Here’s typical Mozilla not being the all mighty savior people think of them.

User error, should’ve got an EliteBook instead of that cheaper thing. :P

The irony here is that if you’ve an HP laptop you’ll still need to download certain drivers from HP to get things to work at 100%, for instance you may get all the hardware working after running windows update but your special brightness or wtv keys won’t work unless you go into HP’s website and download a thing.

Capable developers touch whatever language is required to get a job done.

There isn’t much of a difference between writing a theme for Guthemberg and the classic editor. In fact your current theme should work just fine in Guthemberg as it just adds the extra html for the built in blocks to your posts / pages. You aren’t required to create a block based theme and split everything into blocks, that’s kind of a myth around Guthemberg.

That or you develop your theme with the features you need baked in. This is the irony of the Hugo people, they’re capable developers that can make themes but they can’t just create a simples Wordpress theme from the ground?

Yeah, everyone with a decent amount of content will just pick Wordpress and move on. It works, it’s reliable, it’s well supported and will keep running for decades at least.

I’ll have to test it. Better to have one less extension.

Interesting… I wasn’t aware of ClearURLs for uBo. How good is that? Does it really filer all tracking elements like clear URLs does?

Innovation and privacy go hand in hand here at Mozilla

As well as profits and corporate interests.

People speak very good thing about Firefox but they like to hide and avoid the shady stuff. Let me give you the un-cesored version of what Firefox really is. Firefox is better than most, no double there, but at the same time they do have some shady finances and they also do stuff like adding unique IDs to each installation.

Firefox does is a LOT of calling home. Just fire Wireshark alongside it and see how much calling home and even calling 3rd parties it does. From basic ocsp requests to calling Firefox servers and a 3rd party company that does analytics they do it all, even after disabling most stuff in Settings and config like the OP did.

I know other browsers do it as well, except for Ungoogled and because of that I’m sticking with it. I would like to avoid programs that need no snitch whenever I open them. ungoogled-chromium + ublock origin + decentraleyes + clearurls and a few others.

Now you’re free to go ahead and downvote this post as much as you would like. I’m sorry for the trouble and mental break down I may have caused by the sudden realization that Firefox isn’t as good and private after all.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. :)

“This is an isolated, ‘one-of-a-kind occurrence’ that has never before occurred with any of Google Cloud’s clients globally. This should not have happened.

I don’t believe this is what that rare, what I believe is that this was the fist time it happened to a company with enough exposure to actually have in impact and reach the media.

Either way Google’s image won’t ever recover from this and they just lost what small credibility they had on the cloud space and won’t be even considered again by any institution in the financial market - you know the people with the big money - and there’s no coming back from this.

Some might say that.

Excellent explanation, however, technically it does not constitute an “odd spot.” Rather, it represents a “100% acceptable and evident position” as it brings benefits to all stakeholders, from accounting to the CEO. Moreover, it is noteworthy that investing in services or leasing arrangements increases expenditure, resulting in reduced tax liabilities due to lower reported profits. Compounding this, the prevailing high turnover rate among CEOs diminishes incentives for making significant long-term investments.

In certain instances, there is also plain corruption. This occurs when a supplier offering services such as computer and server leasing or software, as well as company car rentals, is owned by a friend or family member of a C-level executive.

And that was when I learnt the fediverse wasn’t as good as everyone says. Thank :)

I’m still yet to understand how that federation between Lemmy and Mastodon works because I don’t seem able to follow stuff from Mastodon on Lemmy and comment…

Let’s forget about the inequality situation that was created here, even though it was mostly created by his choices of accepting the “new terms” and wanting to launch the AltStore.

Do you like to have a phone where you’re forced into having just the Apple App Store? You don’t, you want freedom to choose whatever App Store you would like to use.

This is exactly the same, instead of just making Delta available on the EU Stores for a price (in order to cover the CTF tax) he decided to restrict it to his single store.

This is just like the iPhone (lack of) storage and the (lack of) SD cards. Apple is trying to maximize profits by using less RAM and by forcing people into buying more hardware in a few years. Apple does a lot of stuff very well but then they also pull this crap.

I don’t get the special treatment for US users. But okay.

I really hope that RetroArch (that is actually done by decent people) get’s released in the stores soon and Delta / Testut fades away.
