How did they betray you or their mission?

Im pretty sure you’re seeing a pattern where there isnt one, your post is just controversial

Its still experimental, (in nightly), and a bit unpolished so id stick with the extensions for now

It varies from where you’re from, where i am nkbody uses it (or even knows it refers to) farting

Well thats unfortunate, i hope theyll find something that works

You can embed bits of a website in other websites, that’s how 3rd party cookies exist

No problem, just tell me if you have any other questions

Yes and no, total cookie protection prevents cookies from loading from other sites, CHIPS is a new standard that makes it so that that is impossible* to begin with. (simpifying here but thats the idea)

*unless the browser allows it

People here seem to have not answered all your questions, so ill try to here:

1. Im not a text editor power user so i dont know about the features meself, but vscode or kate seem like what you want, although you can also simply just run Notepad++ through wine.

2. Looks like you can run Itunes through wine, but i dont use any apple devices so i would not know.

3. GOG games work great with heroic games launcher, and you can run EA app through wine with lutris.*

4. perfect. (on some distros you may need to install a drive, but thats a onetime thing)

5. i use haruna and celluloid, theyre both great.

6. no clue

7. there are several batch renamer tools for linux, Krename looks like what you are looking for.

8. With kde at least, you can make keyboard shortcuts for most everything.

9. if its not packaged for your distro, you have to compile it. But most apps nowadays are available in flatpak or appimage, so the package segmentation problem is mostly solved. *

also, very important!!, you should install apps from the app store, it takes care of selecting the best version and updating it and everything, you should avoid installing apps like on windows.

10. Given you are a power user i would strongly recommend something kde based, kde has the most complete gui configuration out of the big linux de’s, and offers many advanced options. Good distros that ship kde include fedora and tuxedoOS*

Also, you shouldnt try to replicate your windows workflow exactly in linux, that’s a recipe for failure, you should try to find better (linux) ways of doing things.

*i skimmed over details, ask if you want clarification.

They just said that because thats what the liscence is non-transferable, it is piss easy to transfer ownership of an account.

Also dont forget family share

Good news is that if more and more places start passing laws making it harder and harder for companies to do that, valve will just start allowing you to own the games for real.

I say this because valve has always bent like a reed when legislation forces them to make their platform more consumer-friendly

But it wont, x had to accomodate every desktop’s needs, wayland is the way it is specifically so desktop can implement wat they need, and only the common stuff has to be part of the official protocols

Most new tv’s are smart tv’s by default, yo uave to pay extra for dumbness

Well, since you copy-pasted, i will likewise share my favorite take on thr situation.

After reading about the actual feature (more), this seems like an absolutely gigantic non-issue. Like most anti-Mozilla stories end up being.

The whole thing is an experimental feature intended to replace the current privacy nightmare that is cross-site tracking cookies.

As-implemented it’s a way for advertisers to figure out things like “How many people who went to our site and purchased this product saw this ad we placed on another site?”, but done in such a way that neither the website with the ad, nor the website with the product, nor Mozilla itself knows what any one specific user was doing.

The only thing I looked for but could not find an answer on one way or the other is if Mozilla is making any sort of profit from this system. I would guess no but actually have no idea.

There are definitely things that can be said about this feature, like “Fuck ad companies, it should be off by default” (my personal take), or “It’s a pointless feature that’s doomed to failure because it’ll never provide ad companies with information as valuable as tracking cookies, so it’ll never succeed in its goal to replace tracking cookies” (also my take). But the feature itself has virtually no privacy consequences whatsoever for anybody.

I’m absolutely convinced there’s a coordinated anti-Firefox astroturfing campaign going on lately.

I genuinely cannot understand why people hate mozilla so much, it boggles the mind.

It does not affect you if you use an adblocker, this feature is meant to allow websites to have ad analytics without tracking.

It is opt-in if you have an adblocker.

Also it is anonymised info

Its also non-functional if you use an adblocker, so it doesnt affect anybody here

But totally worth the read
