Lemmy requires you to use ^ before and ^after a word for _this to ^work.

Well, that’s stupid. I used the F-Droid share feature. Here is a working one https://molly.im/download/fdroid/

The HN discussion seems to be plagued by pretty uninformed positions.

“There is no Signal fork on F-Droid”

Molly (Enhanced and security-focused fork of Signal) https://f-droid.org/packages/im.molly.app/

“Telegram is privacy-focussed”

E2e chats have to be created by long-pressing on a contact and then choosing a menu option. The default tap starts normal e2s chats. Group chats are e2s as well.

I know that it is a can of worms politically, but now the man the whole world owes the wake-up call that were his leaks to, is forced to live under Putin.

If Snowden ever did, he hardly did it out of his own volition.

It really is a shame how spineless european politicians are, to not give Edward Snowden protection in europe. I bet a whole bunch of politicians are happy that he faded out of the collective mind, so they don’t have defend their indefensible standpoint of not giving Snowden amnesty.

It also sucks that there is no recourse against politicians that are clearly biased in their decisionmaking.

For me it was installing games. The installer was still active, but the drive stayed silent? The installer was lying.

The harddrive staying silent even though you were mashing keys like crazy was a sure way to tell that your PC had given up on life.

uMatrix is back on Firefox Mobile. Finally. I cannot understate how happy that makes me. uMatrix is the most important addon for me, even edging out uBlock. It is the addon, that, more than any other, made me feel like I am truly in control what my browser loads and what it doesn’t. NoScript just can’t compare. If anything, I wish I could even block scripts from the same source individually. More and more websites roll out scripts that are needed to make the site functional and scripts that lock the site behind some sort of paywall from the same source. That is the only time uMatrix fails me. For every other occasion, uMatrix still works perfectly.

uMatrix, if you understand how to use it. It is the best addon for Firefox in my opinion, even before uBlock (if just barely).

i think it works too well because it resets Firefox entirely, like it will even remove extension data if i did any modifications to them,

I had the opposite issue a while back, cookies weren’t being deleted at all. I had to start over with a fresh profile to fix it.

If a protagonist isn’t affected by what they left behind, the isekai is failing its genre. That’s why Moshuko Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) is one of the best isekai. Not because the MC is likeable, but because he is haunted by what he left behind and is influenced by the personality he formed in his “home world”

This is a protection mechanism to prevent laymen from falling for scam websites. It is a service offered by Google, enabled by default in Firefox. It can disabled in the configs.

Interesting how Lemmy interprets mentions. I guess it wasn’t planned to have this show up in the Firefox Lemmy community, but the software decided differently.

In theory at least, online services would be more safe than a locally decrypted vault. If your computer is compromised, the bad actors can pull your encrypted vault for an unlimited brute force attack. Of course, this can be mitigated by increasing the decryption time. However, if your vault is already decrypted, then bad actors can just pull all your password from your memory.

I, for one, am decrypting my vault once when I start my PC. In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn’t be able to pull my vault from memory.

I am confused by many of the comments in the linked discussion. They essentially argue for exposure therapy, when the first sentence of that article says that the redirection of the emotional regulation is what prevents exposure therapy from working.

Have you set any fingerprint-blocking settings or installed any addons that provide fingerprint blocking? Twitch tries to fingerprint during login and will fail if it can’t. The Charmeleon addon for example is one addon I need to deactivate in order to log in.

Reads like they are finally returning to full addon support. I’ve been using Firefox for Android long enough to remember that, before the grand redesign, they supported all addons and let you access about:config.

Back then, I was using uMatrix on FfA, now I am forced to use NoScript, which is more fickle to use and less stable.

Android’s file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn’t find anything resembling a file explorer.

I simply know where the settings are on Windows. I can find almost all stuff in the settings, I can fiddle with the registry and I can do narrow searches if I do need to look something up. I also understand how and where programs on Windows save their files. On Linux I have only very little experience.
