Can I just say: hats off to the bug archaeology you’ve done there :)

Heh yes, but for the purposes of this post I wanted to focus on why it wasn’t just another distro recommendation, but one tailored specific to their use case :) (I don’t even use Kinoite myself, so it’s extra genuine.)

If you do a reinstall, I’d recommend going with a Kinoite install. It’s like regular Fedora KDE, except that it avoids this risk of traces of past experiments everywhere.

Ah OK, so it just feels like Windows Recall if we assume it’s going to become Windows Recall in the future…

And that’s a 2/3 majority of seats, right? Not votes, not popular support.

thelibre.news is woefully underappreciated.

Huh? The article says:

it is generated locally, on your device

Did I misread something?

(Agreed that this should be the norm and not luck.)

Except without the shitty parts where it keeps a log of everything you do and sends it off your device, luckily.

Oh ha! I completely misinterpreted your comment, sorry about that 😆

Isn’t this article literally about Von der Leyen using it as a bargaining chip?

Ah and they get to do the thing with their hands of course, so that’s neat.

People actually going the extra mile. What a magical time to be alive.

Of course, there’s also a reason Walmart’s the only store around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-e_yhEzIw

Wait what why

Other way around - the lion on yellow is Flanders (Dutch-speaking part of Belgium), the rooster is Wallonia (French-speaking part of Belgium).

Same about the English one.

I didn’t say it was exactly the same as FF

Yeah I know you didn’t, but we’re in a comment thread that started with

It’s otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience

That’s why I responded to check whether it doesn’t change a bunch of stuff as well that might catch people off-guard if they expected the same experience.

Protesting against the actions of your fellow voters is not a protest against democracy - it’s asking them to vote differently. Protesting against their right to vote is protesting against democracy.

I mean, that’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s easy to turn off if you know that and what you need to turn off. Literally on this same page there’s someone mentioning they keep getting logged out, which is because Librewolf clears cookies on exit - which of course was completely reasonable for them not to know. So it feels like “it’s exactly the same as Firefox” is setting the wrong expectations.

Not really, and the reason is that everyone disagrees on what “Mozilla’s BS” is - e.g. some say not enabling full protection is BS. Some say it’s fine for Mozilla to know what hardware Firefox crashes most on, some say it’s none of its business.

But honestly, it’s possible to disable almost everything you don’t like in Firefox, and it’s usually just a toggle. So I think the easiest option is to just do that whenever you run into something you don’t like. The alternative is doing it the other way around, i.e. starting with e.g. Librewolf and then undoing their tweaks if you don’t like them, but it’s harder to know what tweak is responsible for breaking a website you use, for example.
