- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 20 hours ago:
And tk think that you’ve barely scratched the surface of the actual shitshow that fucker is. I’m not British, but have plenty of very good British friends, and in my over half a century of age, I never though 1 fucker could destroy British culture and way of life the way this asshole has singlehandedly done, and somehow figuring out how to make it worse every day. I feel for the British people.

Agreed, but Australia and the UK are way ahead of the rest.

Stamer is running a social experiment, see how many people worldwide can hate him in the least amount of time possible. Everything he and his goons do is double down constantly on shit nobody wants.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 day ago:
What’s your point? Are you saying that I should use Firefox and be paranoid about some new bullshit ‘feature’ on every update and keep wasting time trying to find something that might, or might not, have been included in a new version and waste even more time figuring out how to disable it if found, assuming they haven’t locked it to make it unable to be disabled?
I think you would do good to review your streamlines bro. That would be stupid, to use a light word, when we have options that allow us to just entirely avoid Mozilla’s bullshit.

Thank you. These are great articles.

Fennec and IronFox.

And a shitload of time to keep the fork relevant as web sites keep evolving.

Well, older news is: “Firefox has evolved into the first thing I uninstall when I install Fedora, or any other Linux distro for that matter”. Since the first mention of their so-called “anonymous telemetry” I began to actively avoid them. Like someone else mention, thank God for Librewolf, Mullvad and Brave (with Leo disabled).

And even if you are an employee, only in work related stuff and during business hours, the rest, get out of my life.

Throw it on Stamer’s head, at least you give it one last food use.

Some people, yes. 1 hit is what they need to start backing up. Others thay just know. Then there’s the others, who Wil suffer again, and again, and… you get the idea 😞

All their TVs are dumb. We’re moving to a new house next year, and I decided all our TVs will be Sceptre.

We do have the option of not buying their crap. We have the option of never connecting them to the internet if we ended up buying it. We have the option of blocking all their services and domains in our networks. We have options. Granted we have a limited range of options, but we do have options.

- Comment on Good NAS solution for dummies / apple users? 1 week ago:
I had the lower end one when I switched from Synology, 2-Bay. Everything was the same, a few UI differences, same functionality. Don’t know what it looks like today since I moved to ProxMox, and just backup everything to it and then 3-2-1 it, but it can’t have gotten harder to use, can it?

Disney investing in me not wanting anything to do with them, when they achieved that the minute they bought Star Wars. What a waste of good money.

Because AI pays close attention to every single clause, so it’s guaranteed Sora will follow directions without fucking up. 😒

Or just a VM running Home Assistant OS. Works great for me in ProxMox.

You have to show me that truck, how you got out of your apartment while remaining in the hole. That’s some Goyo Satori stuff right there.

Doesn’t seem like Gitea has that issue, and just keep registrations disabled if possible and if your projects allow, avoid symlinking.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 1 week ago:
I’ve been on librewolf for years, and as long as I’m running the FlatPak version, all Firefox extensions work. Having said that, you do have a few options to sync. One is using your Firefox account (I don’t suggest you do because of Mozilla’s BS over the past year or so, but you would be sharing way less stuff this way). In my case, the only thing I want synced in browsers is the bookmarks, so I use floccus extension in every browser, floccus app in android, and host them all in a self-hosted linkwarden instance. I hope that helps.
- Comment on Linux usage hits an all-time high in Steam Hardware Survey—and AMD processors continue their march against Intel 1 week ago:
According to her, it didn’t work. I have no idea what macros those are, and in all honesty, I don’t care either, as I don’t have to do it (I know that’s a douche comment, but here we are). As long as I’m not the one hack g to deal with that crap, I’m not even asking. At the end of the day, that’s all she uses that laptop for, the rest is either company hosted or self hosted and she can use it all on her phone or tablet when she’s out and about or in her PC when I get home the office.

Only Office and LibreOffice do, I but the macros used by our tax authority completely break there, so she’s left with the excel option alone.
