According to their privacy policy there is no telemetry: 1.1. No Telemetry. We do not collect any telemetry data.
According to https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/5947#issuecomment-2737211334 one of the issues is that Mozilla’s telemetry remains enabled which (if happening in secret) is bad and also dumb because Mozilla can’t even use telemetry of a very different browser.
This is a benefit for Bluesky who do not want to be responsible for moderating their platform.
At least in Germany there is a mandatory German filter list that seems to be maintained by Bluesky themselves. They couldn’t legally operate here if they allowed holocaust denial and such.
ActivityPub already existed when they started BlueSky. They chose to not make their protocol compatible.
Traditionally, that’s what new major version numbers are for. IF (and I stress the “if” because I have no clue about protocol design) it turns out that AT has useful features, a merger of ideas of both ActivityPub and AT could lead to ActivityPub 2.0.
That would be somewhat similar to AMD’s proprietary Mantle leading to Vulkan (which was originally intended to launch as OpenGL 5.0).
I still wonder why they chose Swift
They just closed the issue without even acknowledging it, lol
They acknowledged the remote debugging backdoor issue and fixed it a year ago.
It was enabled due that zen was still a toy project and we needed people to easily open the debugger for easier bug fixing. This was due because zen was not in a daily drivable state and didn’t gain any sort of popularity yet.

The telemetry issue is entirely different. Their handling of that is naive at best, dishonest at worst but it is completely different from the “backdoor”.
The “backdoor” mentioned in a single reply is very different from the telemetry issue. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 was fixed a year ago.
I agree the telemetry should be either disabled or at the very least users should just get a config tab on first launch to opt out but the Lemmy submission is misleading and bordering on fake news.
Musk is helping Meta through “at least Zuckerberg isn’t Musk” aura.
I don’t think so. Cannot remember that it did. Fog did though.
The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.
Back when I was still in university, dormatories’ internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.
This is copied from the video description
Which in itself is copy and paste from most of https://steamcommunity.com/games/1675200/announcements/detail/529841158837240757
This is a lame ass video
Kinda. The MS 365 subscription can be ordered from the app store. I don’t know about installing the Office applications afterwards, whether they then can be installed from the store.
Just putting their own games on the platform would be money down the drain
If they heavily rely on some frameworks very much tied to x86 Windows that required massive efforts to port, sure, but usually they don’t for the simple fact that video game consoles and smartphones exist. Microsoft very much supports gaming on ARM platforms, most notably Nintendo Switch. There is no reason why Doom I+II isn’t officially available for Windows ARM.
Why are you being hostile?
I’m not.
I just mostly focus on middle eastern politics.
Maybe broaden your horizon.
they aren’t as much of a danger as the sauds globally.
Yeah, the ones with nukes and fighting a war against Europe are not a danger.
OOTL, who is it for them, then?
The Kim dynasty. How can one be out of the loop about the basics of North Korea?
I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
Can there please be a scenario where both shit companies sue each other so much that both go bankrupt?
The sauds are the most evil people alive. And i’m saying this as an arab.
Koreans might disagree with this statement.
Moving over to another proprietary location data hoarder is not really a good solution, though.
Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.
“Arab country bad”
Yes but not because of ethnicity but because of human rights abuses.
The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.
