Firefox can’t load HTML pages? Huh?
My co-workers were having the “Nothing to hide” discussion yesterday. I didn’t even feel like arguing.
Copium
Copium indeed
Microsoft Edge, based on Google’s Copium engine-
Trust in privacy, fight against GAMAM!
“If people say edge is bad they should consider thinking about your windows 11 os lol”
Reddit be like.
Yeah a very reddit moment
I don’t think I’ve had an issue on Firefox other than some sites saying “unsupported browser,” which is really the site’s fault.
I found Firefox to be much slower than Chrome… 10 years ago. Now, not only is it just as fast, it’s a much better experience all around.
Is that the same as the misnomer or fallacy that privacy is dead?
A similar argument I hear is “If they want me, they will find and arrest me no matter my precautions”.
Kinda yes… But why are you talking about threat models that include someone deliberately hunting you down? We are not high-ranking dissidents or criminals that they would put effort and money into finding. Our concern is passive surveillance - maybe the collected info doing us a disservice (like being leaked for scammers or sold to an evil ex), maybe even something mundane getting flagged and us being arrested just to serve as an example.
e.g. Period tracking apps being used as evidence when prosecuting people who seek abortions
those can be open-source and selfhosted, no?
Yes, absolutely! But that wasn’t the point - rather that the spyware ones are popular for some reason, and thus can serve as a sad example of “low-hanging fruit to make an example of”.
(TBH I don’t get the need for a separate app in general, seems gimmicky, I just use a normal calendar)
they collect data about every user, not just abortion seekers, propably
Yes. There are a lot of reasons why any one of us could turn into a high value target at the drop off a hat. If not to a government, then to an organisation or a lone lunatic.
“hello i am u/NotBillGates and I agree with this message”
my guess is its just another flavour of cope.
imo likely because recent history has began to undermine the delusions which were propping up the former flavour.
i had the same thought since i sometimes wonder “why bother” when i know that things like prism gave them everything they wanted 15 years ago.
Haha holy shit id forgotten. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM
i’m reminded of it each time i see the duct tape covering the camera of my work laptop. lol
The op in that post is 14 years old at most. Just look at how that shot is tailored.
An excuse to still be right.
Get off Reddit. Karma grind is not worth it.
Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit

If one has the right kind of opinions. 🤷
Yeah, I agree with that
Maybe the communites that I am in is too wholesome ¯_(ツ)_/¯
depends on the instance, if you’re nice it’s really hard to get banned on .world or blahaj.zone, on grad or ml tho you gotta be authoritarian
What’s nice to some is authoriterian to others.
no, what’s forced on others, no matter how nice is authoritarian
Hahahaha
The one saying they use copilot for math problems is the worst part. It demonstrates their complete lack of critical thinking.
