Listen app devs, nobody wants to use your in-app browser. We don't care that it's "powered by Chrome", if I click a link just let it open in default browser. Our cookies and cached info is there, you're actively hindering our experience, and making us less likely to use your app.

Alright, I've finished most of the things that I wanted to finish, so I created a pull request for background blur in niri: https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/pull/3483

Please give it a good test and tell me if anything's broken!

Today is the day, the EU decides on Chat Control 1.0. Will they let the Trojan Horse through the gate and let Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn etc continue to scan all your messages?

We at Tuta say NO. 

❌ No scanning
❌ No mass surveillance
❌ No age verification

Instead we fight for:

✅ Encryption
✅ Privacy
✅ Open Source

And so should the EU. Stop #ChatControl now! 🥊
