lemmyreader, to linux in Linux maintainers were infected for 2 years by SSH-dwelling backdoor with huge reach

Yes, indeed. After posting this I did regret it later on.

    lemmyreader, to librewolf in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

    Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

    I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.

    lemmyreader, to privacy in Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

    Many people probably won’t be bothered by these things, but I am. I don’t want to pay full price for something that I don’t truly own. I miss the familiarity. I miss the reliability. I miss feeling like it’s mine. Dependable. Trustworthy.

    Picking my old guitar up again has never looked so appealing. I think I want to go back to investing more time, money, and energy into things that aren’t connected to the internet

    Upvoted.

    Firefox ESR is like LTS. It would mean less work for LibreWolf maintainers and less upgrades for the users.

    lemmyreader, to librewolf in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

    Yes. My point was that by using Firefox ESR as base the update cycle would be much slower which I would welcome.

    I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.

    lemmyreader, to lemmy in The Ability To Mute A Post/Thread

    Muting posts and comments is possible with PieFed codeberg.org/rimu/pyfediFor Lemmy I guess you or others can check Lemmy’s GitHub issues to see whether this feature has been requested already.

    lemmyreader, to fdroid in Noice app

    A much better choice in my opinion is the newer Soothing Noise Player : f-droid.org/en/…/ie.delilahsthings.soothingloop/

    Here’s Noice in F-Droid which I stopped using after I saw it asked to make Internet connections :

    lemmyreader, to opensource in How are companies or developers supposed to make a full time living with OSI opensourced projects?

    Okay. Got a source for that ? I had the impression from the SerenityOS developer that the donations came because of the videos that Andreas is making but I could be wrong.

    lemmyreader, to foss in How do I build my own software from source?

    You can try to follow the build instructions like mentioned in another comment but be aware that you are trying to build for a platform which has as far as I can see no official support compile instructions for the software. YMMV.

    lemmyreader, to privacy in What is the cost of privacy?

    I saddens me that it feels like the multi-billion dollar data harvesting companies are winning, but I no longer know if this is a hill that I’m willing to die on.

    It is a very sad thing indeed :(

    What are your thoughts on what we have to give up in our lives just to stay in control of our personal information?

    I guess it depends whether you want to be reachable 24/7 on mobile or not.

    With Signal and with things like WhatsApp and for that matter Telegram a phone number is only required to sign up. And you do not have to restrict yourself to one phone number.

    Actually that is not correct because contacts syncing is another thing. If you are willing to have a private life without Meta and a second life which includes Meta Zuck it is technically possible. Buy a cheap smartphone with another SIM card for signing up and for syncing contacts and then link it to desktop apps that you can check a few times a day to check in with your friends via the Meta Zuck channels. The cheap smartphone can stay off unless you need to sync contacts.

    lemmyreader, to opensource in What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

    Thanks for sharing!
