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.

Man, that sad, defeated face in the wolf. The title made me think it was just torture and I assumed he got saved. But the fucker killed it. He deserves every shit he gets.

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 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.

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?

ikr? these news come out every month.

I hope they did and start driving down costs but if it isn’t mass produced and easily accessible, the news means fuck all for everyone but the CCP.

man reads few comments on the internet.

Redirector works perfectly on Android.

Advertising privacy does fuck all when Apple has been allowing the government to read push notifications. Where does that promise fit in, while they knowingly supply what the government wants and then still market itself as a privacy friendly company?

If people aren’t savvy enough to bypass the TPM requirement, I don’t see them being savvy enough to install a whole new OS on their system.

They kinda have to make some bold claims to stay relevant as Apple Vision might bankrupt them into oblivion when it releases.

That’s HUGE if true. The pricing will also be an interesting factor.

Usually that means the instance serving the video might be having a problem. You can use a different one from the settings but that gets cumbersome. It really needs to show the instances in the video UI.

Afaik KMPlayer on Android uses libVLC, so it’s still just a wrapper of VLCs player library.

for the insanely rich people with little regards for human rights and encourage slavery. I don’t mind…

Hmm… does that mean their plan to secede from the regular internet isn’t working out so well?
