directory to your PATH. Also overrules the command-line specified in the
``.desktop`` file if the Flatpak maintainer didn't include support for
command-line arguments.

Privacy Community feedback on the state of WKWebView

We are developers working on ways to empower users on the Web and help them protect their privacy. Based on our collective experience of creating privacy-preserving technologies for iOS, we have collected and curated a list of the most pressing short-comings of WKWebView (i.e. WebKit WebView). If addressed, these have the potential to positively impact the ecosystem at large, and benefit all users.

• Nobody knows that, but iCloud actually supports end-to-end encryption (see “Advanced Data Protection for iCloud”) but it's disabled by default. If you care about data privacy, you should turn it on.

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.
