Nice report on FF mods and forks.

To me things like Librewolf and Zen are FF mods, whereas Pale Moon and Basilisk are forks. Mods track the mainstream project, incorporating its updates. Forks say “Goodbye” and go on their own merry way. My 2 centavos.

Got a bunch of these on my computer (FF, mods: Firedragon, Floorp, Librewolf, Zen, ¿Agregore?; fork: Pale Moon) and Zen has been my mainstay since last autumn.

Also tried out a handful of non-FF-related browsers (Dillo, Falkon, Kristall, NetSurf, Servo). Falkon (using it now) seems to be the only one I can really use for proper web browsing. Servo is getting there. Netsurf and DIllo just don’t seem usable with the modern web.

I think I’ll keep Zen as my main web browser, and Pale Moon or Falkon as a lightweight backup or for special purposes (e.g. web radio). And keep an eye on Servo.

TL;DR - After Durov’s arrest and subsequent increase in Telegram content moderation, the Neonazi terrorists have migrated to… Twitter.

Interesting, thanks.

I didn’t really know anything about AT Protocol. The idea & potential of the PDS sounds great. The centralized control of the PLC directory is concerning.

Looking it up, pretty close.

The work done on the film to date was nearly lost in 1998 when one of the animators, while routinely clearing some files, accidentally entered the deletion command code /bin/rm -r -f * on the root folder of the Toy Story 2 assets on Pixar’s internal servers.

ARM is proprietary tech owned by Softbank, whose boss Son Masayoshi was last seen cosying up to Trump with the “Stargate” AI consortium.

Not just by the Japanese but by Softbank and Son Masayoshi, the guy now doing buddy-buddy photo ops & “Stargate AI” with Trump.

Hopefully the next rebrand will be from X to rm -rf /.
