  Firefox, the software mainly driven by Mozilla, which is heavily investing in AI and ads ventures? That Firefox?

  But, maybe “it will be different this time”, I guess.

  also the “GUI” for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can’t just jank my way out with printf() from various issues

  And that is an issue because…?

  something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty

  It’s the same when it’s in your pocket. I’d say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.

  Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.

  Disable automatic updates

  Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

  You know, being neutral and all that.

  Real hetero cis men only have sex with other real hetero cis men, preferably more than one at a time, to avoid lowering their male-ness. That’s the only way to keep our society alive, obviously.

  Pfffrt. These jokers are such idiots.

  Anyone that used them for even a limited amount of time will tell you that the thing can give you a correct, detailed explanation on how to do a thing, and provide a broken result. And vice versa. Looking into it by asking more have zero chance of being useful.

  I don’t know how it works in the US, and it’s certainly not perfect, but if you bring “compromised” evidences of actual child abuse, you can be sure it’ll trigger some extensive investigation. Sometimes, this leads to nothing. Sometimes, the “evidences” were not really evidence, but more of a hunch. Sometimes, it leads to actual consequences.

  One issue with such a vigilante system is that sometimes, you’re wrong. That’s why due process is a thing. But the “this evidence was collected illegally, so we won’t even look up the guy” thing isn’t really a thing, as long as the evidence is better than “I’m sure of it”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great. Just dump anyone you dislike as a “pedophile” and then it’s a free for all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get your new PebbleOS watch⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pebble is now playing a gambit, whereby they think they will sell more of the premium model to people who will be using it for exercise and health reasons.

  There’s an explicit line in their site that says these are not made to be fitness trackers, and that garmin are good for that (or some other brand, can’t remember). It would be very odd to say that if it was their target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to enumerate them, mostly because I did not keep track of which one was on and which one was off before messing all of them up. If you’re curious, open “about:config” and search for “survey*.enabled”, “collect*.enabled”. Even with all settings disabled, some of them remains on, and they do cause traffic to the (documented) endpoints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, you can disable the settings that are exposed to you with a checkbox. How about all the other that have no checkboxes and you can find by snooping around in either the code or about:config ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not dug too deep into it for now (especially if I end up changing browser), but even with everything in the preferences disabled, examining the content of about:config gives a lot of telemetry.whatever.enabled left to true, sometimes with names that do not seem to match any option given to the user. That’s not a good look either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. And their privacy notice is basically a mix-match of ten or so sections that have no place in a web browser privacy policy, that allows them to do the things people reproach them for doing.

  It’s like saying “we’re not doing that, because we’re limited by that document that allows us to do just that”. And now they’re tripling down on it.
