It’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.
Is it just me, or it kinda sounds like they don’t want to prococess a complaint? A warning not to do that again would be enough, IMO, given it seems like there are no rules prohibiting this.
That’s cool and everything, yet we have an itsy-bitsy tiny problem: iirc, there are like 3.5 vendors that have opted into dp alt mode support, and each one I know of kinda sucks. I suppose it might be possible to simply enable it in software by changing the devicetree on usb3 devices or something if the port the vendor decided to route is the one multiplexed with dp, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Yeah, right. Because those contracts are set in stone, and our corporate overlords won’t ever take away the advertised ability to download books you’ve paid for, not to mention those very contracts being written in human-readable format and not lawyer speak. \s

Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:
I mean, as long as it works, why would they? Like, I’m also unlikely to suddenly go converting all my nix spaghetti into some new and shiny thing unless it makes doing something I need considerably easier
While not in the roadmap, I’d like to try adding squid[.]wtf and possibly lucida.{s,t}o (although, it’s been rather unstable lately) downloaders, if you’re interested

RSS readers are the way, yes; mail – most of the time: there are pretty nice Foss options I can trust, although it’s not always possible, like with free tier proton mail. As for chat clients, also true for android but not so true on desktops: like, I’m not exactly happy when telegram logs my window manager and so on.
