@lutfulmanan @davidrevoy it's not Google Chrome Edge... I've many things at the office that only works with Edge 😅 @lutfulmanan @davidrevoy  @lutfulmanan Simply a web on which you can browse with the software you want from the OS you want, which has become unacceptable for Alphabet/Google. @lutfulmanan @davidrevoy Internet, where one massive company doesn't get to choose who can use the it. @lutfulmanan @davidrevoy A web where the users are in control and are not forced to watch ads and to give up private data.  @lutfulmanan The Open Web is the Web we still have for now. Someone saw those embarrassing "Best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer" GIFs and thought that not only was it a great idea, it didn't even go far enough, as it didn't actively block other browsers. That's "Web Environment Integrity".  @davidrevoy the scale is somewhat accurate. The user base of FIrefox is unfortunately small and declining 8( @davidrevoy  @davidrevoy Stop Google and other bad actors with the 'Digital Feudalism Counter Action (DFCA)' firewall and notification setup for linux:  @davidrevoy Amazing artwork! Is there a 4K version of this picture? This looks like wallpaper material! :) @graves501 Thanks, yes! 3840x2047px , Check the links at the bottom of https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc__2023-07-27_Fighting-For-The-Open-Web_by-David-Revoy.html @davidrevoy Thank you! Making this my desktop wallpaper as well, it's stunning! @davidrevoy @graves501 yes! TY for this, already set as my wallpaper, I do have a quick question, would it be ok if one was to make videos about Linux/how to's and the wallpaper showed up in the video? @davidrevoy @graves501 This is now the background of the lock screen of my Google Pixel tablet, I wanted to use it as the wallpaper but it is unfortunately too blue for that. Might do it on my Linux desktop even thought it lack the irony of the Pixel. 🎂  @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org the uBlock origin also :ablobfoxbongohyper: @davidrevoy Unsure if I would put exactly a Firefox reference or better Carrot with moon powers from a Pale Moon :^3
@davidrevoy I'd definitely would read or watch this series... cheering for the underdog naturally  @davidrevoy Luckily, a growing number of people is becoming conscious for an open web... I know a few (French and Italian) sites offering open services: @davidrevoy Oh my dysfunctional god. That is so ----ing propagandistic that this is exactly what in all actual and simulated behind blasting I want to see since when I was approximately 28 years old I turned into a media literacy nerd. Easy Boost. FIREFOX FIGHTS GOOGLE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO NOT WAIT UNTIL AFTER BIG TECH NO LONGER WANTS ANY!!! GOOGLE FIGHTS FLOSS BECAUSE BIG TECH WANTS TO!!!/pos @davidrevoy This is so true! Firefox has been my go-to for web browsers for probably over a decade. I hope they keep on fighting for all of us.  > Sees the UBlock Origin logo in the shield. Epic. We must also protect adblockers, not just Firefox (which is important in its own way). Advertising has become completely untrustworthy with the use of extensive data tracking and such, and it's just irritating to see just how much companies are willing to exploit you just so you can buy whatever's on the screen now. @davidrevoy please make more art with open source content :D Even though FOSS is far ahead in ethical values, people need an aesthetic narrative to switch. Unfortunately it's hard to excite people with pure facts. @davidrevoy I don't like Chrome. It's made by Google due to the fact that Google is ads. @davidrevoy This sums up my feelings on the matter… I don't like everything Mozilla does, but my quibbles with them are far outweighed by my deep distrust of Google, and it does feel like a long, drawn out battle. The circumstances for making this piece of art are unfortunate, but your end result is very pretty.  Here is the painting process of the illustration I posted today. Painted and created with the built-in Krita recorder.

Je sais: j'en fais trop; mais la liberté peut au moins se targuée d'être illustrée avec bonté et beauté de façon admirable sous votre plume. Merci...encore...et en cœur...encore et en chœurs... @davidrevoy @davidrevoy @davidrevoy @swordplay Ask Mozilla how much it pays its senior directors, VPs, and C level and what they give in return. It was "interesting" when they redid the bonus structure to take money away from line engineers and staff and gave it all to senior management instead. It's all feathered nest territory up there. - Former 12 Year Mozilla Employee  @davidrevoy all we can hope for now is that their new ad standard doesn’t catch on… or that someone finds a workaround 🙃  @davidrevoy using @mozilla #Firefox and espechally @torproject #TorBrowser is an act of #Digital #SelfDefense today...  @davidrevoy Love your work, David. And it’s definitely not your fault that we live in the worst possible timeline but what’s missing in that image is the hand from Google giving Mozilla half a billion dollars. (Mozilla exists on roughly half a billion dollars from Google every year. Sadly, they’re not so much adversaries as partners.) @aral Thanks! Yes, I knew that. Thank you for writing this, it is useful information. It's hard to show all the subtle interactions and I had to sit on my own issues with Moz/Ff - e.g. all their failed non-sense side projects or recently their AI discourse to seduce investors. It's a limitation of my illustration that I kept it as simple as possible to be more efficient with the message: if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster. @davidrevoy I hear you and empathise :) > if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster If we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, Google would go bankrupt. When Google goes bankrupt, Mozilla would lose the half a billion dollars it needs from Google to survive so Mozilla would also go bankrupt. So the only way Mozilla and Firefox can continue to exist is if we don’t all use Firefox with UblockOrigin. That’s the gambit. @davidrevoy This is an amazing piece of artwork. Firefox in many ways feels like the last bastion before total chrome domination (ref browser engines), and that's such a scary thought. Google has far too much power now in setting wen standards. @davidrevoy Amazing illustration! Nobody in my real life ever understands why Google's or Meta's internet monopolization is a problem, not even the ones familiar with tech at large. |
@davidrevoy This is great!
