          Hes the kind of person that gets haughty and arrogant over warnings to be safe.

          and the first person to start crying about "how did this happen, how could anybody let this happen, why didnt anyone stop this from happening!" the second they are personally fucked over by ignoring the repeated warnings they were given.

            For anybody unaware, their new privacy notice essentially states that if you opt in to using a third party LLM within Firefox, the LLM provider will get the info that you give to the LLM.

              Honestly, it's pretty easy to dunk on edge. But it's based on the same chromium browser. They have excellent customer support. I have in the past submitted bug reports and they have followed up.
              Until now, they had pretty good privacy and options in their settings. With this v2 / v3 situation, I will have to reassess all that.

                This might actually reverse firefox's decline in userbase at least in the business world. Any shop that already has multi-OS management could probably insta-switch to firefox, and i'm sure that MS locked-in places could too given enough of a push by IT.

                  Why is it that when I see removed, it's always from lemmy.ml, is that the only instance with the filter enabled

                      Right, you don't need extensions, because you don't need customization, because what you need is what we the corp say you need.

                      I think Web as it exists is a failed branch of evolution.

                      A networked (solved) hypertext (solved) document (solved) system - yes. A networked hypertext system with one or two unbelievably complex clients, where only enormous corps have enough resources to change something, - no. One can add steps - E2E encryption, dynamic services, scripts, all not requiring a monolithic piece of nonsense.

                      BTW, those hating Flash, I hope, do realize that its proper, paradigm-abiding replacement would be a FOSS plugin with similar goal, not what we have.

                      I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we're basically running Doom in a word professor. I don't know what a better system would look like, but I'd draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

                        Weirdly enough, I like buying movies to encourage people to keep making the kinds of movies I enjoy watching. I have some physical media, but often times you can't find 4k versions of movies on physical media.

                        If you rely so much on buying digital, be ready for a surprise later on down the line.

                        A lot of PlayStation users found out the hard way.

                          Personally I keep a copy of chromium around just for Google meet. Everything else is on Firefox.

                          I used to just use Firefox for Google Meet, but it seems they broke it somewhere along the way. Probably on purpose.

                            They might be using a third party authenticator to control access. My own job does that. Though I've been told we're moving to Outlook soon.

                              If the disk is going to be unused/thrown out anyway - why not buy a digital copy? Its only job would be corresponding to a usable file you download anyway... I do that with Steam games.

                              Archive the physical copy for the inevitable shutdown. No one can stop an old disc player plugged into a dumb tv.

                                Genuine question - isn’t their terms basically “if you use these third party services you’re subject to their terms, and also were going to collect some data to see if people actually use this feature or if it’s a waste of time?”

                                The Privacy Policy for a long time has been that they use your data for marketing. I'm honestly completely confused why people are always recommending it.

                                  But no one can take a file from my hard drives either. No need for it to be on a low-capacity disk when a thing half the size of a DVD box can fit orders of magnitude more.

                                          How would lemmy.ml being federated with lemmy.world affect how a user on sopuli.xyz sees content posted by a lemmy.ml account?
