GPS itself does not send any information.

Sorry for long post.

it was not that long!

because in normal circumstances what happens does not get recorded. I don’t care about people who look at me. their ability to do that does not cause anything bad. their vision and hearing does not end up in some kind of database that can be used for automated analysis

it means android api changes, google play restrictions and removals

afaik public officials are usually a different legal category that limit them in their freedoms. maybe it’s an EU thing though, but I think recording their actions is explicitly allowed

But I also think you have no expectations of privacy in public.

yes I do. we are not going outside the house to become some kind of an actor. we also cannot just “go away”, avoid some places because either that’s where we live, where we work, or where we need to pass to travel between these places. but I guess it is easy to tell the “problematic” people to just go way.

I like pulling up traffic cameras and others local places cameras to see if cool things are going on.

“you should have no expectations of privacy in public because I want to watch if something cool happens on a traffic camera”

maybe go play sims if you want to behave like some god, watching peoples lives who did not consent to it, but you could also just watch some fucked up reality show on TV

maybe it was a bit harsh, sorry for that, but I don’t know how to get the point across with better words.

ofc neighbour does not want to record them, personally, but obviously they personally are negatively affected, against their will.

don’t forget that people aren’t leaving the house for the chance to be a public actor.

op is creeped out not by science, but by the possibility of per-building analysis

I think their point is about mandating in construction code to have per-house wastewater analysis devices

AA Batteries might not be as convenient to use, but being able to replace them is a great advantage

it could still have a charging port so it doesn’t need to be any inconvenient

that usually looks different

why is that comment font so weird? it looks like AI generated text
