Thing is, if this takes off and websites adopt it, FF will be forced to integrate it aswell. I'd be fine with some websites not working in FF, but my mother will call me and say "the internet is broken". I guess Mozilla doesn't want and/or cannot afford that.

Yeah, but those are allies with "strong authoritarian Putin", while the lefts are still allies with communist Russia somehow. Mental gymnastics at its best.

Thank you for your write up. It's becoming harder and harder to stay up to date on all the new wannabe fascists in Europe.

I'll drop in with my thoughts on it in Germany. In Germany, the far right party is at 20% in recent opinion polls. Scary. But 60% of the potential right voters say they just vote them out of protest. It wouldn't be that hard for the other parties to turn that ship around, but I don't see anything happening. The big parties are following their utterly liberal ultra capitalist line, which of course makes people poorer, which generates a lot of displeasure in these uncertain times. People are looking for simple answers. And while "smash capitalism" would be the simple correct answer for 98% of people, sadly there is no party that propagates that. So "it's because of the immigrants, it's because of the dictators in the EU" from the right that gets fed to the people as a simple answer, and they get the vote.

But IMO, this protest vote only goes to the right because of a lack of alternatives. The problem is our left party is too busy with wokeness topics (which are important, sure, but they still just don't resonate in most people) and in fighting among themselves. So nobody votes for them as a protest as they absolutely lack any substance right now. And our left still has a "Russia problem" as they mostly emerged from the letters of eastern Germany. This is course doesn't help. So people vote for the right.

I still hope a new left party would emerge, but as long as there isn't, and as long as the big center-"left" party doesn't change course, I see the rights just getting stronger. Especially since the center rights adopt talking points from the far right, as they see it gets them votes.

Another interesting (and scary) fact is, that the several right parties in Europe formerly were totally against Europe. They still are, just not openly anymore. Now they learned that in order to destroy the EU, it's easier to get voted into it, closing ranks with all the other nationalists, and starting to dismantle it from within.

I'll just repeat what @superkret@lemmy.world said, build networks, maybe we gonna need them soon!

Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

Maybe enlighten us?

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by "killed", I mean "lost some users and content quality". They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn't affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

With my peers it's mostly just "phone" nowadays. Likely because landline phones are really rare now.

Oder so ein pseudo E-SUV, mit 25km E-Reichweite.

You are only truly anonymous if you always use a VPN or Tor. If not, Reddit has your IP and the ISP knows who is behind the IP. If LE knocks at Reddit's door with a warrant, they will give them your IP, with which they go to the ISP to get your name.

they’re an underwater welder from a specific small town and they have three sons

You would be suprised of how much less info than that is needed to ID a person. There are studies about ID'ing people via their favorites and last-watched lists on netflix.

I like it! Main issue for me is that there is not enough content on my hobbies, and "all" content is mostly filled with reddit-this and lemmy-that (or now threads) stuff, which is annoying because I don't want to talk more about the platform than actually using it. But I hope this will change with some time.

I use only the browser, UX and UI is pretty straight forward, but subscribing to communities of other instances is really weird. I need to copy the "handle" (i.e. !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml), and add it manually to my instance domain (i.e. lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml), and then I subscribe to it. I don't know if there are other ways (besides finding new communities via "all").

I'm not into the technicals of lemmy or the fediverse, but I guess this is not easily solvable, as an instance doesn't know that I am the user of another instance.

When I browse "all" on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit's r/all was so much better when nudity wasn't purged from it.

No worries, .ml is in fact the official domain of the state of Mali. It's just the interpretation of this single domain owner what he wants to stand "ml" for.
