Not partnering with trillion-dollar, people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy-destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations in c/[email protected]

@[email protected] Goodness, those Meta folks must be really foolish, huh? Looks like they’re stepping straight into our trap.

:awesome:👍

Not partnering with trillion-dollar, people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy-destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations that purport to work on ethical technology but, clearly, even that bar is just too fucking high for some.

@[email protected] I’m on 46.4 – so they likely removed that.

Is Google implemented in 47?

Ah, this is because Mozilla Location Services is dead (I guess it wasn’t AI enough). And now GNOME are considering Google – because, why not? Nothing wrong with Google, amirite?

Native support for ed25519/x25519 in the browser would be a huge step forward for in-browser/client-side cryptography. (mastodon.ar.al)
 

Native support for ed25519/x25519 in the browser would be a huge step forward for in-browser/client-side cryptography.

Looks like Google is holding up our ability to use it in production.

(Firefox and Safari both have support enabled by default.)

The latest US arms sale to Israel alone was worth $20B. There have been over 100 sales since Oct 7. (mastodon.ar.al)
 

The latest US arms sale to Israel alone was worth $20B. There have been over 100 sales since Oct 7.

That’s a lot of money, profit, and jobs.

How many American families make all or a portion of their living from the Israeli-American genocide of the Palestinian people?

Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it. in c/[email protected]

@DodoTheDev @Lokjo @librewolf @Vivaldi Yeah, although I just read that they’re using the manipulative “Maybe later” pattern in at least one of their dialogs so that would be a good thing to fix for the future (I’m using Vivaldi too as my default browser.)

The opposite of “Yes” is “No”, not “Maybe later.”

@Bro666 @[email protected] @[email protected] Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?

@Aaron @[email protected] @[email protected] Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.
