  • The article title (now?) has a second line which IMO is important to include in the headline. The whole title is currently:

    Trump Named Delcy Rodríguez Venezuela’s Interim President and a US Partner in Governing the Country

    Two Hours Later, She Publicly Rejected Washington, Called It an Aggressor, and Reaffirmed Loyalty to Nicolás Maduro

    From the article:

    US president Donald Trump said that Delcy Rodriguez had been sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and had agreed to act in partnership with Washington—effectively allowing the United States to run the country.

    “In essence, she is prepared to do what we believe is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” Trump said.

    Less than two hours later, Rodriguez, who had previously served as vice-president under Nicolas Maduro, delivered a televised address to Venezuelans in which she made clear that she regarded the United States as an illegal occupier whose actions must be rejected.

    “We are determined to be free,” she said. “What is being done to Venezuela is barbarism.”











  • Check what version of Syncthing-fork you’re running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

    AFAICT F-droid hasn’t built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub’s end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don’t believe those are published anymore)

    Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one.

    This seems to be the main thrust. GrapheneOS has a hardened WebView, that using a Gecko browser bypasses and adds more attack surface because you still have the WebView.

    Outside of Graphene this is less relevant (because of the lack of hardening) and outside of mobile only the isolation comments are relevant, which they note are being improved rapidly in desktop.

    Arguments in favour of using Gecko browsers are typically about preventing a single corporation from monopolising web standards, and having continued access to proper ad blockers, things that are not part of Graphene’s focus.
