An immense weight on a great man in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

"Fat" means high body fat percentage, not just "weighs a lot".

People with lots of muscle are categorized as obese with the regular BMI formulas, but that obviously doesn't apply to them.

If I don’t do some sports for a week I immediately feel horrible.

I'm under 30, and I feel like that when I don't go to the gym for a few days. That's probably not specifically an aging thing.

Hey Reddit, how's it going? Reddit: in c/reddit@lemmy.world

They're in the business of selling "organic" content to AI companies, but those AI companies don't want advertiser-unfriendly language in their datasets.

The word "Luigi" is now flagged by automod for violence on Reddit in c/reddit@lemmy.world

One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren't a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.

So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!

Me after Mozilla and Proton in c/memes@lemmy.world

This is FUD. It definitely is not a "critical" security feature. Firefox flatpak can't currently do its own internal sandboxing of subprocesses via namespaces, but it does do seccomp bpf filtering. That's in addition to the standard sandboxing of flatpak itself, which is implemented using namespaces anyways.

If you are extra paranoid, you can tweak the flatpak's permissions to harden the sandboxing via your distro's flatpak settings app.

Flatpaks are containerized, making them both more reliable and more secure (in general... but it's always possible to fuck things up).

Besides the benefits to users, there are also huge benefits to developers: they can publish a single package and support nearly every distro with it.

It's often impossible for a dev to publish and maintain packages for all Linux distros out there, so stuff on AUR is built and packaged by well-meaning, but random people who are not the original developer. This very often leads to the app having bugs and compatibility issues which the developer ends up wasting time debugging and trying to fix even though it's not their fault. (although downstream packagers can fuck this up too by publishing their own unofficial Flatpaks, like Fedora's recent OBS shenanigans)

Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data in c/technology@lemmy.world

I think it'd be less creepy if there was an easily accessible public dashboard displaying this telemetry. E.g. like counters showing how many people hide the bookmark bar. If you can instantly see what data your browser is sending in an easily digestible format (ie not a dump of JSON in a submenu), it's easier to gain a quick understanding of the benefits vs minimal privacy tradeoffs.

But it really depends on trust: trust that they're not collecting more than they claim, and trust that the data is properly anonymized. Mozilla has lost that trust.

I tend to go with Flathub before the AUR, if available.

This is the correct way to Linux in 2025

Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly in c/technology@lemmy.world

I didn't know that, but tbh not surprising. Dotcom-era tech bro billionaires are all the same.

I don't get your point, are you saying that using LibreWolf will still send your personal data to Mozilla? A privacy hardened config should be enough to disable all data collection, unless there's some kind of hidden telemetry in Firefox. That'd be hard to hide considering the open source nature of Firefox.

Also, looking at the source repo, it seems like LibreWolf is not just a config file, it's also a bunch of patches to the source code, plus they do build from source and publish their own binaries. So if Mozilla does try to sneak telemetry in, the LibreWolf maintainers are well positioned to patch it out.

Anyone still using Firefox after this probably hasn't been keeping up with Mozilla's many controversies. If this is your first time here, I can see why you'd decide to overlook it. I did for a long time, but this is the final straw for me. Luckily, instead of building anything useful over the past decades, Mozilla leadership has been instead focused on enriching themselves. That means deleting my Mozilla account right now was easy.

I've now moved to LibreWolf, because I don't want to support Chromium's dominance, but if that project dies out I'll jump ship. It'll be a real shame if the world gets stuck with Chromium as the only viable browser, but it won't be my fault. It will be Mozilla leadership's fault.

Can anyone get noclip.website to work? (noclip.website)

Hi, recent firefox refugee here, and I'm trying to figure out how to get webgl fully working. I already disabled webgl.disabled in about:config, and that seems to have done the trick for most webgl content.

However, the site noclip.website doesn't work. It's basically a 3D model viewer for game maps, and all I get is a black screen. This site works fine in Firefox on this same machine.

I'm using LibreWorld 135.0.1-1 Flatpak on Linux

Thanks!

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)
 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
