@unitycoder_com @GooglePlay @AppStore I use @brave, which does that natively. But Im guessing that for people using other browsers, will be helpful.

@Novack_ @GooglePlay @AppStore Had never heard of fdroid before : ) this it what ive normally used, if need to share links, to users viewing that message on pc but need it for mobile tools.unitycoder.com/FastQRCodeGene…

Finally easy way to download apps from store. GreaseMonkey browser plugin to add QR code in the page (so while browsing in pc, you can download the app into phone directly) gist.github.com/unitycoder/c6f… / @GooglePlay @AppStore 👀
English
@unitycoder_com @GooglePlay @AppStore True, altough typically people is already logged into their google account in the browsers (gmail, youtube, etc). For others not around my desktop, I found easier to just send the url.
In the end, whatever helps de-googling is great, can you make it for F-Droid? APKMirror has it.
English
@Novack_ @GooglePlay @AppStore Yup, but requires login+2fa, and only to your own devices.., also cannot install for ios devices from pc browser?

@juanbrodersen In fact all news outlets will be reporter-free soon, we dont need them anymore. Nuff said, the Ministry of Truth + AI is all we need.

Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch,
got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself,
then watched Lennart personally block the revert after community outrage.
Unpaid compliance simp.

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws.
Let that sink in.
A Linux init system now handles Age Verification.

@fanboynz @BrendanEich @jpegwarfare @Winterrose @brave I dont keep a mental list :) Shall I report here when I come accross them? I can tag you, if thats the easiest way.

I would pay $1 per month for life for a browser I could tell my cookie preferences to and never see a f*cking European GDPR popup from ever again.
how did these idiots let this happen

@pegasusepsilon @AnthropicAI I mean... is for the fuss. Anthropic seems to be in bed with all the usual suspects. Open models are advancing quickly though, the gap with the bleeding edge is no longer oceanic.
English
@BrendanEich @fanboynz @jpegwarfare @Winterrose @brave Yes exactly. I come accross *persistent* consent popups on the sites I poke daily, would gladly report them if it helps.
English
@fanboynz @Novack_ @jpegwarfare @Winterrose @brave I think no known issue upthread, Novack was asking about "this" as category of future instances, not a live bug. Corrections welcome.

@devops_is_life @Pirat_Nation Of course the choice for a while, will be contaminate the data. But once they achieve this step, they'll push for the next... Remember, in UK people faces jailtime for their twits. How much time do you think you'll be able to legally lie to your OS?
English
The main program that starts and manages almost everything on modern Linux computers, “systemd”, recently added an optional "birthDate" field to its user database records.
This stores a user's full birth date so apps can check age, for example, to comply with new age-verification laws in places like California, Colorado, and Brazil.
It is not automatic age checking. Systemd only saves the date.
Only admins can set or change it, but the user and some sandboxed apps can read it.
English
age verification laws are forcing infrastructure decisions that were never supposed to live at the OS level. systemd storing a birthdate isn't a privacy scandal yet. but it's the first layer of a stack that governments will keep building on. the field is innocent. what comes next isn't
English
Now I get the reasoning behind @ArtixLinux...
Also @CachyOS please consider moving away from the bloated and now overcompliant systemd. Having Arch distros with blatantly unwanted #AgeVerification crap is peak irony.

Password game in 2026 be like 😂
How are you actually handling the password apocalypse?
A) Physical diary (unhackable OG, hackers can’t phish paper 📖)
B) Bitwarden / 1Password (the serious adults)
C) Apple Passkeys + Notes (FaceID supremacy)
D) Same password everywhere: Nike@123 → Nike@1234 → Nike@12345 (security update complete) 🔥
E) Mental algorithm (fixed word + site twist + childhood trauma symbol 😭)
F) “Forgot password” is my most used feature
Drop your actual method (no judgment) 👇

@jpegwarfare @Winterrose @brave We can't claim perfection, because blocking consent scripts sometimes breaks a site. When this happens, we unbreak the site and work to reverse engineer a non-breaking fix , so please report any cookie consents you do see.
We also crawl to find such bugs: x.com/brave/status/1…
Brave@brave
Our open-source tool Cookiecrumbler helps us detect websites' cookie banners faster across multiple languages so we can block them more effectively. Learn how it works 👇 reclaimthenet.org/brave-opensour…

@Novack_ @BrendanEich no, we just wanted to distinguish them from "brave-" scriptlets (that we ship) and "trusted-" scriptlets shipped by uBO and AdGuard: github.com/gorhill/ublock…

@drivinginkorea @fmarier @fanboynz Thanks to Anton Lazarev on the shields team, this should be doable via custom adblock filters. Paste brave://settings/shields/filters into address bar, scroll down. 2nd image is a prototype that blocks passkeys.io's interstitial; might need enhancing for other sites.
