They'll just do it again later more sneakily

Yep, a company that does something in the first place will always do it again.

I'll use whatever gecko browser that works best. LibreWolf currently.

slazer2au@lemmy.world on 06 Mar 12:21 next collapse

No because it was colossally overblown to begin with.

Honestly it still is the lesser evil

As more and more people drift away from corporate control of our connections, I wonder when the U.S. will introduce laws to ban these user controlled environments in the name of national security.

We who?

Make the decision for yourself, crowd following doesn't replace an informed decision.

@FauxLiving It's a figure of speech.

Who upvores these shit posts? I don't understand.

@FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org This "shit post" as you call it, is a post I posted on my Firefish account, addressed to my followers and a few extra people and it ended up somehow republished here (wherever "here" is, a Lemmy or Mbin instance I assume, seeing how accounts like yours look on my feed) looking like I manually did it.
Honestly, I'm not exactly happy about this either.

FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org on 08 Mar 04:49 next collapse

Fair enough. I don't truly understand how all this federated stuff works. It's not really explained well in my opinion.

I think including #Firefox might have caused it to appear as a post in !firefox@fedia.io.

DavidBHimself@firefish.city on 16 Mar 00:47 collapse

@threelonmusketeers Yes, this is probably what happened, but I don't think it's okay (and ethical) to make it appear as if I had posted there myself. It should appear as a share from somewhere else.

I'm going to refuse to agree to the TOU when they try to force it on me. If they block me from using FF without the TOU then I will switch to something else. I think everyone should consider waiting until they try to force a TOU and then rejecting it, if you want to send a strong message.

So you dislike the updated tou of the updated tou? What do you dislike?

When Google does something incredibly evil and malicious people react like it's usual, but when Mozilla do something stupid and gets back after feedback it gets so overblown.
Hey people, learn to live in the world that tries to rage bait you

because the terms of use "backlash" was just overblown Internet hysteria
