  • Personally, I wouldn’t be interested in continuing DivestOS itself, as that is much lower level than I’m comfortale at. If I were to do this I’d focus on maintaining mull. I’ll reach out if this seems feasible for me. Will prob have a chance to deep dive on the 26th

    After a quick look at what I believe is mull’s most up to date repo https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix

    It doesn’t appear to be too complex to maintain (only looked at the past 3 or so commits as I’m with fam right now)

    Hoping someone continues with the project, as it was, in my opinion, probably the most privacy friendly browser for android other than Tor which has it’s usability issues.

    I may try to play around with setting up an fdroid build server for the interim after the holidays.

    Edit: I wonder if the old maintainer would be open to having some sort of knowledge transfer session?






  • I live in a relatively high tourist traffic beach town, just outside of a large city (~15 mins) and there was zero accurate POIs when I first moved here a few years back. I ended up mapping a lot of the high interest areas around here around 6 months or so back on street complete during my walks, but kinda burnt out on it.

    I head about some mastodon or twitter page that post rural areas and a bunch of people mob on mapping them.

    What they really should do is post towns like mine that are very very busy but are lacking up to date maps



  • Huh mullvad browser got me the lowest overall. 10.44 bits and a non-unique fingerprint.

    Compared against:

    • Firefox with arkenfox user.js (macOS)
    • Tor (macOS and android)
    • Vanadium (android)
    • Cromite (android)
    • Mull (different than mullvad) (android)

    I do a vast majority of my browsing on my phone, unfortunately. Vanadium scored the best (on mobile), but it not having extensions (dark reader is a must) and the navigation bar not being movable to the bottom of the screen keeps me on Mull.

    I don’t love using mullvad for day to day browsing as I can’t whitelist specific cookies to retain. Don’t love having to re 2fa daily.
