    Minor FosseryWeb update: table of contents at the top of article pages (on both sites), updated browser compatibility info (for latest versions of Pale Moon and Servo) on original site:
    fosseryweb.codeberg.page/artic
    fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/a
    fosseryweb.codeberg.page/about
    (Unfortunately Codeberg Pages is broken at the moment. In the meantime, you can clone the repo (although Codeberg itself is also painfully slow) and run the code locally using PHP server I guess: codeberg.org/fosseryweb/pages/ )
    (Seems like disallowing large-scale AI slop and crypto-related repos isn't enough to prevent overload, now that everyone is migrating over from GitHub)
    (Btw, thanks @lily_linck for the table of contents idea)

    Privacy giant Proton may be building a web browser — but its community turns cold:
    techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-
    (Well, I don't rely that heavily on the Proton ecosystem, so I didn't notice any bug in existing products, but regardless, I also think they shouldn't expand more, because they already have a wide ecosystem which can lock people in, so it's basically Google. People should be taught to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, not to switch to another ecosystem just because it claims to be more privacy-focused. There were already some news that Proton handed over user data to authorities.)
    (As for the Chromium base, I agree that supporting the Chromium monopoly isn't a good idea, although unfortunately it's necessary to use a Chromium-based browser for a few sites, web apps which don't play nice with Firefox.)

    (Those who accept crypto donations, or write a blog post about crypto as a privacy tool on their Pages site should be fine I guess.)

    (I guess the reason they are doing all of these bans is that they have limited server capacity, and because of many FOSS projects migrating to the platform from GitHub, their servers often seem overloaded, the site loads slowly.
