No, with this to what you say yes or no, you can set it in the browser instead in this Pop-up. All what you don’t want get blocked. This way you set it one time in your browser for all pages you visit. instead ov everytime in each page. The result is the same, but without annoying consent nags. With the GDPR all pages are forced by law to ask for your consents, before with this pop-up, and now following the consent settings in the browser. This is the only difference, less nags for the user. With the page permission settings and the adblocker, this crap anyway get blocked. So this consent window in any case is useless.

Short answer: Yes

It’s not gutting it, it’s changing the system with same result. Instead of annoying cookie consent pop-ups, a setting in the browser with admissible cookies (same as in the pop-up) this way the unwanted cookies are blocked from the browser itself (apart of those which anyway get blocked by the adblocker and privacy settings). With this there isn’t needed anymore this pop-up. It’s a good idea, I think.

The Vaticane don’t fullfit the conditions to be an EU member, they have not signed the Declaration of Human Rights, nor have they officially condemned torture and the death penalty.

A browser is only a secudary problem in privacy, if you use another than Chrome or Edge, it’s mainly the search engine you use the problem, the sites you visit, the mail you use, the data you publish, your common sense online, there are the main privacy holes.

Well, it’s not in the Eurozone, but it’s strict with the EU Privacy laws, in Europe it’s only the Vatican out of the EU, only in the Eurozone for practical reasons.

Aprivate tab protect nothing, it only prevents that other with access to your PC see which pages you have visited, the web pages see the same with or without privat tab. It’s often misunderstood what private browsing mean. If you want to browse private, there isn’t any other as using an Proxy or VPN, using Portmaster, Glasswire or Pi-Hole on desktop, adjust the site permissions in the privacy settings in your browser, than you can browse more or less private, if you also use an search engine which don’t log your activity. You can visit Browserleaks, there you can see how private you are.

Any webservice, like mail, cloud services and social platform, as even eg, Lemmy and other online platform, is forced to reveal the user data they have, if there is an court order a cause of an criminal investigation. Proton can’t in this case evade the info they have, it is the IP and the account data, content of the mail is encrypted, so they can give only encrypted data in this case.

This has nothing to do with privacy rights, this protect the privacy only from access of private data without an court order in the EU. In the same case as with this activist, also Tuta, Murena and any other private mail service would have done exactly the same thing as Proton.

If you are searched by law, never is a good idea to create an account anywhere. Drug barons use pen and paper for communication because of this.

It depends, AI is good as tool to help in your researches and tasks, but bad to substitute your researches and tasks with it. The trustworth of AI is always more or less limited and always a big mistake to use the results as is, without contrasting it, which is done too often.

I checked Proton Lumo, it’s private, but not very good, answers mostly BS, AI is not a strong side of Proton. DuckAI is a nice and usable one, Brave not so.

Download an AI isn’t a so good idea, because to be reliable, it need a huge amount of data and processing power, which a normal PC don’t have. Downloaded AI which work locally are by definition very basic and limited. When selfhosted versions use online sources, they need a huge amount of bandwith. An reliable AI need an huge datacenter and webaccess, because this, the question for the user is the privacy of the AI service. The mencioned Apertus fullfit all the aspects of reliability and privacy. History of questions and results are stored locally, easy to delete, answers by own knowledge base or by permitting web access, with answers including the links of sources. 100% free to use and EU made.

Swiss PublicAI by Apertus, FOSS, made by the Swiss National Supercomputer Centre (CSCS) also used by the CERN. Possible selfhosting (~90 GB basic Data), up to 70 billion parameters, trained on 15 trillion tokens across more than 1,000 languages. Strict privacy centred.

I know, but press freedom was good in 50% before this year, now it’s converging to zero. In the US since ever, people had only freedom when they are rich

Well, until now almost all articles I read in AJ are well contrastable, less biased as much other western media.

I never trust what people say about what they are or what they are going to do, only what they really do. But I think that Mamdani is an advance and better as Rpublican alternatives. Despite this, as Major he is very limited to do anything with a whole country gov, media and corporations against him.
