The sad part is that you can't donate to Firefox directly. Only to the Mozilla Foundation, which, I think misguidedly, is trying to become a political advocacy entity. They want to talk about "hate speech" online. They want to make their own AI thing... ugh. I would never deny that society and the internet has big problems. But it seems the organization has been overtaken by people who want to play political games rather than just making free software.

If they focused solely on making a killer browser they might actually be able to dethrown Chromium or at least become more than a niche player.

Puh. Mozilla is Google's pet that keeps them out of anti-trust court.

I use FreeOTP+. I have no idea if it is "the best" but it does it's job and has served me well.

I absolutely would recommend purelymail.com as well. I do self-host but this is quite a big undertaking, and even then you can occasionally get deliverability problems. For business use I would definitely use purelymail.

I love how much you can pimp out Firefox with custom CSS style sheets. However, the number one reason I use it is to show the internet that not everyone wants to just surrender to Chromium (and Google). If I could donate specifically to Firefox development, I would.

I have Brave as a backup and still use it from time to time. It's a good browser. Privacy-wise it is probably better than vanilla Firefox but inferior to Librewolf (a security-hardened Firefox fork).

The EU is very much hit and miss. I do appreciate them putting Google, Meta, and Apple in their place, and some on the legislation regarding smart phones they have passed. But ultimately they want to have all your data for "security".

Still, I think the situation in the US is a bit worse.

Makes me want to donate to Firefox, not the Mozilla Foundation. To Firefox.

For the advertising service though (e.g. Google) they are extremely profitable...

An amazing story! I doubt I ever have kids, but if I do I'll do something like this. God knows what sort of dumbed down tech crap they'll be fed in school.

I hate it when we all must suffer to protect the retarded... 🙄

It's coming along nicely. I donate and am a fan.

Yes, you are the problem for falling for this shitty marketing.

Hijacked it for the Greeks is more like it. But, frankly, Jesus's actually apostles were very much failing pretty spectacularly to spread the sect among the Jews so, eh.

Not my favorite language, but I don't remotely hate it. The story of its creation is rather fascinating too.

Plastics

Europe may have to accept air conditioning as a necessity. At the moment even in southern Europe it isn't typically considered one. Sometimes it is even viewed with some hostility.

Arch desktop, Debian server has suited me well. Apt seems really slow compared to pacman, but besides that Debian is great.

It's tough for advanced users like me because I hardly ever need to do it. It's not a routine task.

One of the few things I genuinely preper a GUI for because I feel I'm much less likely to make a fat-finger mistake.

I've never used it. Is it better than Librewolf or substantially different?

There are a lot of commies here. I don't particularly like them but that is there right and lemmy is not and should not be pro-censorship. If somepeople don't like them they should find an instance that suits you better.
