Firefox@Lemmy.ml: Does Firefox block websites from uploading data that could be used for fingerprinting like resolution, installed fonts, etc.?
  • If you turn on resist fingerprinting then supposedly yes. It does pass the test with fingerprint.com then. Assuming you’re using a VPN of course.

    I’ve been running with resist fingerprinting enabled for about a year and aside from the annoyance of having all your new windows spawn at a very small fixed size, the only major issue is knowing that for some websites to work you may have to enable HTML5 canvas for them. (It’s an icon that will appear in the location bar and you will know to look for if things that are supposed to be graphics in the web page are just a bunch of striped boxes instead.)

  • Somehow snapchat for web doesn't support firefox 🤦
  • All the Gen-Zers made me get it because they were loathe to communicate on the elderly platform of Twitter (even though they were all on Periscope). But of course, now they’ve largely moved on to god knows where and I still throw down the occasional sunset pic for the ones that show up a couple times a week.

  • www.abc15.com Newly obtained video shows driver after deadly Goodyear cycling crash

    For several seconds in the video, he turns the camera around to show the scene on the bridge where you can see multiple people and bicycles lying on the roadway. “Babe, I killed somebody, babe.”

    Newly obtained video shows driver after deadly Goodyear cycling crash

    … and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?

    Washington Post Columnist Argues Biden Should Replace Kamala Harris With … Hillary Clinton
  • She would have been amazing as a president, but if you really want to trigger a red wave of insane Trump voters foaming at the mouth about "her emails!" bringing back Hillary would definitely be the way to do it.

  • What is the best cloud storage provider right now?
  • BitWarden provides some encrypted storage on their paid tiers. I think it's very small, like 1GB, but it's E2E.

    Apple iCloud storage is actually E2E too if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. (Note that not all iCloud features are E2E, like email, for example.) And the price is pretty comparable too. Naturally this works a lot better if you're on a Mac, but just FYI.

  • It's time to call a spade a spade. ChatGPT isn't just hallucinating. It's a bullshit machine.
  • I totally agree that both seem to imply intent, but IMHO hallucinating is something that seems to imply not only more agency than an LLM has, but also less culpability. Like, "Aw, it's sick and hallucinating, otherwise it would tell us the truth."

    Whereas calling it a bullshit machine still implies more intentionality than an LLM is capable of, but at least skews the perception of that intention more in the direction of "It's making stuff up" which seems closer to the mechanisms behind an LLM to me.

    I also love that the researchers actually took the time to not only provide the technical definition of bullshit, but also sub-categorized it too, lol.

  • Biden supporters mostly back him in 2024 election because they oppose Trump, poll finds
  • TBH, I support him more now than I did in the 2020 election, having seen him in office. He's working the system to get some stuff done, even with the clown show congress he is presiding over. Is he perfect? No. But no elected official is ever going to be perfectly aligned with what everyone wants, unfortunately. Maybe we can get AOC to run in 2028?

    But yes, the alternative of Trump basically dismantling the government and replacing it with some crazed shitshow is definitely a motivating factor too.

  • deleted
  • I would absolutely send him an email to the effect of

    "Per our multiple verbal conversations, this is just to serve as notice that, in my professional opinion, your refusal to allow me to upgrade a system at risk of multiple security vulnerabilities on a platform that is no longer supported is a risk that you are choosing to accept against my advise."

    with a list of known major vulnerabilities attached if possible.

    That way at least if this comes back to bite the company on the ass, he can't say "Well he never told me this was a problem!"

  • Spot the difference
  • Wow, I totally see what you did there!

    Spot the difference

  • Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping
  • As opposed to out in broad daylight, mid-interview and mid-speech, like Trump?

  • “This Is War” — Tommy Tuberville Tells Americans to Choose a Side After Trump Conviction
  • And of course, he wants you to side with the felon who was convicted on 34 counts by a jury of his peers…

    EDIT: I love Colin Cowherd's reaction.

    “Donald Trump is now a felon. His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his national security adviser, his trade advisor, his foreign policy advisor … they’re all felons.”

    “If everybody in your social circle is a felon, I don’t think it’s ‘rigged’. I don’t think the world’s against you. And to get people to agree on anything, 34 counts? Zero for 34? That’s a batting slump even the New York Mets could be impressed with.”

    Mexico's new president!
  • Yeah, it's a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it's not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿

  • Mexico's new president!
  • Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a "moderate" Democrat who, while he's gotten a surprising amount done, isn't exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.

  • Mexico's new president!
  • Why the hell can't we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿

  • Some websites are nearly impossible to use in FF due to slow performance
  • To me this sounds like either your GPU acceleration is off or is choking somehow. I’d start with checking your GPU acceleration settings and updating your drivers if they aren’t the latest. If that doesn’t work, maybe try FF with a fresh config to see if it’s a setting you’ve enabled?

  • Humane is looking for a buyer after the AI Pin’s underwhelming debut
  • I saw the Marques Brownlee review of this and I have no idea why they actually released it to market? It looked so wildly undercooked.

  • Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?
  • Let's do it slightly differently, let's make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.

    Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.

    With thanks to u/SalsaVerdeAsada on r/Tucson… seemed useful enough to post over here too.

    Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data
  • Huh. I used it pretty much since the start and I certainly don't recall it being that bad? Like you got a lot of relevant content up front usually.

  • Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data
  • All we want is 1990s Google, guys. That's really all we want. None of this AI BS that kind find a country in Africa that starts with a K, just Google without the evil enshitification layer on top.

    [Video][Breaking Points] Exclusive Poll: Young Voters Abandon Biden Over Israel
  • This is the stupidest thing they could possibly do. How in the hell would Trump be any better on that one specific issue?

    Meanwhile, on every other issue he's going to be a demented (literally) nightmare tearing down the foundations of democracy in any way he can so he can keep power this time.

    EDIT: Meanwhile…

    ProTip: If you enabled resistFingerprinting, you have to manually allow HTML5 canvas usage per website
    mastodon.social heavyboots (@heavyboots@mastodon.social)

    Attached: 2 images Since I’m the idiot learning this by filing bug reports, I thought I’d pass it on to all other #FireFox users on here. If you enable resistFingerprinting in about:config, the web site will start showing you weird stripy graphics anywhere an HTML5 canvas graphic would be generated...

    heavyboots (@heavyboots@mastodon.social)

    My apologies to the Bugzilla team for wasting their time holding my hand on this one. Would have honestly never noticed the little "HTML5" info icon to the left of the URL bar though without their help.

    Best of 2023?

    For me, best of 2023 was Red Team Blues by Cory Doctorow. A retirement-age forensic accountant traveling around in an ex-rock star bus from Walmart parking lot to next gourmet dining location does a job for a billionaire and suddenly ends up in a surprising amount of hot water over it. Hijinks ensue.

    Runner-up goes to Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. This is some bleak, bleak humor. Instead of carbon credits, Beauman posits extinction credits. Got a big strip mining operation coming up that will kill off a couple species? Better buy some extinction credits to cover their death! (And remember, it takes more credits to cover for a dead intelligent species, so factor that in!) Next extinction candidate: the Venomous Lumpsucker, but don't make it extinct until you've got all your paperwork done. Researcher and extinction credit manager for a mining company end up in a desperate chase around the planet trying to ascertain if the last of the Lumpsuckers are truly gone or not, and we go along for the ride.

    Previous button missing in 0.19?

    Anyone have an idea why the Previous button would be missing from all pages? I can click Next and it seems to navigate me forward, but there is not Previous button to go back a page. Checked lemmy.world just to verify it wasn't my imagination and indeed the Previous button is still there.

    Things I've tried so far that haven't worked:

    • Disable uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and TamperMonkey for lemmy.ml
    • Load website in default Safari and Edge
    • Try a few different themes to make sure it wasn't something with the theme I was using

    Mojo for everyone being hit with outages from tonight's storm!

    Just saw the map from earlier tonight and it's pretty crazy! I know we got gusts up to 75mph midtown and I watch my palm trees thrashing like they might come down once or twice, but didn't realize until now just how hard it hit the rest of town.

    April 25, Senator Cortez-Masto of Nevada introduced a horrifying Senate bill, co-sponsored by Arizona Senator Sinema, that would essentially overrule the 9th Circuit decision and allow Hudbay to dump millions of tons of toxic tailings on National Forest lands. This would effectively greenlight both ...

    FINALLY SOME MONSOON ACTION!

    Sadly, it blew through super fast, like a real monsoon so only about 5-10 minutes of rain in midtown. But I am hopeful for it to repeat again tomorrow!

    So hot I had to get up at 5am to do a bike ride like some sort of morning person, lol

    Also, my new protip for showering post-exercise is to either just use the "cold" side or if your shower can't do that and you have a tankless hot water heater, just turn it off while showering.

    Tap water is like 85 now and about as warm as you really want if you were just outside sweating.

    FireFox Lemmy Community by New Tool
    addons.mozilla.org Lemmy.ML Community By New – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

    Download Lemmy.ML Community By New for Firefox. Sorts the searched-for lemmy community by new. So 'c printsf' will return the printsf community already ordered by newest items first.

    Hi everyone,

    So I have created a "sublemmy" add-on for lemmy.ml that lets you quickly jump to a community from the address bar in FireFox. Just type 'c firefox', for example, and it will go there and sort the community by new. Useful if you have a few communities you want to check regularly and quickly from any new browser window.

    The one caveat is that this tool only works for the website lemmy.ml because that is the site hardwired into the search string, alas. Not sure if there is a way around that (that would maybe take 2 arguments instead of one?) but that's where it's at for now.

    Link is included if anyone wants to use it!
