“Hey, it’s totally cool that Microsoft GitHub blocked access to one of the repositories in the very center of the xz backdoor saga,” Michal Woźniak, a white hat hacker who was part of a team that discovered DRM in a Polish train earlier this year wrote on Mastodon. “It’s not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try to make sense of all the right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like. Cool, cool.”
Security teams that break stuff to mitigate risk and call it fixed is exactly what Linus’s Do No Harm plea is about.
Edit: It’s still disabled
Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub’s terms of service.
Starting in Android 15, radio vendors will be able to add support for Android’s new location privacy HAL, which can tell the radio not to share location data for any non-emergency requests.
A request not to share it is not control, it’s just a request. So any law enforcement seeking your location would receive it anyway

They offer legal aid to high-profile open source cases. So if you want them to notice, raising awareness of Nintendo’s current actions against Yuzu is a good step

If you wish to support us a different way, please join our Discord and talk to bunnei. You may also contact: donations@yuzu-emu.org.
Or you could wait until the EFF commits to representing Yuzu (like they did for youtube-dl) and donate to the EFF at that point
There’s a request on r/yuzu for a GoFundMe, but it has no response from the devs so far.
The author seems to be upset that a Google accessory doesn’t work with a non-Google phone, because they expect Android to just mean Android. If you don’t want to be locked into Google hardware, buy an Android phone from literally anyone except Google
Currently, uBlock Origin and other ad blockers rely on features enabled by the webRequestBlocking
permission, which lets them block any request that is only useful for ads or tracking. Manifest V3 hides webRequestBlocking
abilities except from extensions that are force-installed, or installed through policy for an organization.
That said, Chrome removing Manifest V2 will not kill uBlock Origin on Chrome. uBlock Origin’s Manifest V3 support page says as much:
Rest assured, uBlock will continue to function on the Manifest V3 platform!
In practice, though, that means Chrome users who don’t switch to Firefox will probably need to make do with uBlock Lite (which, for example, cannot yet circumvent YouTube’s new anti-adblocker popup). Meanwhile, Manifest V2 will join the list of reasons that uBlock Origin works best on Firefox. A comparison of uBlock Lite vs uBlock Origin
Anyway, that’s the challenge (and gorhill’s workaround so far). You can follow gorhill’s progress at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338
