@osnews Its been so long and never really thought about it.

- Arch was great but always had issues.
- Gentoo was great but not enough patience to compile when I need something quick for work.

I haven't really looked back since I installed Void. Sometimes it is a pain when things don't play well with MUSL but nothing that would make me change course.

@thecanine I like the clipboard function of HeliBoard very much.
A privacy preserving web browser is basic infrastructure for modern life. Non-fascist governments might need to step in. CERN could launch a browser...
Hmmm 🧐
I watched the full debate and yes, there was a heated argument in the last 10 minutes, but Trump pulled it back together calmly in the end. All three of them were complete asses Trump, JD and Zelinski.
@movq I think so?

You haven't got time for decades I am afraid. I would start your garden sooner and become your own supply of food.
Nice try: focus on the particulars, ignore the big issue.

@mozillaofficial@mozillaofficial reacted once more to the outcry regarding the introduction of Terms of Use to #Firefox. Instead of addressing the fact that neither Firefox needs or it is desirable to its users that it has Terms of Use, thet propose to make changes to the terms, clarifying things.

Their changes are meaningless: even if you were only focused on the fact that their Terms were bad, well - they still are. But with this announcement also comes a clear "justification" for it all:

"In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners"

This is what you do NOT want your web browser to do, but now apparently Mozilla is in the data broker business and the browser is their means towards that data (in order to be commercially viable, no less). They are not going to move away from this - but in doing so they're definitively moving away from the software freedom community.

It's a shame but we'll survive, we always do. For now, firefox forks will see their user numbers grow. If Mozilla will be able to survive a shift like this, that's another question entirely. I am nowadays inclined to hope they won't.

Oh... So some of Trump's ~600 staff are quitting over this already? 🤔🤔~
Idea: The entire world population email comments@whitehouse.gov with words of disdain 🤣 For example:

> Dear Mr. President
>
> Your behavior today was woeful. I am writing to ask you to resign immediately before you make things much worse.
>
> Kind regards
>
> Citizen of the World

Honestly, the U.S President and Vice President should just resign immediately. What a disgrace.

This is the addressing I want to read:

>
> Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
> You are never alone, dear President Zelensky.
>
> We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace."

Europe needs to back this up, as they can't trust the United States.

@movq I utterly despise them. They are slime balls. These should not have been broadcasted like this. This is wrong, and rubbish, and shameful. I truly have no words.

@andros I don't see a burst of new twtxt clients popping up. Yeah, the most recent ones are TwtxtReader and twtxt-el. Did I miss one? I agree with @david, looks normal to me. :-)

I'm also working on my rewrite at the moment, but that started… *looking at the git history*… oh wow! O_o Over two years ago! I just implemented jumping to the next/previous unread message.

So, #Mozilla wrote something up to "explain" their #Firefox move. Read it in full here:
https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/information-about-the-new-terms-of-use-and-updated-privacy/m-p/87922/highlight/true#M33705

TLDR? It's bull. Let's dive in?

They focus basically in saying three things:
1) Mozilla needs a license to your data to do things like sending your words to a search engine;
2) there's #AI stuff that needs ToS and Priv. Policy;
3) the acceptable use policy was already in place at Mozilla for the website, etc..

Why bull?
1) if what I type on Firefox (the browser) was sent to Mozilla so they could send it to the search engine, then they'd need access to it. It's not how a browser works or how a privacy-caring browser should ever work. Since what goes on between my Firefox textfields and the browsers I submit to is between us and then, Mozilla should have nothing to do with that data, with or without license.
2) They talk about two kinds of AI: AI services you can access to from Firefox, and AI offline and private abilities within Firefox. For the first, each of those services - if we choose to use them - can and should have their own ToS (distinct from Firefox or any other software used to reach them). AI services running locally should never share anything with anyone, so there's no licenses Mozilla should get.
3) Keep your website's ToS to your website, I don't need it on Firefox - and Mozilla neither.
