Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site's not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn't help. Most work with microsoft edge, but i don't know if the others worked with edge before.

Does somenone have info on that or experienced the same problem? I'm not sure is it just a coincidence or does the update cause the problems.

Edit:

I found a workaround for some. First i set the cookie block from "all cookies" to "all cross-site cookies", then i allowed via STRG+i to set cookies for the refreshed page. Then i set the cookie block back again.

I assume cloudflare changed the address for some of their cookies which got blocked by ff.

The only one still not working (so far) is suprfit.com. It's not a big shop, their software might produce their own shenanigans. I'll shoot them a mail later.

Edit2:

suprfit.com works now too. Whatever it was got fixed.

A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

In May, the Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history of the firm.

The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.

Both will blow a lot of dirt and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. What about solar panels or a windmill?

After her victory this past Saturday, the 22-year-old model – who will represent her country at the 72nd annual Miss Universe Pageant in El Salvador – has set out to be the example that she never had during her childhood. ‘We’re in 2023, it’s time to normalize this’

Interesting tidbits:

The risk, explains Yuste, is that the same tools which – in medicine – can help improve people’s lives, can also end up violating the information stored in the brain. “Although the roadmap is beneficial, these technologies are neutral and can be used for better or worse,” he notes. This isn’t only about securing personal data, such as shopping habits, a home address, or which political party one supports – it also involves things as intimate as memories and thoughts. And, in the not so distant future, even the subconscious.

Would it be of any use to you, if i sent you the answers via e-mail? I prefer not to tell google all that private stuff.

Edit: spelling

We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

Exactly my thoughts on this topic.

Assuming the surprised people even read the guidelines.

Some are run or overrun by those kind of people. Have a look at how many instances are already defederated: https://beehaw.org/instances

[-] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 25 points 1 year ago

By that line of reasoning all alt-right, homophobe, harassing, doxxing, trolling etc. instances should be allowed to access every other instance to spread their hate. Is that really what you want? I don't.

Can someone tell me how reputable gazette.com is?

[-] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Sounds more like you are tired of poorly trained dogs and their incompetent owners. Unfortunatly there are many of the latter.

I've seen a lot of toxic crap upvoted on reddit. Personally i prefer moderation over public vote any day.

I really appreciate your efforts to create and maintain a safe space and take the effort to communicate your reasonings so thoroughly.
