Best mod ever! <3

Vibe Coding: To generate AI slop code without understanding, nor manually reviewing/altering said generated slop.

It literally means, produce low-quality work.

I get the sentiment,
however when the user base of a FOSS alternative grows beyond the closed source alternative, a switch can happen.

So it would be a good thing to have a FOSS alternative out there, which can accumulate a user base over time.

Without any alternatives being developed,
a switch can never happen.

After a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it’s a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.

So it’s unlikely that it will be susceptible,
unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.

Raccoon thoughts:
Nooo muh grapes! D:

Well guess you really want some,
fine you can have that one.

Fork of FireFox,
with a focus on data privacy + security:
https://librewolf.net/

I’d also like to add IronFox,
similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:

Hi OP, I do the same thing during winters.

For XMR,
you can increase the profits a bit with XmrVsBeast + Gupaxx

• https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/
• https://github.com/Cyrix126/gupaxx

It’s on F-Droid,
but you’ve gotta add their repo:

fdroidrepos://fdroid.ironfoxoss.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=C5E291B5A571F9C8CD9A9799C2C94E02EC9703948893F2CA756D67B94204F904

That link can also be found on their Gitlab:

I lately have a saying:
“If it’s not FOSS, it’s not worth your time”

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.

Vanilla Invidious currently doesn’t work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.

Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here’s the source code if you’re interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious

I’ve got big respect for Fijxu,
he’s been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.

If you can please consider:

• Donating for their work/hosting
• Hosting their fork on your own
• Solving open issues with pull requests to their fork

All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he’s mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.

Perhaps Monero bounties has something?

You can get paid in XMR for helping the community build tools that help the ecosystem.

Yeah, it’s a feature of my client, Eternity,
I’ve written a guide once on how to set it up:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/6091026

Other clients might support similar filter functionality though, but afaik it’s not natively supported by Lemmy at this time.

Put Elon in the title please,
so people can filter it out of their feeds.

Edit: Thank you OP!

Day 1 8:30 - I’ll fix this in a few minutes
Day 1 8:30 - 17:00 - Head to desk banging
Day 1 17:00 - Fuck you and see you tomorrow
Day 2 8:45 - Fuck that was an easy fix,
why didn’t I think of that yesterday

I’ve written a guide for Eternity in the past,
still works fine to filter my All + Subscriptions feed:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/6091026

And by continuing to use it,
it will stay that way.

Just don’t, plenty of other 2nd hand sites out there, with plenty of products available.

OP I appreciate the reasoning.
But I’d advise against it,
and would recommend users to delete their Facebook account asap.

Why? 4-5 years ago I already noticed the “illusion of free speech” on Facebook.

The platform is a data farm,
but I’m a data privacy advocate,
so I regularly posted data privacy articles/tools.

Which went against the best interest of Facebook, so they simply held back that content from nearly everyone’s feed, resulting in it getting nearly zero attention.

But if I posted a dumb meme,
it would get a lot of attention.

I’ve asked around to friends back in the day who where scrolling online if they saw my data privacy posts, none did.

So staying on the platform to advertise things that go against Facebooks best interest, will likely not yield good results.

However deleting your account,
is a great conversation starter that can easily be directed into WOM (Word of Mouth) marketing, to teach your friends and family about Fediverse tools.

It does seem interesting,
but I remain skeptical.

This means putting your trust in Obscura, since they’re the 1st hop, receiving your data without additional encryption, a new player, who yet has to prove that they’re trustworthy.

Sure their Github may show great software, but that doesn’t mean we can see which software they might additionally install on their servers.

Meanwhile Mullvad has already been proven to be trustworthy through the best possible review any VPN company can receive, being: Server seized by the feds, but zero useful info retrieved by them.

Which proves they back up their claim of being a No-Log VPN.

Due to this I trust Mullvad,
and don’t have any issues with sending them my data.

But I can’t put the same faith in Obscura yet, not before they receive a similar “review”.

That’s nice and all,
but when will they tackle loot boxes?

That shit has pushed plenty of minors into gambling addictions, but they don’t crack down on it, since they get a sweet cut of it all.

Valve in general isn’t the worst company,
but they’re far from innocent as well.

For those that don’t know:
It was a jump-scare flash game.

The goal was to navigate through the maze with your mouse, without touching the walls, which gets harder near the end, likely resulting in you getting closer to and concentrating hard on the screen.

Near the end they flashed a horror image and blasted a loud sound through your speakers.

Personally, it didn’t make me flinch much though,
but I guess it affected some others like OP.
