I found it really good, it’s just that not everyone will get it. Now you know! :)

About that, how do we get good search results from Lemmy? I feel like the most important thing to me is finding info through google searches

azalty , 2 months ago

Yea it’s mainly those that do the work actually

Not really anymore for Mozilla. They now get a lot of your private data and share em with their “business partners”

Aren’t most lists available on other browsers and ad blockers? Unless Raymond created the format

I believe a lot of info I got was from this video but it’s been a while so I’m not too sure: youtu.be/ugnOM2mzgNU

Also yea Firefox sends a lot of telemetry data and stuff, even if you disable the option in the menu. You have to go to the developer mode to remove all of it. Check “hardened Firefox”. If there is an hardened Firefox, then there is a non-hardened Firefox.

And then there are all the contracts and calls to Google’s server, for example for geolocation and stuff

And if you want the ultimate proof, everything is in their privacy policy www.mozilla.org/fr/privacy/firefox/ - just see how much data they collect, use and share, for better or for worse.

Did you forget about geolocation?

Mozilla’s websites are full of trackers too, and they are largely funded by Google. How can you protect privacy when your biggest customer gains money by tracking? Seems like a clear conflict of interest.

And it’s not a bit of telemetry data, it’s literally your entire computer config, number of tabs open, duration… they claim not to log IPs, but can you really trust them? The point is you’re constantly pinging with your IP to their servers for useless reasons. They literally sell your data by sharing it to their “business partners”.

They also send the url of all files you download to Google by default. Great. That’s privacy!

(The video also gives some good points)

Everything they recently added is pure bullshit and useless stuff. Just watch the video I linked, it says everything you want to hear. With all the data shared to their partners, I guess it’s relatively easy to fingerprint you, depending on how they do it. And cmon about the servers, I never go to their website, I only cost money because of the shit ton of data they retrieve. An update ping from time to time and an update twice a month can’t possibly cost 5 million dollars.

They don’t have anything to spend money on, the browser is pretty much full of features. The only thing to do is make it faster and check for security issues.

At least on Brave you can opt out of this bullshit

sorry if I missed something I’m high as fuck

Nice

firefox is an opensource software where literally anyone can view the source code and check themselves what is actually sent. you argument all you want with the “but can youn trust them?” but literally anyone esle except some guy on youtube didn’t feel like complaining about firefox

As if people actually did that. I bet serverside code isn’t open source

Didn’t know google did shady things with our mail, but yea I shouldn’t be surprised

Good news, that’s one point where the EU takes good decisions. Sadly, fight against privacy in terms of anti money laundering rules and similar

Proton is also a bit shady about their marketing and aren’t really transparent about governments asking for data. It’s also really really expensive for what it is.

azalty , 2 months ago

Proton has a free plan as well

Not all countries will comply, and not all will require you to stay silent

Yea but from time to time, it’ll just break the entire site. I had a case where for some reason one of the ublock filters removed divs named “privacy” so the whole privacy policy page dissapeared. Happened on a website I was developing and didn’t understand what was happening.

I think I had this happen on tuta’s website as well

That’s why the 24h format is great, but yea it’s just about being used to it

Unity casually destroying the trust between them and their devs

I’m sure they’ll find a way to sell their components at full price just like what they do right now. They’ll surely keep their DRMs in place and prevent repairs with other components.

If they support it, it is because they modified it enough so that they benefit from it.

Steam really needs their 30% cut, good you’re here to provide it to them

New reddit is better than old reddit shit that looks like it’s from 2005, at least for me

azalty , 11 months ago

In general, old UI means shitty or non-existent password hashing, rather than “reputable”.

And I don’t see how you can compare something that has a modern UI with instagram. Is that the only modern UI app you use? I don’t even have instagram.

And so yea I use Memmy for Lemmy cuz the website just has bad ergonomics for mobile. Boo boo Apollo be like TikTok hehe cringe

I mean, seriously…

azalty , 11 months ago

I mean I have indeed bad tastes and I suck at design so x)

Agree to disagree on the UI, after all it’s personal tastes.

azalty , 11 months ago

Apart from the tracking part, I’m all for modern UI, we just have different tastes :)

Have a good day ❤️

I guess dynamic web pages and PHP don’t exist

Damn, didn’t know that, thanks for sharing!

They want people to start using YT Premium while slowly blocking ad-blockers, but they increase the subscription price… what?

azalty , 11 months ago

I don’t get the hate on google, yea sure they use your data and all, but most of their services are free and work really good

People pay for spotify and all, while YT hosts tons of videos which need a lot of space + bandwith, and doesn’t really block ad-blockers

azalty , 11 months ago

I prefer not supporting the Turkish economy

azalty , 11 months ago

idk if it’s laziness, people just get used to the service

But I don’t get why they want to do that, I feel like no-one uses YT Premium and they should reduce the price instead to get more users

azalty , 11 months ago

Most people know and use YT, I don’t think that’s an ad haha, just news about a well known and used platform

azalty , 11 months ago

“We must adjust YT Premium’s price to get more users”

“I’m on it boss!” Price increase.

azalty , 11 months ago

If you had to cancel your Netflix sub, you probably wouldn’t have paid for YT Premium, it’s a lot less worth it than Netflix imo

azalty , 11 months ago

yea, it also lowers creators’ revenues

YT should really make a user-centric revenue system if that’s not already the case, or advertise more and be more transparent about it, it might get people to change their mind

I started whitelisting some YT channels to give ad revenue to them, but since I didn’t know if they did get money or not, I stopped.

azalty , 11 months ago

can’t YT Music be bought separately for a bit cheaper?

azalty , 11 months ago

That a bold strategy to say the least

azalty , 11 months ago

Ahhh… javascript…
