@Gargron hm, i guess that's fair if you know people on the team personally.

but, there are a lot of direct firefox forks that also have a strong anti AI stance.
it personally feels weird to switch to 'closed source chrome' away from firefox when there are firefox forks too.

as mentioned in the […]

@Gargron i hate to be that guy but, why not something like waterfox? https://mastodon.derg.nz/@anthropy/115734945877820056

@maruno the difference is that the options I mentioned are actually still updated today and not a walking dumpsterfire in terms of security even at the time of their inception.

I'd love for someone to create an opensource Windows XP desktop with modern security features and a kernel that can […]

@maruno what if I told you CentOS 7 still uses KDE4 :P and if you want you can totally run KDE3 even: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/

Freedom! Every user likes freedom. Every user hates being told "today we'll try fullscreen start menus and don't you dare trying to move away from that" (win8) […]

@maruno I mean honestly kind of tired of repeating myself everywhere, so this is nothing personal, but have you ever tried installing a different desktop environment on Mac? have you ever tried keeping things as they were in Windows 7 on Win11?

If you want control then opensource is the way. If […]

@maruno I have tried them as well!

and IMHO, Linux >>> Mac >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Windows, but that's my personal view. I could never use an OS that forces me to use their weird paradigms.

the primary reason for this post is because it seems it doesn't matter how nuanced and gently you put things […]

@dragonarchitect like, I get wanting empathy for the world going to shit. I do empathize, I agree it's a shame, it's unfortunate and painful to watch.

But I don't think it's at all weird to point out that I for example have not had these issues exactly because I DO care about control.

I am […]

@dragonarchitect at risk of sounding like the stereotype you hate, i do want to point out:

'people fail at convincing people to choose FOSS' and then saying 'people just want things to work and don't care if it's FOSS' and implying things like 'control' isn't a valid argument despite that being […]

"Why should I care about open source?"

It’s about control. When you use closed apps like Chrome or Vivaldi, you are just renting. If they change direction, you have to migrate.

Open source guarantees continuity. Waterfox only exists because Firefox is open. When Mozilla adds AI crap you don't […]

"How do I install this on Fedora/etc?"

Flatpak.
Most forks aren't in official distro repos, so Flathub is the way to go. It also keeps the browser sandboxed, which is technically better for security.

It also deserves to mention LibreWolf, Pale Moon, and Floorp; These are all Firefox forks with […]

@nonfedimemes that person's going to have to eat such incredibly stale peanutbutter in about 1-2 years, I hope they have a cooled storage to put this because usually peanutbutter doesn't really last 'the rest of your life' 😅

@lobo *is very heavy and also very worldy*

@specialflocon LibreFox, WaterFox, if you want something like Firefox I'd recommend looking at the Firefox forks specifically, they're very close to the original

e.g Waterfox explicitly tells users to use addons if they want any AI stuff.

hey what's this new mode I think I got a new beta version or smth
