Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox’s stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech “journalist” take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to “track” users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn’t do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as “privacy friendly” and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Wow, Linaro. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

uBlock Origin is a must. Then Stylus with a global-dark userstyle. Very light on resource than Darkreader.

Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR)

What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?

I bought Designer last year as a one off. But there’s no point in mastering it anymore. That’s just going to suck you more into their ecosystem, then a subscription, then raising price, and then whatever they want.

seems like the profanity filter messed up the link.

Graphics card got way more expensive than the PC I had.

I hope you don’t mind some questions.

• what are the specs of the machine?
• average number of users?
• which one do you think is most resource intensive
• which one is time consuming to maintain/upgrade?

I am curious about selfhosting an instance for a community but am afraid federation will consume too much time/resource/money for a side project.

“Please drink verification can to continue emotional support for another hour”

Of course, one could argue that a Willy Wonka-inspired event that ended with angry parents and crying children is more authentic to Dahl’s novel than any of the recent Wonka movies.

this was funny.

IPv6 usually have unique IP addresses (non-local) for every device in the network. does that mean it will malicious actors can target a device specifically inside a network?

This is going to lead to a lot of harassment and stalking. The sender or receiver could use the numbers to find people on whatsapp, signal or any other social media app that allows users to link their contacts.

This is scarily creepy.

It is safer than not updating at all. Unsupported devices have a lot of exploits and vulnerabilities.
