Exactly why I hate the direction Mozilla is taking like why do they bother to continue to add more AI crap to FF when it's clear that nobody wants it Is exactly why I use a derivative (Floorp) and I hope they don't add this Can't wait for Ladybird

And I can tell you from my mother's perspective since she still remembers the Microsoft case that monopolies are terrible for a lot of things especially web browsers since majority of web browsers use Chromium in which is the dominant engine and it's terrible that's why I use a FF fork (Floorp)

Also exactly why Ellison is a fucking piece of shit especially running Paramount in the ground including shutting the Nickelodeon Animation Studios building in Burbank

It needs to be blocked end of story because the settlement will allow Paramount to have a unfair monopoly in the entertainment industry Like we've seen examples in the past of companies that have abused their monopoly including AT&T in 1982 (Telephones) and Microsoft in 1998 (Windows)

🚨 California says it wants to "protect children online". Yet, forcing EVERYONE to verify their age won't stop harm - but put all of us under surveillance. This rather destroys everyone's #privacy The fight against #AgeVerification must continue ✊ More: 👉 tuta.com/blog/age-ver...

This is exactly why I DeGoogled after initially learning their monopolistic practices in search though it wasn't until I discovered their predatory business practices in their products including their own hardware Is why I cancelled my YT Premium subscription and now my One subscription

GrapheneOS continues to reveal Googles active hobbling of the ability of OEMs to protect their users in favour of market exclusivity/protection, and pushing ahead with monopolistic anti competitive abuse hand in glove with GPL violations. Read below the break for the teams detailed analysis:

The fact that Google was already ruled a monopolist in the Play Store in the case by Epic yet they are now trying to make it harder to install competitors via sideloading even the 24 hour wait is very painful Not sure why the judge didn't look at it because to my knowledge it's anticompetitive

Nice even though GNOME is not my favorite DE anymore due to how heavy it is on resources I'm glad to see that it continues to improve

And not many people realize that when I went to Linux full time on both of my dual boot systems Fedora was actually one of my choices for a distro though with it being a Red Hat based distro and how shit Red Hat is these days under IBM I chose LMDE to avoid corporate influence

Just moved to Windscribe as I wanted to avoid PIA due to it being based in Israel plus trying to rely less on Proton for things Love the $9 a month business model since it's cheaper then what I paid for Nord Thank you @windscribevpn.bsky.social

Gonna try something different for a password manager So I've decided to switch to KeePassXC from the folks at @keepassxc.org on my PCs since I want full control plus being offline means it's not subject to breaches I will continue to use Bitwarden but only on my mobile devices since I have premium

Dalmation @dalmation.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Gonna give this a try especially as I don't like the built in one on LMDE

Just switched to @session-app.bsky.social from Signal and honestly I'm glad to see that development for Session is continuing with the funding because it's the only closest to Signal as Signal falls under U.S jurisdiction (PATRIOT, CLOUD, Section 702, NSLs, etc) since it's based in the US

Since I've started to use pCloud over Filen I will now start to rely on a cloud provider for my videos and video files from Shotcut Btw shout out to @pcloudapp.bsky.social especially for getting me over to relying on a EU data region to avoid US jurisdiction with the US region for $20 in a snap

000

I am also gonna be switching servers to the EU to avoid U.S jurisdiction (what's unfortunate here is that even as a Swiss based company surveillance laws including PATRIOT and CLOUD still apply) and have my data protected under the GDPR and Swiss laws

000

Given my now political stance with Germany I am now switching some of my software that is based in Germany to alternatives including Filen to pCloud since it's based in Switzerland which has the strongest privacy laws As for the E2EE that I only care about if it's a company that is based in the US

000

If it's one thing for the ongoing antitrust case for search that I want to see on appeal from our government I at least want the Chromium project broken up from Google because I hate the fact that they have so much dominance with browsers using the engine and competitors not having a chance

000

Started to use Mission Center and I like it considering the fact that it's similar to Task Manager on Windows
