Privacy@lemmy.ml•Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"English
21·1 month agoYes, but they and the Tor Project are making enough changes that Mullvad Browser can be considered a hard fork rather than a soft fork.

The wheel is fundamentally broken. D-Bus is unfixable due to its core principles being terrible.

Maybe. Maybe not.
Chatgpt:
"He brings up some points that tap into how legal responsibility is often framed in terms of “user-provided content” in various platforms and tools. Let’s break down the key legal and technical considerations involved in displaying user-supplied lyrics files in a music player app like Kew:
#188. Diabolical. The feature was added later anyway, but still.

6·2 months agoTheir dataset being MIT Licensed is a good thing, thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t think they would release it under a real OSS license. I guess contributing this way is a-okay, even though I would personally refer from giving FUTO any more attention.

I would recommend not touching Firejail unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing, as it can (and probably will) worsen security.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Password Manager RecommendationsEnglish
5·3 months agoBuilt-in password managers in software like browsers and operating systems are sometimes not as good as dedicated password manager software. The advantage of a built-in password manager is good integration with the software, but it can often be very simple and lack privacy and security features that standalone offerings have.
For example, the password manager in Microsoft Edge doesn’t offer end-to-end encryption at all. Google’s password manager has optional E2EE, and Apple’s offers E2EE by default.

Why is the built-in password manager disabled?
Use a external password manager, it’s more secure.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can't we have a static vintage web?English
23·3 months agoThe 512KB Club is a collection of performance-focused web pages from across the Internet. To qualify your website must satisfy both of the following requirements:
- It must be an actual site that contains a reasonable amount of information, not just a couple of links on a page (more info here).
- Your total UNCOMPRESSED web resources must not exceed 512KB.

(The site’s certificate has expired. I really hope they fix it.)They did.Gemini is a group of technologies similar to the ones that lie behind your familiar web browser. Using Gemini, you can explore an online collection of written documents which can link to other written documents. The main difference is that Gemini approaches this task with a strong philosophy of “keep it simple” and “less is enough”.
Gemini might be of interest to you if you:
- Are sick and tired of nagging newsletter subscription pop-ups, obnoxious adverts, autoplaying videos that chase you as you scroll and other misfeatures of the modern web

395·4 months agoI encourage you to purchase a FUTO license: it’s money well spent to encourage FUTO. They’ve really earned it.
You should stop promoting FUTO’s proprietary software. It is also against community rules.




So, basically defeating the point of RFP?
