The cyber truck is almost rugged enough to Brave the Home Depot parking lot (so long as it’s been recently paved.

Kentucky Governor sounds good at first glance. Haven’t thought hard about this yet though

That’s true, but this feature doesn’t involve your browser tracking you or profiling you. It only relates to anttribution. And if you don’t trust that, it’s an easy 1-click opt out.

There is a good high level explainer here: https://andrewmoore.ca/blog/post/mozilla-ppa/

What?

uBO absolutely helps against tracking. It is at least half of its reason for existing.

The two primary lists are an (1) an ad block list (2) an anti-tracking list.

And used in medium or hard mode uBO categorically blocks many methods of tracking.

But also, if you use Firefox, this is layered on top of Enhanced tracking protection, blocking of 3p tracking cookies, and total cookie protection (dfpi)

I got stoned enough to forget my age a few months ago… not like for a moment… I consciously focused on it for 15 minutes, couldn’t figure it out, kept pondering the rest of the night and couldn’t remember until the next morning…

I am old enough to occasionally forget my age, not to literally not be able to recall it… so I can empathize if bro is just waaay too stoned to comprehend the concept of a bra haha

Make:

• Bouncy things less bouncy
• Pokey things less pokey
• Gravity less gravit-y

Tbf most consumers hate all customer service.

While I’d prefer to just speak to a human, I’d much prefer AI over the status quo of dead dumb automated systems that just keep looping through the same preset options until you get enraged and give up or mash zero

Not me. I was interested in the tech and innovations that underlie cryptocurrency since the early 2010s and I’ve disliked and distrusted Musk for as long as I can remember.

At that time the reddit hive mind loved Musk and was positive towards crypto, now the Reddit Hive mind has realized they actually hate musk and categorically hate crypto. My views haven’t changed (Musk is a shitty narcissistic human, and crypto solves some useful problems despite a deserved reputation for attracting a lot of scammy projects and people).

It’s a word that has become popular in general in the last year-ish. But if you hear it more here. It is likely because it is a term used to describe the dynamic that pushed people from Reddit and other platforms to Lemmy. So you will here it more here, since pretty much everyone here has been personally affected by it.

Basically we are a self selecting group of people who chose to leave (or minimize use of) big tech platforms. And are therefore much more likely to be aware of the problems with those platforms.

Considering that in this analogy you’d be asking the mugger to be your protector it is still unreasonable.

Particularly considering there are plenty of reputable and privacy respecting vpn providers

Yeah voluntarily using a VPN from Google (the largest tracking and Adtech company), is like voluntarily seeking out Mob “protection”

I just wish that a free-speech-absolutist-billionaire would buy the platform so things like this wouldn’t happen anymore. He could even rename it something cool (like ‘Y’ or ‘Z’) to get some street-cred with edgy middleschoolers…

Flatpak is not designed to solve all the same problems as snap they have very different scopes and goals. It’s really only Linux hobbyists that see these as comparable technologies.

Also the Steam flatpak is unofficial just like the snap, they would be unwilling to support flatpak issues as well.

I think there is no “we” and there is no “them”

It’s an arbitrary distinction between two groupings that are too broad to meaningfully judge.

There is also no point or honor in judging on its own. If you dislike Greenpeace’s approach, find another approach and devote yourself to it, put your money where your mouth is.

Activism is in reality often a choice between choosing the least worst strategy in a context where you have limited power and control, and any decision you make will alienate someone. Particularly the armchair-sitters who believe they are “in the middle” and who’s only contribution tends to be saying empty things like “I believe in their mission just not their tactics” but don’t put forward a practical strategy of their own. This applies to most activism, particularly direct action.

You seem to be spamming this reply as widely and as often as you can.

Nobody said that… but have fun arguing with your own little straw man.

I think you are falling into whataboutism.

Just because they expressed skepticism of one sides propaganda doesn’t mean they would accept the other side’s propaganda at face value.

Goood god 😮

I think you may have an unhealthy relationship with Extensions. 🙃

Remember that everytime you install an additional extension you are effectively expanding your circle of trust, giving some company or developer privileged access to your browsing. The only extensions vetted for security by Mozilla are the ones with an ‘Recommended’ badge next to the name. Each additional extension increases the risks to your privacy, your security, and just generally increases the potential for issues.

At least some of the extensions on your list are violating your privacy/exist to harvest your personal data, profile you, or sell you things.

That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use extensions at all. But it does mean you should be thoughtful about what you install. Should do your due diligence, look into extensions before you install them, and understand the developers motivations for giving you something for free which costs them time and sometimes money (There are legit reasons but also common malicious reasons). And it means you should be cautious and reluctant to install too many new extensions.

If I were in your shoes with this many extensions, I wouldn’t be asking which individual extensions to get rid of, I’d start with a fresh Firefox profile, configure it roughly like this, get rid of all the extensions except uBlock Origin and Bitwarden and maybe violent monkey if that is something you rely on. And then slowly reads extensions as needed, one at a time, spending time to research it a bit before installing and researching if there is a better way to accomplish it.

With no other extensions Firefox + uBO can be really powerful and flexible, you’ve just got to spend some time learning how to use them. There are a few others on your list that I use also, but I’d say start with the basics and build from there. Also if you feel you need the shopping and deals extensions at least consider putting them in their own profile that you use only for shopping.

Why do you feel this way? The examples of polygamy that I can think of were popularized through religion not in spite of it.

Examples: Islam, Mormonism,

early Judaism and to some degree Christianity permitted it as well.
