It’s exactly what a sitcom is supposed to be. Light watching that’s generally funny. Also if you miss an episode or two here and there it’s easy enough to pick up what’s going on.
I love shows like that, after a long day of mentally draining work. I don’t want to think, I just want to drink a beer and zone out. Even though I’m still thinking about work lol
We can only hope. But then again, we saw how people act when it comes to those changes. They will try it for a bit but then fall right back and accept the shit they wanted to flee from.
On one hand I agree but on the other I feel like ads are a lot more trouble than a new browser to most users so that part might actually work for us. The really sad thing is that all browsers want to support all majore websites and once something like Youtube requires web DRM we basically lost because everyone will add it! :/
i switched to a chromium browser for features that have since been added to firefox. if something serious were to happen, i will gladly switch back over.
He means “if it actually happens/my shit stops working one day” he will switch.
We’ve been listening to this shit for like 2 years between Manifest V3 and this, I’ve never had a single difference in ads that entire time on Vivaldi.
It’s got baked in features that run lighter than what Firefox would be with the equivalent extensions and plugins, if it stops working then I’ll switch. Running Firefox isn’t going to stop this from happening, if and when. Only massive user backlash after implementation will solve the issue, same as when Lemmy was created.
I seriously doubt any amount of user backlash will help put the genie back in the bottle, once it’s out. And nobody is going to change to the browser that can’t access the popular site du jour that now requires WEI attestation to access. If WEI gets rolling it’ll be impossible to fight.
That said I totally understand this is almost certainly already lost. Chromium’s market share is unassailable and there’s no way we can convince enough people to swap off it until there’s nothing to swap to. It just sucks to think nothing can be done, so please forgive people like me for trying anyway.
Your version of trying is just shouting at the same group of 2000 people nonstop. Everyone here is already onboard or isn’t going to.
I highly doubt everyone is just going to go “oh damn, Brave/Vivaldi/Firefox stopped working, guess I just HAVE to download chrome now.”
Like you realize monopoly and antitrust lawsuits are a thing, right? If the ONLY option is Chrome via WEI there will be a lawsuit about fifteen minutes behind it.
It won’t be the only option, it’ll just be the only practical option because some sites will only support WEI. I see any antitrust case being rejected on those grounds, and on the grounds of other browsers choosing not to support WEI.
His words were followed by a bang from the gun as a lead bullet ripped through Ms Hutchins before landing in the shoulder of the film’s director, Joel Souza.
Blood began pouring from Ms Hutchins’ chest as she fell backward into the head electrician and Mr Souza crumpled to the ground clutching his shoulder.
The 42-year-old cinematographer uttered her last words as crew members crowded around her and a boom operator locked eyes, telling her: “Oh, that was no good.”
Mr Baldwin looked on in horror and repeatedly yelled: “What the f*** just happened,” according to the witnesses
this is literally the funniest shit I have ever heard
great job OP and to all the upvoters, you deserve to consume oxygen
You a member of a church featured on the SPLC website?
I can’t imagine anyone else trying to be this morally superior while simultaneously stating half a thousand people all deserve to die for having a different sense of humor.
What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?
But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.
12 minutes or so in, they say “as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially.” I thought “actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever”, and finished the video intending to get on with my life.
My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. “HR have proven themselves to be fools!” “I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again.” “Once again non-technical people talking out their asses.”
HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
It bugs me that people will call anything with a positive second derivative “exponentially increasing”. I can do one better: it increases busy-beaver-y! Is that fast enough for people??
Edit: Since there was some confusion in the comments about what FireDragon is, I will explain it here. FireDragon is the default browser on Garuda Linux. FireDragon is a fork of Librewolf, which is in-turn a fork of Firefox. Librewolf’s main goal is to provide the most privacy possible to its user, though it might be at the cost of some sites breaking. FireDragon is a fork of Librewolf, it reduces some of the privacy settings that Librewolf uses, in order for sites to not break, but while still retaining most of the privacy features. dr460nf1r3 the developer of FireDragon said “This fork ships saner defaults to also include regular (not paranoid 😋) users of Garuda Linux in its audience” [1] Paragraph 2, Line 6
FireDragon from my perspective is focused around Garuda Linux, so a lot of its features are designed for users of Garuda Linux in mind.
Idk, looking at the code, it doesn’t look like it does much other than preinstall some useful add-ons and also remove some search providers, among Other privacy things - it also Reskins the about page, code wise there’s really nothing different - It’s like setting privacy to higher than max.
Best to look through the code to see what it does before you use it. Just a brief skim I’ve noticed that for some reason it disables WebGL. Not sure why, it doesn’t specify a reason. It could completely break some websites.
WebGL can jeopardize your privacy on some untrusted sites by revealing your hardware specs, allowing sites to fingerprint you easier. The TOR Browser does it for the same reason.
Not sure why, it doesn’t specify a reason. It could completely break some websites.
It’s 2023 and Firefox still does not have a per-site / per-domain toggle for WebGL, so it’s on them. It stays disabled on my end, and if a site requires it I just open a temporary tab in a different profile with WebGL enabled.
FireDragon (my understanding is that FireDragon is built from LibeWolf) and LireWolf is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf (and FireDragon I assume) is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements.
I don’t use either, I use just firefox so maybe a user of FireDragon could give you more.
Edit: Take a look at Jao’s post again, he updated it with more info on FireDragon.
i also use arch and firefox/mullvad browser do take a lot longer to launch than normal. my problem could be some dependency missing (ive already got problems with video codecs i have no idea how to fix) or a broken swap partition. So, does reinstalling firefox help? and do you have a swap part? if yes, how big did yoy make it?
40 seconds? I’ve never experienced that with Firefox at all. You’re either being hyperbolic or have an ancient computer. I have a Samsung Windows 10 machine from 2015 that opens Firefox just as quickly as it opens Chrome.
40 seconds startup?! What? Should open within like 2-3 Seconds. 5 if your system RAM is maxing out.
Abou locally developed extensions, you will need to follow the specific developer directions on that. But if you code, you should’ve figured that out already. If not, you tried doing shady things, which Firefox rightfully blocked.
I also experienced this, and immediately after a reinstall, Firefox decided that it didn't like to be reinstalled and bricked my OS. I had to completely reinstall it because the boot section was nowhere to be found, and barely any data was salvageable.
So, even if Chrome is bad, I prefer to use Ungoogled Chromium or other chromium forks that don't nuke my computer than using a browser that has consistently given me extreme problems.
