@Fragglemuppet Yes? That is what I was saying? I hope you find an instance that is a good fit for you

@Fragglemuppet very understandable, I hope you find somewhere that works for you

@Fragglemuppet I think wandering.shop has quite a few writers on it? It originally started as being more writer focused before becoming more general, and I can give you an invite anytime you need

@mhoye I do wonder if there's some sort of "user has turned off telemetry, final message" signal you could do stats work with?

@mhoye That's definitely true, but I do think that a large percentage of the users who would edit those settings would turn telemetry off, and also the point that the staunchly anti-ai people had probably left Firefox by the time the kill switch came out: I switched to waterfox after the second time it added more AI garbage

@cwebber yeahhhhhhhh

I'm glad I was never a big fan, I think I binged all of it in one afternoon in high school and then never really visited it again, but it is so weird that the funny horny pot smoking comic is now literal Nazi propaganda

@cwebber @csepp Vivaldi will have the same problem to, shit

@cwebber @csepp GOD DAMMIT

@csepp @cwebber Waterfox is a version of Firefox with all of the AI ripped out, but otherwise up to date with all the security changes and stuff, I think it may also have some additional privacy controls added

asthma attack is so bad. I think I may need to get a cab home from work

@celesteh Yeah, @WizardOfDocs commented on that, though being a linguist I think his phrasing was something like "yet another reason to dislike him"

(apparently he's been kind of a professional douchebag in the linguistics community for years)

@gamingonlinux I just saw your post about OpenXcom Extended: There is a linux build for it, as an AppImage.

There is a bug where you need to create a XCOM and TFTD folder in the same folder as the AppImage file, but once you do that it works perfectly, no need for Proton or Steam.

@inthehands Oh, that makes sense. I figured it was because they were worried that their employees would wind up deported and they'd have trouble getting new ones, and was surprised that a large corporation would have that much foresight

@mcc That and Google+'s is circles are ideas a lot more sites should be ripping off

(in case you never used Google+, circles let you organize people into groups, so you could put all of your role-playing people into one circle, then just click that to see all the posts from those people. You could also use them to send messages to only certain groups, so you wouldn't spam your family with posting about dungeons and dragons, rather than having to maintain multiple accounts)

thinking of switching from Firefox to Librewolf, any warnings people have would be very welcome

Edit: Same questions about Waterfox (and other Firefox spinoffs) and Vivaldi (It's Chrome but has built-in Adblock)

This very specifically includes odious political opinions

please boost

#firefox #NoAI #librewolf

@Fragglemuppet Fraggle Rock! maybe something that Traveling Matt sings?

@mcc @hellomiakoda This matches the impression I've gotten in general, but I don't want one of those weird distributions that has a fixed base that you can't change. and all of your packages are installed as flatpacks, because I've had a few headaches with Steam and flatpak sandboxing permissions already, so I want it at least as a distribution package

@hellomiakoda @mcc (I don't know if it's gone all in on snaps and command line ads and all of that weird stuff, The last time I used it was in like 2006)

@hellomiakoda @mcc according to Wikipedia canonical stomped sponsoring it in 2012 and Blue Systems, a German IT company picked it up, apparently it's since left them but no one's updated the Wikipedia page

@hellomiakoda @mcc Yeah what? I haven't figured out if that affects kubuntu, since it apparently left canonical and went its own way a very long time ago, so Ubuntu has its own internal KDE distribution now which I'm staying far away from
