I wouldn't go as far as to say that once two people have clicked on the same tracking link the company behind it can tell what your relation is directly. What they will know is that the two or more people are connected in some way, to then infer in what way, they need other circumstantial data, maybe they have an account on that website and they share the surname or, even easier, without account they can tell that the requests came from IPs that come from a circumscribed area, and on and on, the more data points you add the better predictions the company can make.
If several IPs from disparate places in the world use the same link they can probably tell that the link was shared on social media, not knowing which one, but it was sent in a public internet space at least

Yes! It's this one https://open-vsx.org/extension/zokugun/sync-settings I really like it for using a normal repository over a "gist" and so you can also use any git server provider, I think the developer is also a contributor of VSCodium itself
Just not specifying if in positive or negative
It looks like it works with Firefox's reading mode, I was trying 12ft.io too, but it seems it has some problem, it doesn't remove the paywall for me
That's a fair suggestion, but still, that's not "spying", that's just called "complying with the law", if any service didn't, they'd risk shutting down.
The problem is at the root, it is that they have or can have the data passing through your address (unless you encrypt everything you can with PGP, but who uses that realistically? I wish it were more popular...). When they have the power to get relevant data on you in any way, you can't ever fully trust them.
The only sure way to protect yourself from such threats is by using a whole different kind of platform where the provider couldn't ever get the data, not even if it wanted, all private instant messengers are what PGP wishes it could be and way way more and meets exactly that purpose
Now that's an extreme statement. If your concern are the governments then you shouldn't even be using email in the first place, it wasn't built for private communication and all the attempts that were made to make it more private immediately fall apart when 90% of your contacts are sitting on Gmail.
Proton is good for what it is, i.e. not Google.
Who would you suggest otherwise?
I don't know what that is honestly, also because I've never actually tried any of that stuff, I just follow the news here and there.
Anyway, I think this article focuses on commercial options made available for free through external websites, I don't know if that's also what this Kobold AI does, if not then that's your answer I guess
Why do I feel like the home page is quietly flipping me off?
So hiiigh
I'd give a handshake
That wasn't very programming.dev of you
Is it me or that feature make the the startup time unbearably slow? After I got tired of waiting seconds the app to show me the link opening options I just disabled that ajd keep URL check on the side for when I see the link is riddled with useless parameters (or even worse URLs inside URLs)
