Apple Just Downgraded A Key Privacy Feature

Techlore — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:38:21 GMT

Apple is quietly downgrading Hide My Email...moving generated aliases to a new subdomain that makes it easy for apps and websites to detect and block anyone using a private email address. I also get into Google preparing to use your IP address for ad tracking across the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Chrome moving to fully kill the last uBlock Origin workarounds, and a lot more!

10 years of Nextcloud: Constanze Kurz interviews founder Frank Karlitschek

Nextcloud — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:00:28 GMT

This year, we are celebrating 10 years of Nextcloud. A decade of privacy, sovereignty and collaboration. The first person we want to talk to about it? Our founder Frank, without a doubt.

Constanze Kurz, German computer scientist, hacker, and activist, visited Frank in our Berlin office to ask him what it means to look at the decade of Nextcloud. Over a piece of birthday cake, of course.

Watch the interview to learn:
• How did it all start 10 years ago? Back then, would Frank have thought where he would land now with Nextcloud?
• What is his definition of digital sovereignty? Do business leaders genuinely understand that this concept matters for their vital interests?
• What wishes does Frank have for the Nextcloud community in the next years?

This conversation covers a lot more than that. We recommend watching it in full!

3 Apple Maps Alternatives That Can't Sell You Out

The Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About (John Ozbay Interview)

Techlore — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:00:59 GMT

End-to-end encrypted file sharing may sound simple, but for Cryptee, it took five years to ship. In this interview, Henry sits down with John Ozbay, founder and CEO of Cryptee, to talk through why: preventing CSAM, why client-side scanning doesn't work, how Cryptee's solution was designed to raise the barrier to mass spread without compromising encryption, and the broader philosophical question of where developer liability ends and moral responsibility begins.

Please engage in the comments with extra care; this is a sensitive topic, and some viewers may have personal experience with the issues discussed.

Permission Not Required: The Open Source App that Makes the Invisible Visible (Loupe Review)

Techlore — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:59:09 GMT

App tracking is mostly invisible, but now there's a free & open source iOS app that changes that. Loupe shows you what any app on your iPhone can quietly collect without asking for a single permission. This video walks through what it reveals, why it matters, and what you can do about it.

Meta Hid Face Recognition on 50 Million Phones

Techlore — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:19:06 GMT

Meta quietly embedded unreleased facial-recognition code, internally called "nametag" onto more than 50 million phones through its Meta AI app, then deleted it the day after Wired exposed it. This week I also get into Microsoft repos weaponized a second time to push credential-stealing malware to AI users, the UK's ultimatum to scan every device (and Signal's response), the FCC's push to kill burner phones...plus the usual breaches, threats, and a stacked week of FOSS+ updates.

How to Tell if an App Is Actually Secure (Most Aren't)

Techlore — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 23:44:08 GMT

Most apps claiming to be "private and secure" are using language that sounds meaningful but commits to almost nothing. I broke this down after watching a Shark Tank segment on Qeepsake, a baby journal app that calls itself "absolutely private and secure" because it has an SSL certificate. That's the same protection every website has. This is an industry-wide playbook. Here's how to read it.

Hammers Without Handles: Why Linux UX Sucks.

The Bryant Review — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:37:14 GMT

Inspired by LinusTechTip's latest Linux Daily Driver Challenge, I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let's face it... it sucks.

Actually, it's worse than that. Much of Linux's UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.

Like it or not, Windows is the dominant operating system. And it's not even close. That means when we're having a conversation about designing a User Experience on Linux-based operating systems, that conversation must be bookended by "how do Windows users expect this to work?" And we need to design for that or else everything falls apart.
