Also not supporting PWAs and in general being behind and ocking on next gen web features


PWA is a "progressive web app" - a normal web app that can use additional features when available. Everything beyond straight HTML (including CSS and Javascript) is considered "progressive". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement

There are many features put under the marketing banner of "PWA" that Safari supports. A large number of the ones which Safari _doesn't_ support are only supported by the Blink engine, and are not on a standards track. Many of these other browser engines have explicitly said they will not support due to the design being harmful for the web.

Google themselves have slowed down significantly on new "PWA" features since ChromeOS started supporting running native Android apps.


Safari absolutely supports PWAs. There are features it doesn't support, but the premise is supported.


If you don't support the PWA features people want PWAs for, then claiming PWA support is silly.

Maybe don't violate laws to be fined


You skipped a step: First, enforce the rules and actually (and readily) impose the fines to indicate the laws are meaningful even for certain segments of society.


Everything is securities fraud


What is the current best Foss(or otherwise) implementation for voice changer/anonymiser?


Last time I checked, it was https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changer

Requires a decent amount of VRAM and runs poorly with pretty bad quality (IMO)


Once again we see evidence that AI-for-all is not bottlenecked by research but by the physical limitations of compute infrastructure.


I wouldn't say that when the application is a strung-up Python Frankenstein monster (not to be too demeaning to the author).


More efficient architectures are possible. It's bottlenecked by research.


Privacy sandbox is not private, that's why ICO(UK's privacy watchdog) raised concerns,https://www.wsj.com/tech/google-cookies-replacement-not-enou...


It's at least as private as third party cookies. And unlike third party cookies there is a path to improve privacy as technology improves.

Some of the required technologies (private model training, debuggable trusted execution environments) are still research topics, so some sacrifices have to be made until it can be deployed.


Sorry, I'm not a WSJ subscriber. It wouldn't surprise me if Google are being squeezed between two organizations with different goals though.

Ultimately the Privacy Sandbox has dozens of different proposals, and each is on a separate standards track. It's not a singular technology.

I will say that many of the proposals do directly improve user privacy, or offer more-private alternatives to existing APIs. But I'd also be surprised if there weren't objections as well. It's the web, and scrutiny is important.


"privacy sandbox" is a deceiving name,it is a harmful tracking tech,glad regulators(UK's privacy watchdog ICO) are waking up,but that also means status quo of 3rd party cookies remains until it's fixed https://www.wsj.com/tech/google-cookies-replacement-not-enou...


Per my understanding, privacy sandbox has been rolled out for a long time already. There is no reason to still keep third party cookies around.


This is misleading

> Thus, Project Ghostbusters was born. It’s Meta’s in-house wiretapping tool to spy on data analytics from Snapchat starting in 2016, later used on YouTube and Amazon. This involved creating “kits” that can be installed on iOS and Android devices, to intercept traffic for certain apps, according to the filings. This was described as a “man-in-the-middle” approach to get data on Facebook’s rivals, but users of Onavo were the “men in the middle.”

Belatedly changed from https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater above. Thanks!


Thanks!


Nice seeing support of modern protocols in http libraries
