Rikj000to Proton @lemmy.world•Proton releases a new app for two-factor authenticationEnglish36·2 months agoSure the client is open source,
server code is closed source.So if proton enshittifies or ceizes to exist,
the open source clients will be useless,
since you or someone else can’t host the server, since that is closed source.But whatever man, good for you if you like them and want to remain oblivious of the risks! c:
Rikj000to Proton @lemmy.world•Proton releases a new app for two-factor authenticationEnglish44·2 months agoNo, I mean their email server + protocol.
The thing you’d use to self-host a proton mail email server.What you linked is the source to the client,
which interacts with the proprietary server code to fetch your mail from them.If you can’t self-host / switch to a different server if they enshittify due to being closed source, then it’s not “open source” nor “portable”
Rikj000to Proton @lemmy.world•Proton releases a new app for two-factor authenticationEnglish73·2 months agoThen please do link me the source code of their email protocol.
FairEmail’s FAQ is the 1st thing that popped up on Github when searching for “proton”, mentioning that it’s proprietary:

Rikj000to Proton @lemmy.world•Proton releases a new app for two-factor authenticationEnglish106·2 months ago2 words I want you to keep in mind:
- Entranchment
- Enshittification
I purposely do not use the whole Proton suite for those reasons. It would be quite bad if one is entranched by their whole suite if they went on the enshittification route, which large companies eventually tend to do.
Rikj000to Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Looking for: Browser extension for intercepting and modifying HTTP req/resEnglish7·3 months agoHow about:
- uBlock Origin: To block parts of a web-page
- GreaseMonkey / TamperMonkey / ViolentMonkey: To alter request/responses through JavaScript
Perhaps one of those can suite your needs
Rikj000to Gaming@lemmy.ml•(SPOILERS) Bethesda is shit - Fallout 4 (2015) ImpressionsEnglish14·3 months agoNot modding a Bethesda game is a mistake though.
They’re notorious for publishing half assed games with great potential, but tend to be fairly open to the modding community patching things up and enhancing the experience.
If you ever would consider replaying it,
look into TheMidnightRide,
which is a great quality of life modpack for Fallout 4: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/
If you’re talking about a wallet,
what’s wrong with Monerujo?
https://www.monerujo.app/Been using it for a while, open source,
scanned for trackers, contains none.You do need to add their own repo to F-Droid to download it from there though:

now I’m forced into becoming the product,

Rikj000to Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality workEnglish751·5 months agoVibe Coding: To generate AI slop code without understanding, nor manually reviewing/altering said generated slop.
It literally means, produce low-quality work.
I get the sentiment,
however when the user base of a FOSS alternative grows beyond the closed source alternative, a switch can happen.So it would be a good thing to have a FOSS alternative out there, which can accumulate a user base over time.
Without any alternatives being developed,
a switch can never happen.
Rikj000to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your Favorite Firefox Alternative, and why? | Why is this question with an active discussion getting downvoted? Use your words, not your mouse. That's what this instance is for.English4·6 months agoAfter a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it’s a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.
So it’s unlikely that it will be susceptible,
unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.
Rikj000to Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Do you have to be a tool and screw with me while I'm eating?English9·6 months agoRaccoon thoughts:
Nooo muh grapes! D:

Well guess you really want some,
fine you can have that one.
Rikj000to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your Favorite Firefox Alternative, and why? | Why is this question with an active discussion getting downvoted? Use your words, not your mouse. That's what this instance is for.English11·6 months agoFork of FireFox,
with a focus on data privacy + security:
https://librewolf.net/I’d also like to add IronFox,
similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:
https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/
Hi OP, I do the same thing during winters.
For XMR,
you can increase the profits a bit with XmrVsBeast + Gupaxx
It’s on F-Droid,
but you’ve gotta add their repo:That link can also be found on their Gitlab:
Rikj000to Fediverse@lemmy.world•The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.English14·6 months agoI lately have a saying:
“If it’s not FOSS, it’s not worth your time”
YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.
Vanilla Invidious currently doesn’t work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here’s the source code if you’re interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidiousI’ve got big respect for Fijxu,
he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.If you can please consider:
- Donating for their work/hosting
- Hosting their fork on your own
- Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork
All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he’s mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.
IronFox is closer to LibreWolf on mobile then IceRaven.
Both IronFox and IceRaven have extension support :)
