Honestly, people are overreacting to the ToS changes. Mozilla haven’t actually changed what they’re doing; they’re just removing text they legally can’t include since the definition of “selling data” varies by jurisdiction. It doesn’t always mean literally selling user data. California is very strict about it for example.

It’s way easier to do with Lemmy compared to Reddit. Because of its federated design, it’s trivial to subscribe to a stream of all activity in a community (posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, moderation actions, etc) and do things when particular actions happen. Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can get a list of who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment.

And ideally your search engine of choice would be z-library or libgen

Several Steam games are DRM-free and don’t even need Steam to be installed to play them: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

For those games, you can just make a copy of the game directory.

This is what happens when someone who really focuses on UX designs your interface. Little details that not everyone notices, but the few that do really appreciate it.

Chromium is open source, so Google can’t cut them off.

I’ve never had issues with networking or drivers with my Brother printer. I don’t have any Apple devices, but on Windows and Linux I just use the drivers that come with the OS.

Kagi have their own index too.

Can you please link to the paid Google API you’re talking about? I wasn’t aware they had an API for web search.

Maybe that’s why they cache results for 30 days?

Why do that when you could just connect it to the LAN and put it on a separate VLAN?

Are they doing their own development or are they still mostly reliant on Mozilla? The thing with all these forks is that I doubt they’d be able to continue development if Mozilla were to disappear, since they still rely heavily on Mozilla.

I’m still sad they got rid of MSN Messenger in favour of Skype. MSN had superior video and audio quality.

I had so many international friends on MSN Messenger that I have no idea how to contact any more.

Google Voice is good. I use it to call from the USA to Australia which is only $0.01/minute and doesn’t have any monthly fees. You can see the rates here: https://voice.google.com/rates

I’ve got an Android phone and you can configure Google Voice so that it’s automatically used whenever you make an international call from your phone’s regular dialer.

Building a browser from scratch is going to cost well over a million dollars in development costs. I don’t think they’d be able to achieve it without sponsors.

Most consumer sites are optimized for chrome and even safari, firefox & Edge (Obviously) face issues with scripts and plug-ins.

This is why it’s dangerous that Chrome has such a large amount of market share. Instead of using standard features, sites are using Chrome-specific features and even relying on Chrome bugs that don’t exist in other browsers. It’s exactly the same reason Internet Explorer was bad.

The web platform is huge… It’s going to take a long time to reach parity with other browsers.

They recently started developing it again, after being silent for a long time. They released Amarok 3.0 in April 2024 which migrated it to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.

What’s the advantage over regular Firefox?
