This article is from July 2023… Is there any new news or is this just reposting an old article?

Do you have stamp duty in the UK? We have both rates (yearly) and stamp duty (once off during purchase) in Australia, and property taxes in the USA are roughly the same as rates and stamp duty combined into one.

At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.

They already updated it to make the language clearer. This is the new version:

You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

And they removed the passage that states they will never sell your data

That’s because the definition of “sell data” varies by jurisdiction, so they can’t make that claim (nor can any company that uses ads). In particular, it’s very strict in California’s CCPA, and includes third parties using data for analytical purposes even if no payment is made.

Firefox don’t store everything you type though.

The US needs Obama 2.0

Honestly, people are overreacting to the ToS changes. Mozilla haven’t actually changed what they’re doing; they’re just removing text they legally can’t include since the definition of “selling data” varies by jurisdiction. It doesn’t always mean literally selling user data. California is very strict about it for example.

It’s way easier to do with Lemmy compared to Reddit. Because of its federated design, it’s trivial to subscribe to a stream of all activity in a community (posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, moderation actions, etc) and do things when particular actions happen. Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can get a list of who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment.

And ideally your search engine of choice would be z-library or libgen

Several Steam games are DRM-free and don’t even need Steam to be installed to play them: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

For those games, you can just make a copy of the game directory.

but the main ingredient remains the same: a mammoth.

This is what happens when someone who really focuses on UX designs your interface. Little details that not everyone notices, but the few that do really appreciate it.

Chromium is open source, so Google can’t cut them off.

I’ve never had issues with networking or drivers with my Brother printer. I don’t have any Apple devices, but on Windows and Linux I just use the drivers that come with the OS.

Why do that when you could just connect it to the LAN and put it on a separate VLAN?

I like the default one in KDE (Spectacle). It does everything I need, and can take both screenshots and recordings. I don’t think it works with other DEs though.

simplified naming scheme with labels like ‘Pro’ and ‘Max.’

How is that “simplified”? Which one is better, Pro or Max?

Actual simplified naming would probably be names like “Basic”, “Business”, “Gaming”, or numbers like what Intel does with Core 3/5/7/9.
