The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it..

Imagine living in China,
where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

All collected data can be abused like that,
or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

Privacy should be a basic human right.
Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

I own a non-chinese EV and it currently is an unavoidable, unregulated, heap of spyware on wheels, all of them.

The only benefit it has is my data is going to data brokers in the EU, which has some privacy laws, not the Chinese government, which has the ability to request any and all data from all companies in their country.

Happily been using it for a few years by now.

The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.

Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
Been using it for a few years now,
and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool

You forgot about Eternity

Would love to hear about it's score since it's my favorite way to browse Lemmy :)

Would be handy if they included a pre-written pdf to oppose this proposition + emails or forms to easily submit your opposition to each of the countries.

Instead it's a general "contact your government",
which 99% of normal people do not know how to do, me included.

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!
