Completely removing AI, chopping AI to pieces, burning the pieces, and pissing on the ashes counts as direction... right?
Strangely, that was not an option. Neither was don't sell my information. It's almost like they aren't listening...
keep the browser configurable
God I wish they could get rid of web extensions and go back to XUL.
What would be the benefit in that ?
- me asks genuinely
Link?
Anyway, my answer is, it already happened and it failed. The phone. They made a Mozilla phone. It ran Linux. It didn't go anywhere. (I think it ran some flavour of Ubuntu?)
FirefoxOS
Browser based before ChromeOS was a thing afaik
Should be part of the post; I made it as a link post but it's here: https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/201
Thanks, I saw where the link should have been but it was just blank. Might have been an error. Who knows. Appreciate the link!
Oh sorry about that! I wonder if it's a Piefed vs Lemmy thing. Thanks for letting me know! I'll edit the original post to put it in the body too.
I see, you're on Piefed. I've heard of Piefed. I'm still relatively new to the Fediverse. So my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) is that Lemmy is like a free/open source clone of Reddit (I mean, it kind of is), but Piefed is like a fork of Lemmy. Different people make it, but it's similar enough that users can fully interact. However, not everything may work 100% between them.
So when I saw your post, I saw the space where a link would go, but it was blank, there was nothing to click. On your side it probably looked fine. So the issue is technically on my end since you didn't do anything wrong, the software I use just didn't display it properly. Unfortunately, it's down to the developers to fix stuff like that.
The instance I'm on is considering a Piefed server and I've heard nothing but good things. So I'm looking forward to seeing if I can migrate/clone my account to their Piefed instance.
I don't think they're forks or anything; they're difference software's but they interact with each other through ActivityPub, so Piefed can see Lemmy communities and Lemmy can see Piefed communities (it's also what lets you see Lemmy/Piefed posts in Mastodon and reply with your Mastodon account).
Insults get the point across, too, though.
Maybe, but to have it kept across and not just tossed back constructive criticism is probably a better bet
