Ladybird is extremely amazing project. Andreas is a good person, with great community around him. The only thing I didn't like is the new logo - it is very meta-ish. Looks very corporative, and doesn't really resemble browser :(

I've been using FF on mobile for couple of weeks now, I dont see any major issues, in fact, no issues at all. Plus, it has extension support.

Why do people hate FF on mobile?

Unfortunately, there are the ame stuff about Firefox too. Mozilla Foundation is such a corrupt organization with extreme shady finances.

Foundation's main income is royalties by google: 567M per year.

Donations: 7M (which almost goes to the CEO's bonuses)

the CEO gets 700K salary and 4.6M bonuses. Lmao.

I'd suggest, using Firefox but not donating to them.

Or GrayJay. They have the app on f-droid too. It aggregates almost every video sharing websites. YouTube, twitch, rumble, odysee etc.

They are legally obliged to, lmao. After companies become public, they have to maximize profits, if not, shareholders can simply vote to fire whomever they want. Look at every company on earth. They all with the same road. from facebook, google, to soon-to-be-public reddit.

Can you please share some info about why office 365 is in a dangerous spot in Germany? Very based country btw, this might be the reason why they donated 1M to GNOME project, considering it public interest project.

Of course this won't happen. The day they release it, world will collapse because of the newly discovered vulnerabilities and stuff. Security over obscurity is major player in securities of closed source programs.

Switched to Linux - Fedora, PopOs, Mint 5-6 years ago, never looked back. But there is 3 months gap, when I built my PC I installed windows on it and used for some time. The worst computing experience I had in last 5 years.

Yes, exactly. They already know that fines for monopoly is more expensive that half a billion to spare to mozilla, lol.

Such a bad time to live.

I only have hope to Ladybird 🐞 now 🥺

Holy shit I didn't know about these books. Just checked for our family car, it is such a well written book!

lmao. Even after disabling toggles, they got choices like:

  • Save my preferences (grayed out) - as much invisible as possible
  • Accept (bigger and in blue background) - feels like it will accept based on my choices

Hi. Thanks a lot for your kind words and enthusiasm!

We are currently thinking about this "movement" and trying to plan stuff. If you have something on your mind, you are more than welcomed to create an issue.

I really appreciate your passion on this matter, and will kindly contact you after we structure stuff on our minds. Cheers!

It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.

That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.

Yes.. I totally agree. I also think there will always be some sacred, little places, just like an oasis in a desert. They will be inaccessible, expensive, or maybe one day illegal, but they will exist, and it is my hope on this issue.

Just checked on Kagi. It doesn't provide quick answer to this query, but that weird EmergentMind website is #1 on results. This is prolly because Kagi is taking some of the results from Google index, but good thing is, I can just block this website using lenses.

Thanks for pointing out. Will definitely consider your feedback!

You are correct, but unfortunately, this is what happens in reality.

Can you please specify which ones do you mean?

I understand what glad_cat means, and they are kinda correct. On the other hand, FF (at least, for now) won't be implementing this change.

This is a nice analogy. Thanks 👍

It has ability to disable, but actually disabling all of them is not recommended at all. Recommended settings for this script delays security updates by 2 weeks and feature updates by 2 year

Yes these kind of distributions of windows are extremely suspicious. I once saw one that added additional stuff to ISO other than stuff from guthub repo.

Thanks for being the last required part to push me to using sourcehut. I am already loving it.

Just finished setting up thunderbird. The new design looks amazing! Although it has some UX problems, I hope they'll get resolved along the way.

Overall, pleased, and migrated all of my inboxes to it!

The developer is quite transparent about all the possible effects of this script. It tweaks to a point that you'll still receive security updates, and feature updates are a bit delayed.

Guys, I understand why company like Meta would like to federate with us. I know, they might require some kinda paperwork to federate with other instances and call it "anti terrorism, anti racism", etc. However, currently, we need their userbase to be able to use lemmy. Only in that case, people might consider switching to lemmy or other microblogging platform.

People are just too stubborn to even think about switching services. We need to keep this bar very much low, so it is easier for them.

Wow I didn't know this. Thanks a lot!

The traffic indeed increased. It was the same for twitter too. Elon did report that twitter usage is at an all time high now.

The main reason is probably people getting interested in controversy. E.g. me. I was visiting reddit maybe once a month, but after these changes, I was visiting it daily.

Anti-advertisement is also an advertisement.

Yes, it is simplified. But basically this is what happens every time. The pattern is the same.

I never understand why people prefer Vivaldi over, let's say, Chrome. I personally use FF with hardened security, but if I had no chance, I'd rather give my data to Google, not a browser company with an unknown business model and bloat.

Vivaldi is weird, I once talked with their CEO over on Mastodon (they are active there, which is a good sign, probably), it still felt shady, sadly.

Exactly, for this community is to blame. People mostly are against even minimal and anonymous surveys, telemetry and stuff. So, all they can do is just assuming that people want something or not.

Usually they are talking to active community members, whom, we all know that programmers and technical people.

IMHO, they need a bit more data to decide on

To be honest, I dont think this is that good of an idea. We need to stop talking about profile, but focus on the content in it. People like me could be able to follow friends and family over on threads, which could help in terms of user lock in.

Blocking them could be good idea if lemmy was big enough to compete.
