  Oh, sorry for the confusion. The posts online I’ve found about the subject of disabling fingerprinting protection in Librewolf are full of people who state that doing so “defeats the purpose of Librewolf”. Which probably WAS true before Mozilla’s recent changes, since the sole reason Librewolf had to exist was to be a hardened version of Firefox.

  That’s no longer the case since Librewolf has a new purpose (now that Mozilla thinks they own the right to sell all your data): a Firefox fork without Mozilla.

  I disabled a lot of that stuff because it’s kind of annoying for usability, e.g. browser won’t render anything at more than 60fps. I know this is a trade off and I’m cool with that. I have other tools and strategies in place to protect my privacy.

  (referring to the embedded YouTube video) There’s something about the humanoid form that hacks my brain. It just feels cruel to not also invite the robot to the table too

  Been using it all day now and yeah, it’s very smooth sailing. The tweaks I made basically involved removing fingerprinting protection, which I saw people online deride as “defeating the entire purpose of Librewolf”. Well, not true anymore.

  I just want manifest v3 and to not have to consent to ToS agreements implicitly allowing some suspicious organisation to harvest and sell literally any keypress I enter into the browser, which has become the de facto cross platform way to do almost everything.

  Nice, what issues?

  TBH I was tempted to try IceCat first because of the name (I’m not a furry but I do think cats are cool). But no official binaries and I’m already running enough custom-compiled software, thing I need least is for my browser to be like that too haha

  Gahhhh this is horrible

  I spent some time switching to Librewolf this morning but at the end of the day, it having Firefox as the upstream means it’s all fragile and tenuous anyway

  On the other hand, if you find yourself thinking “hmm, I have great technical skills including software architecture, I could make a positive broader impact here!” they’re going to ignore you unless you’re a smooth talking charismatic motherfucker

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s part of the fun of an “ask people” forum, the answers reveal the common understanding of the definition of the question itself!

  For example, In this question the term “male loneliness” is seemingly semantically meaningful. It seems to be a name given to the popular perception or understanding of a certain phenomenon.

  Renewables’ EROEI will be sufficiently low compared to now such that the need for human powered manual labour will vastly increase. More jobs!

  (Note, the EROEI on non renewables will be effectively zero, as they will be gone, so there isn’t a choice)

  One thing I loved about the original three games - through save importing you could have a line of unbroken continuity (with only a few strange abrupt departures from the narrative… #TeamShani)
