I’m not doing a whataboutism, I’m just saying that when a state big enough wants to exert it’s influence all over the world, it’s hard to curb that.

Probably when they also do something about US meddling… which is never.

companies like Fairphone and Framework and system76 have proven that it’s possible to support devices for a very long time when the bigger manufacturers told us it wasn’t possible, or even if it were possible that there was no market demand for seven years of software support. In 2016, sustainability and longevity were not words associated with new tech. They showed us the way.

I didn’t see the video with that much attention, but I’m pretty sure at some point he said something along these lines.

its far better to use a browser which was made from ground up to support user privacy and features rather then patching a browser which was made to compromises their user privacy

Unfortunately we don’t have that yet, since Librewolf is a fork of Firefox as well.

Also, if I had to guess by the number of forks, Gecko is way harder to fork than Chromium.

Yes… But they can modify it like they did when they suppressed Manifest V3 and like they will for the new web drm.

What if I told you… this isn’t a Google product?

Idk, I use gnome with pop shell tiling and Firefox is the only program that does it.

I’m also tired of Firefox’s bullshit pushing sponsored websites and Pocket and (before) injecting an extension to everyone to sponsor Mr. Robot.

But I don’t see you complaining about that.

I don’t see why making money needs to be at all a part of using a piece of software.

It doesn’t…?

When you install Brave the crypto is opt-in, and to hide it permanently is literally 2 clicks.

I want to like Firefox, both as normal user and as web developer, but something about it keeps bugging me. The UI feels sluggish, sites seem to be slightly less performant, and I can’t seem to get used to it.

I feel the exact same. I use linux with a tiling window manager and when I change format, Firefox just starts twitching like it’s trying to give me an epileptic seizure while chromium browsers do it just fine.

Also, sometime ago I tried to compare Chrome (when I still used it) and Firefox side by side with the same extensions opening the same websites and Firefox always took a bit more ram.

Because it was popular enough for it to make sense…?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work in Beehaw.

Do Macbooks have a matte screen?

And the important thing to understand about american libertarians is they are largely fascists.

So let me get this straight, the people that are always complaining that the government should have less power and interference into people’s lives and want guns for regular people in case the government starts oppressing them are aligned with… checks wikipedia “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”?

I don’t agree with the libertarian view and think it’s way too ignorant of the nature of Man and society, but I think that in your ramble of buzzwords you just created a very cute incoherent contradiction.

Bold of you to assume that that screen is gonna last 7 years.

I say this as I’m using Revanced. I only see ads on the shorts, though.

Doesn’t Youtube do this, at least with shorts?

I’m tired of seeing ads on “how you can make 15$ watching one video and earning 20k in a month doing almost nothing” and I can’t find a way to report it.

I don’t think it’s as much reducing performance, as it is stamping out poorly optimized cpu calls that make it work harder than it should.

Several reviewers I saw all said that the heat up issue is not consistent with doing performance work. One of them spent the whole day shooting 4k in the sun and the phone was fine. Then he went to use spotify while in airplane mode (literally on a plane) and the phone just started heating up for no reason.

Having almost no billionaires doesn’t mean we have any less wealth inequality than the other countries.

We’re just poor af as a whole.
