MacOS but it was better about 10.6 or so than now…

Cool trailer and all, but they seem to have copied the interiors, the exteriors and even the back story directly from Dredd? o_O

Man the one on the right just hunkers down in the middle of the trail, no roosting! And they taste dusty when they fly up and hit you in the face while you're mountain biking at night.

Or… trying to tell women what to do with their bodies is weird, like the rest of the Christofascist Project 2025 platform JD is running on.

Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.

Probably my yahoo mail account. I've mostly transitioned off it, but a few things still come to it and it predates even my gmail account (which I barely ever use either). Apple ID's Hide My Email ability has basically rendered all the other ones pointless though since I can just generate a new fake email address whenever I want to register for something fishy. I wish phone numbers worked the same way.

These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

  • Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
  • Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
  • OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

  • UBlock Origin
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite
  • 2FAS Extension
  • BitWarden

I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren't, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like "A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser". Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn't a randomized grouping).

Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.

Why are people still using a site bought and run by a guy supporting the rise of Christian fascism solely for the purposes of getting tax breaks on his ill-gotten billions?

I mean… what's wrong with stuff like the Fediverse just gradually strangling the commercially-driven internet? I pay a couple bucks a month to a number of different Fediverse providers and if everyone does that, they'll likely be able to stay self-sufficient and community-oriented. I honestly don't mind paying websites directly in that fashion as long as my data is portable and not for sale, whereas I know that if I let most commercial websites have my data, they will sell it to whomever and however many times they are capable of, all while enshitifying the user experience on their website as much as possible without making everyone leave completely.

It's the most frustrating business model possible and why I refuse to give them any more traction than they already have.

Can't answer to Tor—haven't even tried it in years, but I know on Windows, Firefox totally ignores the whole "reopen tabs on restart" pref if you close the last window via the red X in the corner. You have to use control-shift-Q or show menus and select File->Quit if you're going to quit it in a way it understands as requesting you to reopen the tabs again next launch.

If you turn on resist fingerprinting then supposedly yes. It does pass the test with fingerprint.com then. Assuming you’re using a VPN of course.

I’ve been running with resist fingerprinting enabled for about a year and aside from the annoyance of having all your new windows spawn at a very small fixed size, the only major issue is knowing that for some websites to work you may have to enable HTML5 canvas for them. (It’s an icon that will appear in the location bar and you will know to look for if things that are supposed to be graphics in the web page are just a bunch of striped boxes instead.)
