This thread got removed where it listed all of the things reddit collects, but we shouldn’t get complacent here either. We need to check our instances.
Some of the instances do this here. This is not a 100% haven. It’s great and waaaay better, but still, check into your instances, Lemmies.
I’m trying out 3 different browsers atm and I think I’ll just keep all 3 and cycle though or use at different privacy settings. I will miss Firefox and not having to think about my browser. Can’t wait to watch all 3 go to shit as well.
Librewolf seems exactly the same, but it breaks Lemmy for me. It’s probably a setting I didn’t know to turn off.
It’s likely the resist fingerprinting option. It breaks many websites or those that use bot checking thing.
I’ll try some testing around those features.
use truly foss apps. Anything that’s has a corp built around it is going to enshitify
Self-hosting and FOSS are the way to go. We saw this demonstrated when Raspberry Pi started acting stupidly as a company. There are so many alternatives that it is easy to switch. Unfortunately some things are pretty tough to self-host, like email and anonymizing VPN. But there are a lot of low-hanging fruit that makes it less painful to divest from bad companies.
I wonder what is going to be Firefox reason to even exist if we already have Chrome and Edge?
PLENTY of reasons if they oppose enshitification… but if they embrace it, then yes, they’ll just be another pimple in the ass of enshitificated software
Fucking look at YOU Gogole… Do no evil my ass! [youwerethechosenone.gif]
constructs like companies and software come and go but the individuals, the movement that strives for freedom stays the same
What happened with Proton?
The proton CEO praised Donald Trump’s choice for who would lead the government’s antitrust division, and now most of Lemmy think they’re a Nazi company or something.
Just typical cancel culture bullshit. Where people choose to be outraged rather than attempting to understand a situation.
They doubled down by leaving federated services in favor of Reddit, which certainly isn’t a great look imo
It’s good to have some variety - after all different things get shitty in different ways.
