If you dislike the state of Firefox, please recognize that part of the way it got there was by becoming dependent on the gravy train from Google.

It will still be years before it’s usable, but one thing you could consider is to help fund https://servo.org — it’s a fully independent rendering engine with some really great next-generation tech that is going to make the web a more secure, and a very large % of its contributor base comes from a worker cooperative’s members who happen to be some of the finest minds in browser technology.

The project is flourishing, and you can help it continue to chug along and even accelerate. There’s no telling if it’ll definitely become a full alternative to the current triad of chrome/safari/firefox, but we won’t find out if we don’t try. The future is what we make it.

How my Firefox became a LibreWolf

#firefox #librewolf #tos #webcomic

The frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org Desktop is a powerhouse that gives Apple’s Mac Studio a run for its money at half the price. But it has also created confusion over the soldered down APU and memory. Here’s why we think this device is different, a thread:

They think we sniff glue lol

Buone notizie per chi sta pensano a cambiare firefox:

LIBREWOLF SBARCA SU MASTODON!

Mentre proton abbandona mastodon, il browser privacy-first sceglie la libertà:

librewolf@chaos.social

Perché sceglierlo? Perché è:

✅ Fork indipendente di #Firefox

✅ Anti-tracciamento integrato con modifiche pro-privacy già implementate

✅ Senza telemetrie o servizi proprietari

Un progetto FOSS che non segue le orme dei big tech, ma le cancella.

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.


Vanilla Invidious currently doesn’t work well,


so most hosters paused and/or gave up.


Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,


with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,


here’s the source code if you’re interested:


git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious


I’ve got big respect for Fijxu,


he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.


If you can please consider:



Donating for their work/hosting
Hosting their fork on your own
Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork

All the above can help Fijxu,


since currently he’s mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.

I really liked the Hated One's new video on the UK being a surveillance dystopia, but his insistence that "selfhosting isn't a solution, you'll get hacked!" felt really dumb.

I understand the point that your average hobbyist doesn't actually have the time to properly secure everything, but there's a huge difference between running dozens of services and using mostly offline-first software.

The answer definitely is self-hosting in some form, telling people to install Signal and use Tor does nothing other than shift the burden of effort. As far as I'm concerned the ideal solution is to address the problems with self-hosting and how the software ecosystem unnecessarily introduces vulnerabilities.

I recently learned that the Italian government is only allowed to buy proprietary software after it has determined that there isn't a free software option. IIUC they're also required to publish any code they write (or commission to be written) under a free license.

However, at least as far as I know Windows, Office, et al are being used everywhere in public administration, and even e.g. public transport apps are proprietary. What gives?

omg they finally made vertical tabs an official feature
