It's way too big for this little amount of people, and somehow I stumbled on a porn drawing...

I don't use it because of mobile adblock only. There are multiple private chromium browsers which have mobile adblock, and also one supporting extensions : kiwi browser.

I use Firefox because it's a competing engine to chromium, and it looks good.

I also have all the synced bookmarks from my PC Firefox, which I use for the same reason, and because I got used to it.

Nothing "new" that hasn't been shared already :

• Unity top leaders selling stock before the announcement
• they proposing "special" deal to not get the per install fee applied if the devs opt in to use only Unity's advertising plaform in order to kill competition.
• Unity getting death threats from employees.

Wtf are you talking about. Linux isn't a distro.

And the example isn't a "only noobs use it".

It's an example of an exploit existing since many years. And which could have appeared in a random package, while staying invisible.

On Linux -> https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/password-stealing-linux-malware-served-for-3-years-and-no-one-noticed/

(not a virus directly from a package manager or distro tho).

However nothing prevents someone from hosting malware on github, or fake "safe" distros.

There can also be a slip and people not seeing a project turned into malware.

The excel spreadsheet can be read by anything. And if someone gets hold of it either through malware or access to the computer, they get all your passwords.

A password manager allows to store the passwords in an encrypted file. The file being encrypted, if the password is strong, may not be accessed easily or fast enough to be worth the effort.

50€ for a premium clothing. Or 20€ if you only want 1 color for that premium clothing.

And to purchase them, you need to purchase palia coins, which are as expected not the exact amount to buy the clothing.

So like you need to buy 2k coins for 1.6k clothing pack.

The best fasle advertising on privacy/security rather?

Their goal is blocking any other advertising method so only they can collect and use the data of their users for advertising.

Security? They can (or could) be hacked, with a backdoor, just with an invisible message...

So most of their reputation is just marketing (which goes pretty near to false advertising ex : the your data stays on your device... Which is just false).

Tho they may have a reputation of refusing to give data to public organizations (or at least depending on the data).

This would be the biggest part. Right now Lemmy cannot be compared 1:1 but somehow I don't really miss video content.

Also reddit has a lot of ads and some of them are video ads which consume data just for displaying them.

Not news. They already did since nfts exploded in popularity. Also they did give away free avatar nfts since then for some events.

And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it's own DHCP provider.

It can be interesting for Linux desktop users. There also is ~~prodondb~~ protondb which can help too.
