Since I am not in anyway inclined to go read their code, I probably will just trust FF’s “recommended” flag until there is an obvious problem. Of course, when it is like that, then it’s too late. I tried the “Dark theme” on FF for a little bit, switch back to using Dark Reader in no time.

Eat them before you eat anything else. When you are hungry, foods tend to taste better, and your body is not trying to tell you to stop eating yet.

There seems to be 20, some nonextant.

It’s already behind a paywall. But it was really a sting operation, using fake “secure” phones, to catch criminals, by skirting constitutional requirements.

Yes, there’s already an update.

I personally think you have to be careful. If they don’t like your application and find that you are not disclosing the information, it might become a justification to reject the application. Remember that there are 3rd parties that massively correlate internet data that are sold to governments and corporations. Unless you accounts definitely cannot be linked to your real identity, there is a chance that they will find out what social accounts you have anyway.

Since webp is Google’s, I wouldn’t be surprised that everybody is using Google libwebp’s derived code to display webp images. There was an advisory to check updates for ALL your browsers on ALL platforms. Edge also had a recent update.

It seems more or less. Have you seen the recent news about US government’s arrangement to have an eastern European country running a platform to collect data on its own citizens to skirt around the warrant law? If citizens are being treated as such, how are non-citizens being treated?

This article specifically addresses Visa applications. So, if the person is already applying for a citizenship, there is most likely already a residency which doesn’t require Visa on entry. There also seems to be a different set of rules for people already in the country. From the article:

And while the court recognized the First Amendment rights of noncitizens currently present in the United States who limit their online speech because they may need to renew a visa in the future, it held that the federal government’s regulation of immigration should be granted significant deference.

If they knew it wasn’t going to work, why ask for it at the first place. Red herring? Ask for something big to trade for something smaller? Drama for the bored?

You are right. The EMUI outside of China is still based on Android with its own eco-system, although the other EMUI is also based on HarmonyOS which may/may not be compatible with Android, especially in the future. It seems, the phone has disappeared from some international markets altogether, the countries being friendly to China or not, probably because consumers are worried that their phones wouldn’t be supported by critical apps.

Well, you squeeze them, and they squeeze you back. Typical. Like, the US is not expecting that.

Besides the chips, there are still the OS. It’ll take a while yet, if ever, for Huawei phones to gain traction again outside of China. What would you buy: Qualcomm/MediaTek/Huawei(SMIC) chip? What would you buy: Android/Huawei OS?

Also use HTTPS for DNS, e.g. private DNS for Android. https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

thx. Will remove shortly.

With airlines, it still seems to be voluntary and justified by convenience. (https://www.businessinsider.com/american-airlines-facial-recognition-boarding-dfw-aviation-trend-2019-8)

For boarding-crossing trip related to CBP, it seems you can still explicitly opt-out, possibly incurring inconveniences. But it maybe less voluntary in the long run (also because of inconveniences.)

For foreigners needing to travel in-and-out of the US, they will always be more willing to submit to the whims of Airport/US authorities.

They’re trying to push it up to 97% compliance, apparently mandated by Congress. So, generally, don’t cross the US border. Here’s an article from EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/08/end-biometric-border-screening

DHS recently took the alarming position that “the only way for an individual to ensure he or she is not subject to collection of biometric information when traveling internationally is to refrain from traveling.”

Concentrate just at the tip of your nose where the breath touches the tip leaving the body, when your breath in, think “in”, when you breath out, think “out”. Determine to keep you mind at that, but be relaxed while doing it. Works well when you are already tired, i.e. at the time that you usually go to sleep.

This is like, thought replacement. It’s a “Buddhist” technique.

Turn it off and put it in a Faraday-cage bag.

I am always paranoid about having unknown wounds on my skin. Almost always chase it away, unless I really need to concentrate.
