  • I was going to comment that this looks more like ffxiv than skyrim, and expose the boomer who made this meme that can't tell the difference between two extremely popular games.

    Although I've never played ffxiv so I don't actually know if that's what this is, and I didn't play enough skyrim to be able to identify those wall/ground textures.

  • This is the only positive thing in the Trump administration so far. I was worried that they were going to de-fang the FTC and DOJ's antitrust efforts and just start handing out slaps on the wrist again, but nope. It seems they're going ahead with the Biden-era aggressiveness, which is awesome.

    Of course, they'll never touch Musk's companies, and it remains to be seen if Microsoft/Google/etc will be able to bribe Trump for a settlement. But at least it's a glimmer of hope in the otherwise onslaught of depressing news.

  • Doctors warn of rise in nail glue mistaken for eye drops

    Jump

  • When I was a kid, like ~6 years old, I walked into my parent's room and saw a little bottle of eye drops on the night stand. I guess I was curious, but for some reason I decided to apply them to my eyes.

    The bottle was harder to squeeze than I expected, but when a tiny drop finally came out I missed my eye and got it on the edge of my eyelid. Turns out it was superglue and not eye drops. Luckily, it was such as small amount that I was able to wash it off and pretend like it never happened.

    I still don't know why some super glue bottles look so similar to eye drops.

  • The amount of raw, undiluted satisfaction that would come from watching Musk's fortune disappear would probably be enough to tide me over for the rest of the Trump presidency. I could be sent to a concentration camp slaving away somewhere manufacturing MAGA merch, and I'd still have a smile on my face knowing Elon went broke.

  • JD Vance says he and his daughter, 3, were confronted by pro-Ukraine protesters

    Jump

  • So Vance just so happened to be "walking his daughter" near a group of Ukrainian protestors? The secret service didn't have the capability to look down the street he wanted to walk down and say "maybe we should take another route"?

    Or did he purposely take his young daughter near a polite-looking group of protestors just so he could have a low-risk confrontation as fuel to demonize his detractors online?

  • Over 250,000 Americans Urge Congress to Begin Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump

    Jump

  • Last time, he was out of office, so it was a little gray. This time they don't have that excuse.

    But they also aren't going to convince the Republicans to go along with it this time either, and even if they do, we're still stuck with Vance, another anti-democracy turd.

  • This is FUD. It definitely is not a "critical" security feature. Firefox flatpak can't currently do its own internal sandboxing of subprocesses via namespaces, but it does do seccomp bpf filtering. That's in addition to the standard sandboxing of flatpak itself, which is implemented using namespaces anyways.

    If you are extra paranoid, you can tweak the flatpak's permissions to harden the sandboxing via your distro's flatpak settings app.

  • Elon Musk calls Social Security ‘the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time’

    Jump

  • Joe Rogan is watched mostly by young people, many of which are also too young to realize that cutting social security means they're going to spend a good chunk of their adult life taking care of their parents until they die. That means paying for their housing or living facility, or having them live with you.

    Reaching these young people to get this across to them is the tricky part.

  • Flatpaks are containerized, making them both more reliable and more secure (in general... but it's always possible to fuck things up).

    Besides the benefits to users, there are also huge benefits to developers: they can publish a single package and support nearly every distro with it.

    It's often impossible for a dev to publish and maintain packages for all Linux distros out there, so stuff on AUR is built and packaged by well-meaning, but random people who are not the original developer. This very often leads to the app having bugs and compatibility issues which the developer ends up wasting time debugging and trying to fix even though it's not their fault. (although downstream packagers can fuck this up too by publishing their own unofficial Flatpaks, like Fedora's recent OBS shenanigans)

  • Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

    Jump

  • I think it'd be less creepy if there was an easily accessible public dashboard displaying this telemetry. E.g. like counters showing how many people hide the bookmark bar. If you can instantly see what data your browser is sending in an easily digestible format (ie not a dump of JSON in a submenu), it's easier to gain a quick understanding of the benefits vs minimal privacy tradeoffs.

    But it really depends on trust: trust that they're not collecting more than they claim, and trust that the data is properly anonymized. Mozilla has lost that trust.

  • Assessing new allegations that Trump was recruited by the KGB

    Jump

  • Why would he need to hide anything?

    Because if it got out, he would likely have the rest of the federal government turn on him, even the MAGA republicans. They're driven by witch hunts against conspiracy theories and "deep state" nonsense, but now that they're in power it's hard to keep pretending like the government is hiding shit when you're literally the government.

    But Trump is a puppet for Putin, America's longest enemy? That's a juicy fucking conspiracy right there, and if they can sell it to their constituents, it'd be an easy path to political dominance for any republican who pulls it off. (hopefully it's not MTG)

  • I don't get your point, are you saying that using LibreWolf will still send your personal data to Mozilla? A privacy hardened config should be enough to disable all data collection, unless there's some kind of hidden telemetry in Firefox. That'd be hard to hide considering the open source nature of Firefox.

    Also, looking at the source repo, it seems like LibreWolf is not just a config file, it's also a bunch of patches to the source code, plus they do build from source and publish their own binaries. So if Mozilla does try to sneak telemetry in, the LibreWolf maintainers are well positioned to patch it out.

  • Anyone still using Firefox after this probably hasn't been keeping up with Mozilla's many controversies. If this is your first time here, I can see why you'd decide to overlook it. I did for a long time, but this is the final straw for me. Luckily, instead of building anything useful over the past decades, Mozilla leadership has been instead focused on enriching themselves. That means deleting my Mozilla account right now was easy.

    I've now moved to LibreWolf, because I don't want to support Chromium's dominance, but if that project dies out I'll jump ship. It'll be a real shame if the world gets stuck with Chromium as the only viable browser, but it won't be my fault. It will be Mozilla leadership's fault.

  • Why are you assuming that it is? Maybe it's because I'm not a religious person, but I don't see anything morally wrong with sex work. Whether someone is doing it against their will is a separate issue, but that's not an assumption I'd make without other evidence.

    If you really are coming at this issue from a religious point of view, then there's no point getting into a discussion here since I'm not going to change your mind on that (nor do I care to; believe what you want). Otherwise, I'm curious what your actual arguments might be.
