Yes, actually. Addiction is, indeed, a spectrum.

BECAUSE Librewolf is that little bit better, it typically doesn't do well when i post screenshots and things to bluesky.

I'm assuming it's something about the results i get from the "Am I Unique" website about canvas rendering

they always look striped like this

YMMV, but here's a few different results based on a pretty basic hardened setup from both Zen and LibreWolf.

Zen had different results when disabling my dark mode extension. Whereas, Librewolf actually gave the same (better) results either way.

I side with Zen SOLELY because of screenshot privacy

Improved Zen browser results after disabling a dark mode extension I use!

This fingerprinting tool from the EFF team is one of my most favoritest tools I've ever come across.

See how private your browser ACTUALLY is. (I'll post my own results below. I use @zen-browser.app or LibreFox <3)

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

imo if your workplace culture is such that employees feel comfortable displaying swastikas in their cubicles then the swastika-displaying employee is somehow not actually the biggest problem

Just read the onset of puberty was typically much later in the medieval/Renaissance period due to poor diet, so girls were often starting their periods closer to ~17-18 y/o

So that really shits up the weird guy "well back then, menses signaled adulthood so its ok girls got married at 13" argument

The end of Windows 10 support is going to be an environmental and security disaster, an egregious example of planned obsolescence that doesn't have to be this way:

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

Such a good point! Essentially, AI isn't a good investment anywhere in the chain of production/training.

A human can get a whole undergrad degree with only a few hundred books AT MOST.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily
