It's ok, I prefer my colon without Open Sores.

They were, but as I understand they are once again independent. I'd still rather stick with Librewolf, but I'm glad there are options.

Seriously.

The last time I remember Firefox having serious memory leaks they called it Firebird. Guess I've been lucky. Or in a comfortable ignorant haze.

Mandrake. After that it gets hazy, but Mandrake was first.

UK is still a member of the Council of Europe and ECHR. It's confusing, but those are distinct from EU, which the UK is not a member of anymore.

Well thanks a lot, now I'm sad.

Check out Posteo. It's affordable and focuses on privacy.

Okey, it's like this: You and youtube both generate two keys, public and private. Public keys are public, anyone can see them. Doesn't matter. When you send a message to youtube, you encrypt it with their public key. Now, the trick is, the encryption is asymmetric, which means that the message can only be decoded if you also know the private key, which you never send anyone but keep hidden. Right? This way, as long as your private key is secure, you can not realistically decode the encryption from outside just knowing the public key. Thus setting up a secure connection is just an exchange of public keys.

This is more or less how I understand it.

Some time ago I also bought a PS5 and I regret it. It is absolutely not worth the hassle. Any benefits console gaming had are long gone.

You don't actually have to pay Amazon anything. I suggest you consider this.

Have you looked in to Jami?

As I understand it, the account is on your machine only. If you delete your profile, it's gone, unless you made backups. But I may be mistaken.

Yeah, if you need to install extensions to make GNOME usable, GNOME is not for you. Seriously, there are other options. I can't stand using GNOME, but they have a vision they are sticking to and I can respect that.

Recently? This is a long time coming. Users have been accepting all kinds of shit from big players without complaint. Even if they protest it's usually just performative and they keep using the services, sites and software that violates all kinds notions of user and privacy rights. Most people unfortunately are (understandably) not equipped to really even understand the kind of shady shit these companies pull on the daily. The internet is going to shit and its users will gobble it up and ask for more. It has been frustrating watching this happen, but there's really very little that can be done.
