Valid concern as I use their browser often. From their FAQ (link):
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 week ago:
I’m considering adding it to the alternatives list I posted. Can anybody else validate their privacy policy? Seemd ok but I’m a bit iffy regarding their use of telemetry. Maybe I’m overthinking it

Thank you. Something I would absolutely consider
- Comment on In Vermont, an ultralocal social network is as popular as Facebook 1 week ago:
Understanding the problems you’ve outlined, can the positive functionality of this platform be replicated? I mean, we’re on the fediverse (?) here and it’s a decentralized platform but it’s not geography close-knit. I think having neighbors talk would be a net positive for society but nextdoor obviously seems like it replicates the worst of social media

I’m excited for these to mature but they are still developing and would not recommend them for regular use

- Comment on Amazon shuts down Chime, its Zoom alternative 2 weeks ago:
Chime was a piece of shit. But it had a killer feature. If you had a meeting, and you accepted it, that shit would blow up your screen to join. I NEED that.
I am so desensitized to the constant onslaught of work notifications that a little popup just doesn’t cut it for me.
If anyone has suggestions, lmk.Gobless

- Comment on "Introducing you Fast Music Remover, a free and open source tool that filters internet media" 2 months ago:
I haven’t seen anyone mention that this could be a massive improvement for persons using adaptive technologies to interact with audio media. Ive personally witnessed complaints from users of hearing aids and transcription tools who get annoyed by music messing up the content they’re trying to get from a video or podcast

Anyone know how we would be able to continue these products? My understanding is that this charger is 100% controlled by an app. Are there open source alternatives?

- Comment on Instead of carrying multiple camera lenses, this one lets you swap optics 6 months ago:
Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It’s cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don’t want the expense. It’s also lighter.
The problems:
- more serious photographers will want better optics and I don’t think this brand is it
- Sharing optics adds complexity to gear in terms of dust/moisture ingress *Cheap prime lenses are not that expensive. This will cost more *You’re better off with a higher quality zoom lens that covers the range of this system
- Comment on Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons? 6 months ago:
It’s a bit involved to host the server but easier than most self-hosting services, in my opinion. Then there’s the audio setup which I think is super easy for digital audio folk but may be a challenge for folks who haven’t had to mess with digital audio much. The biggest thing people had problems with was turning off wifi and connecting via network cable. Reduced latency by leaps and bounds
Like I said, video was a separate device for my playing so it was kind of a non-issue. Mixing and production in OBS is way over my head.
- Comment on Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons? 6 months ago:
I’m not sure if this solves your problem, but it’s an opportunity to plug Jamulus . It’s FOSS, and one of the best solutions if your target is uncompromising sound quality/latency. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do video. I’ve jammed with a band on it and was very successful. Vide was on a phone or separate machine. When we performed, video was mixed by another user using OBS, and streamed on Zoom

- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 1 year ago:
I’m not really a networking expert so I can’t make too good of a guess as to what happened. I’m on the latest Firefox mobile release on Android and was accessing from a Colorado IP. When I originally tried the site, nothing was rendered. It was a blank page or just a redirect for download. I didn’t download the .bin. I clicked your link twice before sending my message.

Your link is not on https and asking me to download a .bin file. Extremely sus
