I don’t think google fear Apple having to offer a choice to users. They fear Apple defaulting to Bing or something else.

While most people might choose google when presented with a choice, possibly more people are just going to keep the default settings when not presented with a choice.

Usually the websites and apps you use, but not what specific page you visit and it’s content.

If you for example visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States they could see that you visited https://en.wikipedia.org/ but nothing more.

This is assuming that the website is encrypted (it starts with https://, not http://), which nowadays luckily most websites are. Otherwise they can see the specific page, it’s content and most likely also all information you input on that page.

They recently announced that they will publish new exploits at DEF CON next week and recommend owners to not update their firmware if they want to take advantage of that.

So depending on how the exploit works installing Valerie might get a lot simpler. It usually takes quite some time until such exploits are not only fixed, but then also for devices with fixed firmware to hit the shelves.

Do you use podman run followed by podman generate or are you using quadlet?

Quadlet is integrated in podman 4.4 and up and makes it possible to declare your containers in .container files that look like systems unit files and still get the full systems integration: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/multi-container-application-podman-quadlet

Many of the keys sold on key reselling sites are bought with stolen credit cards. It usually works like this:

1. Someone obtains stolen credit card data (can be easily bought on the dark web)
2. The stolen credit card data is used to buy keys from official key sellers (or directly from the developer of they offer them)
3. Those keys are then sold on key reselling sites
4. The credit card owner notices that his credit card data was stolen, contacts his credit card company and does a charge back. 5.The official key seller has to pay back the money + a charge back fee.
