This is the only positive thing in the Trump administration so far. I was worried that they were going to de-fang the FTC and DOJ’s antitrust efforts and just start handing out slaps on the wrist again, but nope. It seems they’re going ahead with the Biden-era aggressiveness, which is awesome.

Of course, they’ll never touch Musk’s companies, and it remains to be seen if Microsoft/Google/etc will be able to bribe Trump for a settlement. But at least it’s a glimmer of hope in the otherwise onslaught of depressing news.

I like postmarketos, but lol. Lmao, even.

Because it creates e-waste, and e-waste is immensely profitable.

I remember running some linux distro on my G1 wayy back in the day. Idk if it was debian, but it was a formative learning experience for me since it taught me what “chroot” was.

Xitter isn’t meant to make a profit directly, it’s a loss leader to gain government influence so he can make real money through government contracts via Space X, Starlink, etc

I really don’t like this idea. The series has always been “pseudo mature”, by which I mean it portrays itself as being for older audiences, but doesn’t have any real meat on them bones. It’s all fluff and aesthetics around good gameplay.

They should just stick to the games imo

Is this bait? Like “gif” vs “jif”, or is there really a non obvioua way to pronounce it?

In heat of battle, anyone can form a brand new relationship sooner than that.

Explains why all the incels are backing Trump. They hope to find their boyfriend-free virgin girlfriend on the battlefield of the civil war.

I think it’d be less creepy if there was an easily accessible public dashboard displaying this telemetry. E.g. like counters showing how many people hide the bookmark bar. If you can instantly see what data your browser is sending in an easily digestible format (ie not a dump of JSON in a submenu), it’s easier to gain a quick understanding of the benefits vs minimal privacy tradeoffs.

But it really depends on trust: trust that they’re not collecting more than they claim, and trust that the data is properly anonymized. Mozilla has lost that trust.

I didn’t know that, but tbh not surprising. Dotcom-era tech bro billionaires are all the same.

I don’t get your point, are you saying that using LibreWolf will still send your personal data to Mozilla? A privacy hardened config should be enough to disable all data collection, unless there’s some kind of hidden telemetry in Firefox. That’d be hard to hide considering the open source nature of Firefox.

Also, looking at the source repo, it seems like LibreWolf is not just a config file, it’s also a bunch of patches to the source code, plus they do build from source and publish their own binaries. So if Mozilla does try to sneak telemetry in, the LibreWolf maintainers are well positioned to patch it out.

Anyone still using Firefox after this probably hasn’t been keeping up with Mozilla’s many controversies. If this is your first time here, I can see why you’d decide to overlook it. I did for a long time, but this is the final straw for me. Luckily, instead of building anything useful over the past decades, Mozilla leadership has been instead focused on enriching themselves. That means deleting my Mozilla account right now was easy.

I’ve now moved to LibreWolf, because I don’t want to support Chromium’s dominance, but if that project dies out I’ll jump ship. It’ll be a real shame if the world gets stuck with Chromium as the only viable browser, but it won’t be my fault. It will be Mozilla leadership’s fault.

Don’t forget the CEO’s worst crime: he’s the inventor of javascript

Why are you assuming that it is? Maybe it’s because I’m not a religious person, but I don’t see anything morally wrong with sex work. Whether someone is doing it against their will is a separate issue, but that’s not an assumption I’d make without other evidence.

If you really are coming at this issue from a religious point of view, then there’s no point getting into a discussion here since I’m not going to change your mind on that (nor do I care to; believe what you want). Otherwise, I’m curious what your actual arguments might be.

This is a dumb framing. People want to stop climate change to protect themselves and their loved ones from having to live in an inhospitable hellscape and doom humanity to extinction, not because of an emotional connection to the actual planet.

Speak for yourself. I’ll slur all his disabilities any chance I get.

I use MXRoute, which is a similar tiny/one-person email service. Also great so far. I use it for personal stuff + a client’s professional business emails, and haven’t had any issues with either.

Supporting small businesses like these feels great!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME!

What do you run Android TV on? Raspberry Pi? My cheapo solution has been to use an old Android phone that supports DP alt mode (USB-C to HDMI adapter) combined with a USB hub + generic air mouse/remote + customized launcher.

It actually works surprisingly well. I installed FCast on it, so it even works like a Chromecast. If I’m watching a video on my phone using Grayjay, I can just cast it to the phone and it will start playing automatically. The only thing stopping it from being perfect is that it can’t turn the TV on automatically. As a plus, since the phone has a battery, it’s always powered on so I don’t have to wait for stuff to boot, and it uses relatively little power.

… but overall it’s janky and finicky, and the OEM bloatware is probably spying on me, so I’ve been looking for alternatives that can match the good parts of this setup.

I don’t like Raspberry Pis for this because they’re overpriced. I have a couple that I could use for this, but I’m hoping to find a cheaper solution, and one that I can recommend to friends/family when they ask. (the Android phone I’m using cost me a total of $15 on ebay)
