I don't use this account unless pawb.social is down, where the main CornflakeDog account lives.

  • Switching back to Firefox

  • I love Librewolf too, and if you're looking to explore other options I do recommend giving the Mullvad Browser a go. It's another firefox fork but I believe it handles fingerprinting in a better manner. Similarly, it comes with uBlock Origin built in but also NoScript. I'd likely use it as my primary browser but I don't really care for NoScript and removing the extension would ultimately defeat the fingerprint resistance of Mullvad.

  • I don't think there's any sense in overlooking flaws just because something is overall better. Firefox is the massively better choice if the goal is to avoid data collection. However, I don't think that means it's fair to let things slide so easily. A community that calls out its developers when they make a mistake can ultimately improve things, and prevents devs from saying "they won't understand and they won't care." Firefox isn't a total angel when it comes to data collection, I mean telemetry being opt-out instead of opt-in is a pretty big boon, even if it's not as bad as it is in other browsers. I'm not sure what agenda you believe is being pushed here, I never once suggested folks jump ship from Firefox to Chrome.

  • Y'all can downvote this person but they aren't necessarily wrong. Unfortunately, it seems you have to pick the poison you know in the browser space or take a risk with something else. And something else is usually just one of those original poisons wearing a different label. That said, there are some projects that tend to be of better form than others. Consider the Mullvad Browser and Librewolf. Those two are built on Firefox but are "fixed" enough to mitigate the crap Firefox has done. For Android, I believe Mull browser is the best one can get right now, it's like a mobile Arkenfox.

  • That is disgusting. 'nuff said.

  • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?

    Jump

  • This is somewhat outside the box but as tech becomes easier, a lot of people tend to become weaker at certain tech skills. An example of this is directory management. A lot of folks don't organize their file structures nowadays, relying heavily on the search bar to find everything.

    Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration - Arch-dev-public - lists.archlinux.org

    Jump

  • I read through the update but I'm not quite sure what this means for Valve or Arch Linux. Can users expect better compatibility with hardware and software for gaming? Will this affect other distros or only Arch?

  • Firewalls: what SHOULD I block?

    Jump

  • This seems to be some of the most worthwhile advice. I do use a pretty reasonable DNS client (NextDNS) and it allows me to configure some useful filters and such, and when I'm browsing the internet I also use uBlock Origin and manually allow any third party content one by one.

    I did configure UFW to block incoming and allow outgoing, and that should be more than enough for me. I think I'm a pretty "standard" user in the sense that I would make a fairly average target for a would-be attacker. It's not like I own a web server with goodies worth exploiting.

    A part of me really wants to learn more because at some point I'll have my own router that I'll want to ensure is configured properly because I'll likely end up making my own server for media stuff.

    Thank you for your reply!

  • I recently made the switch to Linux for my primary computer and I felt sad I really don't know anything about using the CLI. Thanks to your comment, I found Hacknet on Steam and it's on a wicked awesome discount right now so I bought it and have played for a few hours.

    Now I know how to at least navigate the system through directories, and that's giving me confidence enough to keep on exploring and studying more. Thank you! :)

  • DaVinci Resolve not recognizing iGPU

    Jump

  • It's just an intel i7, there's no dedicated GPU, no separate graphics card. The program doesn't seem to recognize the CPU for an iGPU.
