Project mention: Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-03
Firefox and then Brave if I need a Chromium based browser, although I think I am going to ditch Brave for Thorium. Maybe even Edge, it's a lot better now.
Project mention: Thorium – The first browser to score over 600 speedometer points on a Mac M3 Pro | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06
FYI a number of streaming sites won't work - while this has Widevine, it does not have Verified Media Path (VMP) which verifies that you're running a signed binary. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/issues/84#iss...
https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases is an interesting Electron fork with full Widevine+VMP support - but it's very much closed-source.
The Thorium-win7 browser (which is now based on Supermium) - https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-win7/releases .
Project mention: Chrome still hasn't changed its opinion about dropping JPEG XL support | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-06
Project mention: Don't Use Thorium Browser – If Installed, Remove It | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-14Well you can get arrested and charged for pretty much anything. Will those charges stick, and will you have to defend them is the real question.
As for CP, in the UK and the US there is the defence that you were not aware of the CP, you should be fine, but you may have to spend time/money convincing cops/prosecutors that.
As for the repo on my account that got spammed with reports today there are 2 things to highlight 1) the reports were nothing to do with CP, but “Sexually explicit content suited only for mature audiences.” 2) the repo was a fork of GitHub’s own (discontinued) Atom editor, it doesn’t even have the files in question included in the repo. The email I got (will paste below) talks about files in another repo that were updated ~9 months ago (couldn’t be arsed to look into the files history to see if they had existed before then and that date was just the last time they were updated). My fork was from 2022 when GH discontinued Atom (was still using it for a couple of projects, so took a fork just in case, but ended up never needing it).
So the atom repo fork got restricted (would need to be logged in to GH to access it) for content it for what I can tell never even contained any porn, lol. Guess because the user in question also had a fork or just a repo with a similar name “atom-ng” someone or group mass spammed reports on those repos, because I got 5 emails from GH all with 1 min about this one repo that had been untouched for over a year. Anyway enough rambling, what follows is that email. Note the yiff folder never appeared in my fork at any time, but it was still flagged by GH
