Well, the good news is, this is a great place for dumb questions, should you ever have any. Welcome!

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Not much we don’t already know, but confirmation is important, spreading the information further is important, and the fact that it makes the administration mad is important.

that’s our token Zionist Kushner who we want to blast directly into the sun

sounds like a great plan, when can we start?

Once you get the hang of the basics, the “Articulated” models of various creatures are lots of fun for kids. A lot of them have already seen them at school. Surprisingly easy to print. You may need to use a brim or raft on some of them to make sure the small contact patch on each of the segments gets enough bed adhesion, but other than that, they print-in-place with no assembly required.

I believe this works but I agree there should be a UI for it (preferably under the “enhanced tracking protection” shield to the left of the URL), and I have to admit I run with RFP disabled too. It’s close, but I think it still needs a little more work to be practical, for most people at least.

The most compartmentalized setup would be to run librewolf --ProfileManager as a command to start the profile manager, you can set up multiple profiles, and it will either prompt you at startup, or you can create shortcuts for each profile with librewolf -P <profilename>. Each one is basically a completely different instance, with different settings, different history, and different addons.

Personally, I think that’s overkill, but it may suit you.

The approach I’d recommend, is to leave the default settings on, and once you spend enough time setting up your exceptions and umatrix configuration for the sites you do want to be logged in at or buy stuff with, you can get the best of both worlds in one profile, but admittedly that takes a little more know-how and work, and it sometimes feels like it never ends, but it does get much better once you’ve got 95% of your typical stuff sorted out.

I’ve used both and while Waterfox is pretty good, Librewolf is superior. It’s more aggressive in its privacy settings by default, you can either tone that down or learn to work with it (I recommend the latter, which takes some effort and is a different way of doing things, treating privacy as something you have to actively opt-out of on a case by case basis, which will benefit you in the long run).

Unlike Waterfox, Librewolf has also never had a problem where it “accidentally” sold itself to an advertising company and then changed its mind, but even despite Waterfox’s strange and concerning escapades with System1, I still think Librewolf is simply better on its own merits, nevermind its moral purity.

Ah, I am a 99% desktop user so that explains why I’ve never really heard of it. Sounds like a good option for my phone, not that I ever use it.

Not sure how that’s any different than disabling anti-fingerprinting in Librewolf. It’s literally one switch.

To me, the value is in the assurance that Librewolf is never going to follow any of these kind of stupid trends, the way it demonstrates they’re actually putting me first, not major websites nor themselves. It’s not about their features or configuration out of the box, it’s more about their demonstrated priorities and decision making process that gives me confidence.

I’m not so familiar with IronFox, maybe I should check it out too, but I do know Waterfox has made a number of… questionable decisions in the past. It was literally owned by an advertising company (System1) for awhile, which was very alarming.

So many people mentioning (inferior, in my opinion) Firefox alternatives in the comments and nobody’s mentioned Librewolf? Really? Maybe Librewolf will have to become a hard fork someday if this continues, but for now, it’s just Firefox for people who care about their data. Aside from a few justifiably aggressive default settings, I’ve never had even a hint of an issue with it.

There are fascists subverting every location on the political spectrum, none of them are immune. We’ve been trained to think in terms of “left” or “right” but these fuckers are coming at us sideways and corrupting our whole politcal spectrum at once. Don’t fall for it, pay attention to actions, not labels.

I read it and never imagined for a moment it was anything other than fiction, with perhaps a little genuine medical insight behind it. I am shocked to discover people used it as case studies and that he claimed it was real.

I know people who have had to give them the phone. It doesn’t happen every time, it doesn’t happen to everyone, it doesn’t happen often, but it definitely does happen, and from what I understand, they can refuse you entry if you do not. I’m not in a position to say how common or widespread it is, but there are enough anecdotal stories to convince me it’s probably decently widespread, albeit occasional and possibly targeted. Like you said though, no one knows what they’ll do anymore, maybe just shoot you in the face. And that’s kind of the point. They want that environment of uncertainty and not knowing when the bullet is going to come for you.

Sent back if they’re lucky. Otherwise sent to concentration camps, El Salvador, or just never seen again at all.

Yes, they already do that. That said, if you have good op-sec, you’re not going to have your social media on your phone. At least, not your real social media, or if you do, you’ll have it behind a password they can’t break and that you’re not going to give them, so this is not really about getting into everyone’s social media per se, it’s more about providing them more excuses to detain people they don’t like, increasing surveillance of people who they know are probably not really doing anything wrong to begin with, and the chilling effect that surveillance provides in controlling those people who are not really doing anything wrong.

I’ll volunteer to provide security for free any time I ever see her.

Punch a Nazi today. It’s always okay to punch a Nazi. It’s fun, rewarding, and good practice.

Mmhmm. The more things change, the more things stay the same. “Gulf War 3: Gulf of America edition” Now with extra-bigass Freedom Fries!

Millenium can combine Proton folders into one (not an endorsement, I don’t use it personally, just an option, you should perform your own due diligence)

Getting some serious “are we the baddies?” vibes from the US lately.
