It’s instance dependent.

As a side note, it’s kinda interesting how that fediverse.info tries to pretend that Lemmy isn’t a thing, all while treating WordPress like it’s the second biggest Fediverse surface and not currently trying to fuck over a bunch of users and long-term contributors.

If Google pulled out, Bing would lowball Mozilla. Yandex are untouchable given that they’re Russian and so there’s not much left.

But that’s all besides the point, removing one dependency to replace it with another doesn’t make sense, people have been clamouring for Mozilla to become self sustainable and they’re attempting to do that. The fact that people want some crazy utopia where Mozilla just replace Google’s money with donations is the problem. Though, I personally think that we as users, should be lobbying our governments and advocating for more investment in open source alternatives such as Mozilla.

Better how? There’s no right or wrong answer, I had both.

Fantastic news. Lemmy has been lucky to have such a great team behind the development and I’ve been impressed over and over by how things have been handled on the development side. Onwards and upwards!

They debunk the idea towards the end of the video. But since there’s no conclusive proof either way, they left it, technically open

It would be nice to have a bookmarklet that enabled easier cross posting.

Sorry everyone, I’m not ignoring anyone. Just had this random idea as the football started.

Better for Linux? I’m not sure I would say it is. Better for the world in general? When you compare things like power consumption, you can definitely see that in some use cases (the average user), ARM is superior. But for Linux? Maybe by default owing to the fact that it’s more modern. As for RISC-V, the core is open source and “all” the extensions are proprietary, so it’s not as open source as it pretends to be. But it’s definitely better than what we’re currently accustomed to as mainstream.

ALL generates a fair bit of traffic, but the quality of that traffic tends to be beyond shit. It would be nice to be able to set replies of posts to subscribers only.

Holy fuck! What an epic post. Top tier!

I found it amusing to read some people tagging Vivaldi on Mastodon to “double down on their privacy values” and then found this hidden deep in the menu system. Of all the Chromium based browsers, Vivaldi is my favourite, but it’s clear they’re not even trying to improve the surveillance advertising situation, they’re just opening the back door for their friends.

And regarding Vivaldi…

Just for the record, Brave have their version of PPA too: https://ads-help.brave.com/

Not a fan, but it’s merged already, so meh.

What I mean as beforehand is before it lands in nightly. If the Figma links weren’t locked down, people would’ve said it’s a shit idea before the first patch was even written.

I can also assure you that Firefox is a passion for many of the people who work on it. Some of them are pretty active on Mastodon, too.

You’re probably right, but it feels like there’s a lot more Google and Apple rejects than people that have the aspiration to make Firefox the best browser the world has ever seen. Admittedly, that’s subjective.

Anyway, I want to thank you, though I gave you a stupid-hard time, I did enjoy our conversation and I’m glad we found middle ground.

I enjoy using Nightly. I enjoy testing things and shaping the future of Firefox. My issue however, is that of late, a bunch of people have infiltrated Mozilla and kneecapped community contribution, even so far as that, when something like this was brought up around Firefox 4, it was discussed prior to landing.

Just to be clear, I have no issue with this feature in itself, I have an issue with the lack of option to toggle it off. More so, because I believe anyone that had to use Firefox Nightly for Android as their only browser for 48 hours wouldn’t be okay with this.

It’s indicative of the broader problems. American adults have an Apple fetish and think everything should walk, talk and act like iOS, however the rest of the world prefers Android (for a myriad of reasons, cost being high on the list) and they can’t work out why. It’s funny because even tech YouTubers prefer Android, even though they generally walk with both. But these people that eat and sleep iOS, are making decisions about products they don’t use and it’s annoying and frustrating. Yes, Mozilla and Firefox are a job, but with the right community liaison, they can actually recruit people for whom Firefox is also a passion.

Finally! Thank you for that. It’s a shame we let it come to this, as elsewhere in this post, we’re arguing on the same side and that’s the side of reason.

Regarding the URL bar. There’s a bunch to be honest. Most of which don’t affect the average user, but that’s why it should be an about:config option at the very least.

The ones that affects me most, is that as a self-hoster, I have a bunch of services at localdomain.local:port and they all differ. This change only shows the same URL for each.

Even when I’m in GitHub, I have to scroll to the top of the page just to see what repository I’m in.

There are also some security implications raised here

I believe you made an innocent mistake when you confused the term ‘landed’ with the term ‘shipped’. Since then, we’re just wasting time while you dance around admitting you’re wrong to protect your ego on the Internet.
