What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it’s just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?
Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself “not-for-profit”).
Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.
I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.
Winblows 10 did the exact same bitlocker crap to my best friend and attorney.
That’s what I ended up doing. I don’t want any of that shit in my daily driver.
My case is the other way around. I look for software in the store, and if I can’t find it, then I install from the terminal, but I always update (and remove) from terminal. I’m a diehard Gnome user, but this will certainly make me move to something else.
Now, in flatpak’s defense, it’s great to keep browsers away from my system, as well as some other inconsequential apps that have no business integrating with my system. I like flatpak’s for these use cases. Everything else, I need my RPMs.
For example, Apple has cared about their developers as customers.
Only if by “customers” you are referring to how they constantly find new ways to fuck you over.
Guilty as charged, I owned a total of 5 jeep/Chrysler/Dodge vehicles way back when. Moved to Infiniti, then Tesla (fucking got rid of it within a year) and now I have a Chinese BYD with every telematic disabled.
Should we start a thread showing off our tinfoil hats collections? 🤣
Isuzu diesel engines are immortal, you can’t break them even if you put gasoline in them 🤣
The fact remains that, unless everyone decides to punish these companies by not buying anything from them until they change course, it’ll only keep getting worse. Show me 1 that has changed to keep their clients happy instead of the shareholders. Yes, it can change within 20 years, for the worse, as history has shown us.
That’s the easy “justification” used 99% of the time. Every single company. Fuck them all.
Unfortunately, public transportation in my country is garbage, and I’m being considerate with that word.
I used to be a rabid advocate of self hosting password managers, and was switching between Vaultwarden and KeepassXC every few months. But Proton offered a lifetime subscription to Proton Pass with unlimited Simple login aliases, and I bought it now use this exclusively.
For me it’s hit-or-miss with Nord and with Proton. As a matter of fact, works more times than not. This is on Brave browser, just to be clear.
Same here. It works flawlessly. I installed from Github via Obtainium.
All I have to say is: welcome, good luck and have fun.
Gnome. Love how it just gets out of the way and let’s me do whatever I want without interruptions.
And for all devices. Seems it’s only available for Windows. WTF?
You’re absolutely right. Chrome is the worst offender, no question about that.
I’m guessing that the requirements for a PR job with Mozilla say “removed people preferred”.
