Y'all, there's already some gold on #loops and I can't wait until it's possible to share it with the rest of the fediverse and beyond. Unpopular opinion: The alarm over #PPA in #Firefox is overblown and if they had added it without putting the setting prominently in the Settings view but tucked it away in the about:config, I doubt anyone would be talking about it. The concerns about opt-in vs opt-out and communication are legitimate, IMO. PPA is arguably a potential privacy improvement for the industry. After reading more about how it works, I'm not mad about it. I just wish it had been communicated better.

@vwbusguy I mean, I agree, that PPA is a good standard for the industry, but I don't think browsers should be build for the industry, but rather its users. But I guess as so often, if you are a company, and you have to keep the lights on, non-paying users aren't very helpful and so you cater to the people, that fund you .-. In some ways, #Firefox deserves credit for at least making the setting visible in the main settings. There are plenty of examples of other browsers burying far more nefarious things. That said, it's a hard thing to reel back in now. The bigger story here is yet another prominent #opensource tech company fumbled communications about a change that users cared about more than the company expected. Let this be a lesson about the value of investing in #community facing people to drive decisions. @vwbusguy I did install it today! Mostly to figure out the s390x bootloader setup to use in another distro. :P Anonymous poll

Here's a #fediverse tip: You don't and to choose between #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Calckey, etc. Just like you might have had a Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook account before, you can have separate accounts on each platform. It's just that integrations between these things on the fediverse are generally easier by design. |
