I use to care, but then I just use Peertube. Oh but there’s not as much content on Peertube. Put the type of content you like on Peertube make a channel it is free. Another tip is, look for specific types of content, and not specific content creators. and if you happened to find a creator you know or knew, follow them on Peertube!

I have plenty of tech Peertube channels that keep me up to date on Peertube, and it’s a type of platform that will never have ads or go a direction I don’'t want it to as a whole in terms of federation of servers and being an opensource video platform.

Server can surely make some unwelcomed decisions, and I can just change servers easily. Better then Youtube no ads, and your experience does not get throttled.

Whyy?? I don’t even use Twitter/X but someone make that make sense.

Why does Mozilla need ad dollars? Firefox is open source? If they don’t have a search engine what buisness do they feel thatvthey need this? Ads in Firefox potententially incoming??

If they would just stick with Firefox and nothing else they would be alright but they just keep doing things their userbase won’t like. They keep rissing their own expenses, for what? And wonder why no one uses Firefox. I wonder why.

The android app is about as clunky like Chrome even though it doesn’t need to be. Try other open source browsers like Lighting, which can view most modern sites and are just better made and don’t feel clunky and slugish.

The day they announced vpn services I dropped from Firefox. Because now its going to be more expensive for them. And they did more since then.

Where is the demand for ai on Firefox?

If only fans is not encrypted, wouldn’t these cops have other ways to detect and tackle csam material?

Assuming it is not encrypted, what’s stopping them from doing their job? Only thing I can think of they could use as an excuse would be, accessing copyrighted materials, especially since it’s under a pay wall.

If you’re mostly running Mastodon, and other open source platforms and software particularly with no ads, typically the less demand on your hardware. I use to have a 2 gb ram laptop and it surprisingly was able to do a lot once I got Linux installed. I was able to get ps1 emulators running at full frame rate with 2 gb ram. on the default windows 10 install, good luck getting anything like that out of 2 gb of ram.

Usually what affects the hardware performance is what’s running on it. If you stick to 2d sprites, avoid ads and 3D renders, block autoplay gifs and video the better your browsing experience gets. Also block JavaScript.

Microsoft could care less about your PCs resources when you’re idk, playing some 4k or even 8k video games. What a joke, but for real, if any of you use WIndows at home and don’t want to jump straight to Linux. You can (temporally jump over to Chromebooks, which will mostly work out of the box, and has support for Linux apps.

Chromebook’s I would argue are perfect for getting users use to Linux apps without having to worry about losing any familiarity they might have with Something like WIndows or Mac.

I would had concern over internet forums disappearing back in 2015-2012, but now a days, I don’t worry as much. if it wasn’t being replaced by the fediverse. Well maybe not replaced, but it is an alternative that has some good activity surprisingly and still growing, thanks to Mastodons marketing. It’s like an upgraded forums. And everyone can communicate no matter where they go on the Fediverse.

I still don’t trust Microsoft. I hadn’t bought a Windows since Windows 10, and this won’t change that.

I think that by having all major console makers abandoning Twitter, that it will keep Twitter / X away from the majority of the younger generations. (which I think would be a good things for those wanting to protect your kids from the content that’s allowed to free spread on there.)
