I don't think she needs to go down to his level. They should be responding to her, not the other way around. She should focus on policy and what will be good with her as president.

He wants attention. It is his oxygen. Do not give him it.

And it can be turned off.

This is the bargaining stage of the five stages of grief.

Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome.

Firefox works for nearly everything. The only stuff that doesn't work for me is Xitter embeds, and this is a gift that keeps on giving.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

So for a little bit until people stop caring.

Firefox is the correct play here.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

Yes, but until we have them, Firefox is the best option.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago

For now. They could default to yahoo and make money. Maybe not as much, but they could sustain browser development.

Firefox is still far superior to chromium.

I prefer flawed but trying guys to guys with zero morals that farm every ounce of data they can.

First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech "absolutists"/racists). It's why academia tell you its a poor reference and to not bother.

Can you find a UK example that you think overstepped the line?

I'm in the UK, critical of Israel and not been arrested yet...

It's always interesting seeing distrorted American views of the UK.

[-] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

No you cannot. Assuming you're not from the UK.

Stirring up racial hatred and geeing people up to burn down hotels holding refugees is not free speech.

It's unfortunate they couldn't use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
