I would have thought KeepassXC works like other password managers with a network socket. Huh, I'll have to poke around.

I have yet to try the KeepassXC extension on Windows and I'm tempted to install Waterfox directly on my Linux device via tar file to see if that fixes things.

Edit: Keepass official documentation states that flatpaks are not support at all. Installed Waterfox via it's tar file and works as expected after following the instructions here.

TL;DR: within KeepassXC, go to Tools > Settings. Then go down to "Browser Integration". Select the "Advanced" tab and set the config location to ~/.waterfox/native-messaging-hosts.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

If conservatives become convinced they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

These two quotes sit pinned in my phone clipboard. They are used with regular frequency.

I'd say it's worth it. The fact that they've made adjustments means they are listening.

The funny thing is that many of the comments I've read around "you don't understand the legalese" are often people who are fully misinterpreting the language.

And to date, none of these comments have yet to say clearly why this language is needed for a fully local installation. Many of the people who say so mistakenly equate Firefox, a product with no legal rights, with Mozilla, a corporation with legal obligations.

Because I am but one man. 😂

Waterfox was what I noticed first. If waterfox didn't work out, it's next. Followed by ladybird.

Subbed! And made the first post!

There was a post made my Mozilla years ago (I'm too lazy to find it). It was in the shadow of Chrome getting more scummy. Anyway, paraphrasing horribly, the idea was that the humble web browser was starting to become an increasingly personal decision. It represents you in ways that many people may not fully appreciate, comprehend, or understand. Your browser history tells people what you like, what you are afraid of. Increasingly, it tells corporations and governments who you talk to, where you're going, and what you're up to.

It's why it's important for a browser to be built for people, not for corporations.

It's so sad to see how far Mozilla has gone from that stance.

So I get how challenging and annoying changing a browser is because in many ways, it's you. It's who you are. But, like in life, sometimes we must choose to leave the friends who bring us down. It hurts, it sucks. But it's the way of life.

I've spent a good part of this morning switching things over to Waterfox. It's not perfect. There are gaps and for some reason, I can port over Chrome and Edge profiles but NOT firefox profiles. But sometimes a fresh start is good too.

The privacy centric way for Mozilla to have address this would have been to:

  • acknowledge laws in certain countries have changed
  • Due to those new laws, the definition of "sell" has changed and Firefox may no longer be in compliance with their desire to keep your data private
  • Commit their desire to take the necessary steps to keep new versions of Firefox in line with their original vision
  • update the "we will not sell" definition to within the jurisdiction of the United States, or indicate that the definition of sell may be different in different jurisdictions
  • make the necessary extensions to jurisdictions where they were "selling" user data, self reporting where necessary

It really depends on the instance. For example, I am to the point of blocking politics on .world because they take a "both sides are the same" approach to moderation.

Most of my deleted comments and bans come from there.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Laws about child abuse apply to their enemies, not themselves. Their north star is oppression, not rule of law.

I imagine they are counting total installs, including ones pushed by Google.

In other words, Google has installed this software on 1 billion devices.

I love the idea of a Lemmy ambassador but absolutely loath the idea of going back to reddit.

We're better off doing better SEO on join-lemmy.org and improving onboarding.
