It will be exciting to see Kamala and Trump debate whether Gecko or Blink should be the industry leader.

[Richard Stallman] usually does not browse the web directly from his personal computer. Instead, he uses GNU Womb’s grab-url-from-mail utility, an email-based proxy which downloads the webpage content and then emails it to the user.
If you’re not doing this you’re not properly paranoid.
Aw yeah, I also love browsing the internet on meth!
I refuse to accept that there is nothing we can do about it.
I don’t think you quite understand just how stupendous the amount of data Google processes from YouTube alone is. There is basically no way for hobbyists to provide an equivalent service. Very few companies have those kinds of resources. If you want, you can of course try running a PeerTube instance, but you rather quickly run in to problems with scaling.
I find it almost miraculous YouTube exists to begin with. It is no accident Google has very few competitors on that front, and I don’t think YouTube is even profitable for them. Without Google’s deep pockets and interest in monopolizing the market, YouTube would have withered a long time ago.
Trust me, I want a solution too. But 500 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute. All of that is processed, re-encoded, and saved with multiple bitrates. You can’t compete with that. YouTube might eventually keel over from Enshittification and its own impossibility, but replacing it with anything meaningful will be a challenge.
I’m on Tumbleweed and there are issues. As I understand, Slowroll is unaffected, though I can’t guarantee that.
I was hit by (what I assume is) a recent catastrophic Mesa update on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I’m mostly fine, experiencing some issues with cursors and the Yast window is all black. It’s also affecting Wine and some installers are broken. Now I’m just waiting for Mesa to update since I’m mostly fine and nothing critical is broken for me. I think this is the first actually major issue I’ve had on openSUSE.
It’s ok, I prefer my colon without Open Sores.
I’m on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I’m not quite satisfied, but I think it’s a “me” problem. The distro is fine. It’s great! It has practically all the things I was looking for in a distro when I came back to Linux. I have had no major issues that I can recall and updates have never broken anything. The only small nag I have is that Zypper sometimes wants to install patterns that I never installed to begin with when updating, but there are ways around that. I’m just annoyed that that’s the default behavior.
But I’m not happy. I’m constantly weighing my options and thinking of different distros/DEs and I don’t know why. The current setup serves me wonderfully but it’s not perfect, what ever that means. I think I’m looking for a combination of attributes that doesn’t exist, possibly can’t exist. TW and maybe Debian sid get the closest and I try to tell myself that’s good enough, but there’s always this feeling of dissatisfaction I can’t quite shake and it’s annoying.
On my phone I run postmarketOS and on my Raspberry Pi I have Raspbian and those are great.
They were, but as I understand they are once again independent. I’d still rather stick with Librewolf, but I’m glad there are options.
The last time I remember Firefox having serious memory leaks they called it Firebird. Guess I’ve been lucky. Or in a comfortable ignorant haze.
UK is still a member of the Council of Europe and ECHR. It’s confusing, but those are distinct from EU, which the UK is not a member of anymore.

I hate the future. We were promised hoverboards and instead we have this. Fuck the future.
Well thanks a lot, now I’m sad.
Absolutely not.
Check out Posteo. It’s affordable and focuses on privacy.
Rest in peace Terry, you crazy diamond!
Okey, it’s like this: You and youtube both generate two keys, public and private. Public keys are public, anyone can see them. Doesn’t matter. When you send a message to youtube, you encrypt it with their public key. Now, the trick is, the encryption is asymmetric, which means that the message can only be decoded if you also know the private key, which you never send anyone but keep hidden. Right? This way, as long as your private key is secure, you can not realistically decode the encryption from outside just knowing the public key. Thus setting up a secure connection is just an exchange of public keys.
This is more or less how I understand it.
I’m sorry, but that’s private.
