Firefox version 126 introduces search data telemetry collection and enhanced copy without site tracking option (blog.mozilla.org)

With the latest version of Firefox for U.S. desktop users, we’re introducing a new way to measure search activity broken down into high level categories. This measure is not linked with specific individuals and is further anonymized using a technology called OHTTP to ensure it can’t be connected with user IP addresses....

Canary9341,

“You most likely would have agreed, so why bother asking for your consent?”

Canary9341,

Lawyers love that trick.

Canary9341, (edited )

Any other contract in everyday life would be invalid under these terms; consent must be affirmative and informed. “I have read and accept the terms” is a crude lie that should be illegal but is tolerated for convenience, and which allows to justify all kinds of abuses.

The mozilla case is even worse, because they’ve even bragged about how they respect affirmative consent by asking their users if they allow telemetry (they’ve never really fully complied), and about being respectful of privacy in general. They deserve to be criticized for it, and that’s what people are doing here, but your responses of “if you don’t like it go away, the competition is worse” only legitimizes bad behavior.

Canary9341,

as we’ve worked extensively to optimize performance and deliver the best possible experience on these devices.

Hard to believe.

Canary9341,

“Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.

Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.

Canary9341,

They are actually quite aggressive about blocking disposable emails, most free services don’t work. I have used protonmail a few times for semi-disposable accounts that used disposable emails to sign up, and some of them were banned later.

Canary9341,

Archinstall is not at all newbie friendly, especially compared to calamares and endeavourOS setup. Also, having a usblive is very convenient in case of problems.

If you don’t have advanced knowledge nor want to customize it very thoroughly, I don’t see any reason to use arch over endeavourOS. I mean, other than the fun of experimenting with the innards of linux, testing your frustration tolerance, and ending up being able to say “I use arch BTW”.

Canary9341,

Cool! Although I’m surprised at such overwhelming support, isn’t this a pretty conservative and authoritarian country?

Canary9341,

You gave an example where it is possible to install linux and only basic functionality is required, but what do you think happens with almost all mobile devices?

When it is not possible to change OS/ROM, or they are old, there is no alternative… apart from being stuck with an obsolete OS and apps full of known bugs. Or are you “competent” enough to develop everything yourself?

Canary9341,

So, you got banned from lemmy.world for transphobia, and you come here to do the same thing, whine and insult?

gogunlocked seems to match those requirements, but I came across it recently. Has anyone verified the site or its reputation?

Canary9341,

Thanks, too bad :-(

On the other hand another one I came across is on the whitelist, freegogpcgames; although the OP won’t like it since it uses torrent.

Canary9341,

That people choose not to identify with an adversary country was quite obvious. Ethnic and linguistic obstacles in education, celebrations, institutions, etc. are common for minorities everywhere, even within the EU.

As for media and religious censorship, it also applies to the rest of russia, typical of a dictatorship. Honestly, I expected something much worse.

Canary9341,

Perhaps having different categories with different limitations would work well. Using the firefox example, prioritize the use of WebExtensions, but keep XUL/XPCOM with appropriate warnings.

No, that is a hoax. International law revolves around proportionality and civilian security, explicitly protecting civilian medical facilities and their medical personnel. They are not invalidated according to the crimes of the other side.

In fact, this would still be a war crime even if there was a nuclear silo under the hospital. You might wish it was, but that’s not what the law says.

Canary9341,

“Losing protection” refers to the total overprotection granted by the above article, do not pretend that this grants carte blanche. The rest of international humanitarian law and other laws still apply, including the rest of the geneva convention.

That same article establishes clear limits of proportionality which they did not comply with, and even if they had complied they have violated so many others (have you read the news?). This attack is flagrantly illegal, and is one of the most moderate they have had against hospitals.

Canary9341,

Proton has free accounts, you don’t need to start with a paid one.

Flathub maintainers do not upload anything, they just write a manifest pointing to the official source and flathub does the rest. They also cannot modify it freely, approval is required.
