I would love to get those but as shorts

If it wasn't a joke, perhaps it might actually get them somewhere at this point

soulfirethewolf ,

Chromium is still open source. And it can still be deviated from. Different for the sake of being different seems ridiculous.

I don't hate copilot but I seldom use it enough to justify having a taskbar button for it

And this is probably where Google makes a lot of its ad money

    Honestly, as long as it connects wirelessly and can quickly switch between devices in a single click, I'm fine. I mainly own the pixel buds pro

    I hope Mastodon will incorporate this

    Suits the brand just right given how many edges they've sanded off the software

    Lol why even download a Bible app when you could get an ePUB?

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Personally with XMPP, I think it's right now because of the lack of decent looking clients (especially on iOS), as well as a lot of the same friction that people have suffered with mastodon.

    Also, Signal is built towards a completely different audience that places privacy first over modern messaging features (things like API's, sending messages through voice assistants, etc.). And for SimpleX, I'm not really sure if sharing a QR code/link with someone else is the best route to go in UX just to message a friend

    Is the Fediverse truly decentralized? Not exactly. (blog.benjojo.co.uk)

    The author examined the distribution of instances in the fediverse. Given that many instances are hidden behind CDNs like Cloudflare or Fastly, the author employed ActivityPub's functionality to discover the actual hosting locations of servers. More than half (51%) of the fediverse is hosted within a single hosting company. The...

    soulfirethewolf ,

    I always feel like whenever someone complains about fedi not being fully decentralized because they perceived too many instances as being held under a single place, they miss the point a little bit in terms of prioritizing infrastructure over user governance.

    Aside from the potential disasters happening at them, it just really doesn't feel like a problem if most people are hosting an instance on a popular cloud platform. These are companies that are just providing infrastructure, and as long as you aren't trying to abuse their network or spread anything that they consider to be harmful, they won't really care.

    Instances operated under Home and business ISPs aren't particularly immune to this either. And can still cut off an instance if they decide to.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Yeah, but I think that most of the clients are a bit dated in UX otherwise. There isn't really anything that I could suggest a friend to use

    soulfirethewolf ,

    It's not like everyone has a choice in the say. Given that many schools and workplaces rely on Google for something

    Plot twist: they're bisexual

    It just seems like activitypub being used the way it was intended to.

    Also, this seems to be owned by a UK registered charity. So I'm not sure what exactly is meant by corporate dredging.

    Although Talk to a Live Rep is similar to the Pixel’s “Hold for Me” feature, Google says there are some differences, noting that while some of the underlying technology is the same, Talk to a Live Rep goes one step further.

    The goal is to change the norm, Fernyhough said, so that when children come to the end of primary school, the class “bands together and says, ‘Let’s all delay until at least 14.’

    Yeah right that's going to happen: p

    soulfirethewolf ,

    They can live their childhood as they should do, focus on their learning and enjoy the real world without having to spend their life scrolling, which we all know is not good for them

    Older people forget that the norm of childhood has changed. And assume that children should do the same things they did instead of learning how to moderate what they do

    Well you're in luck, there's the Pleroma and Misskey family of apps out there that are ActivityPub compatible. Pleroma also has Akkoma as well, and there are far too many Misskey forks to count. Both of them support S3 I believe.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Can't wait to go look at the fish pond :3

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Mozilla isn't committing to manifest V2, they're just making changes to V3 that are different than what's specified for the sake of compatibility with what people want. They still intend on migration.

    Also, microsoft edge is getting extensions as well real soon

    Finally, while this is a more personal opinion, the AI integrations that Mozilla has been working on (including some of the work on large language models) is isn't particularly contributive to the Mozilla manifesto and doesn't have much to do with the web itself. It's simply seeking something out because of hype

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Oh yay another model I can't run on my computer :'(

    I use it sometimes, there can be a bit of drama at times, but it's pretty nice.

    I have no idea what you mean by stack, but you definitely don't deserve downvotes for this. You can use whatever you want.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    The clickbait in this article is so bad, I thought it was a security vulnerability or something, but it's just something else related to Mozilla again.

    I'm still genuinely curious if Mozilla is going to actually accept a renewal for the search deal with Google, or if they're actually going to start practicing with a praise and try implementing that search engine selection screen.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    You can, but that's not the point. The idea is to ask users to choose upon opening the app for the first time. It's an already common statistic that most people never actually change any settings beyond basic personalization. It's part of why Google spends so much money on setting Google Search as the default engine.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Ummm... No?

    Because Mozilla really doesn't care about what people think anymore. They're an incredibly bureaucratic group dealing with a lot of red tape placed as a force for good that doesn't always meet the mark. It's mainly the reason Firefox doesn't have a lot of things (that it honestly should have)

    Also, Firefox is a completely original browser but it doesn't have a "chromium" version the browser like Google Chrome does. Both of the Firefox commercial product and the source code compile to the same thing.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Free apps were already pretty unsustainable in iOS to begin with given the $99 yearly developer fee :/

    soulfirethewolf ,

    It would also require that social media sites use "reasonable age verification methods" to verify users' ages.

    Please no :/

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Honestly, it doesn't surprise nor please me that they're looking exclusively for the corporations with the large amounts of money capable of running a full system, as opposed to the random Joe down the street running an f-droid repository.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Isn't this what everyone wanted though? The freedom to choose browsers? Or are we going to start mandating Gecko because that's what everyone here believes to be the most ethical?

    soulfirethewolf ,

    This honestly feels like some 3-month early April fool's joke. A smartphone more dependent on an external set of servers than what Google already has.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    Firefox now supports creating and using passkeys stored in the iCloud Keychain on macOS.

    Hopefully next it will get the ability to send push notifications to use passkeys on other devices like in chromium browsers

    soulfirethewolf ,

    That's not my problem personally. It's that they're wasting time on stuff like this when they could be spending it on enhancing their browser in other ways

    soulfirethewolf ,

    I really think that on the list of worst single points of failure, DNS is not one of them. Given how easy it is to actually switch. And given that cloudflare outages are not nearly as common, The times they do happen usually are only for half an hour or so.

    soulfirethewolf ,

    These are so easy to root, I dont know why not everybody does it.

    Probably because not everyone has a valid reason to root. What about people who use GrapheneOS? Rooting does involve valid security risks that doesn't make it suitable for every single person.
