I figured out how to turn mine off after I started getting this one:
What the fuck.

I've wondered how y'all do that kind of text for the longest... Pwease tell me 
It's called Zalgo text. There's plenty of resources online besides that link that fuck up the text like that
Shweet tysm 
When money is tight join a swarm mind. This could really help!
yeah the "sponsored" ones are truly awful
I can't see an image so grotesque and uncanny without thinking of this music:

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It's been LinkedIn style 
shit for years and it's the worst side of Firefox.
For surfacing news, it's terrible. It's useful for saving articles in a way that doesn't clutter up your bookmarks. Bonus is that unlike bookmarks it has automatic tags that make saved articles you vaguely remember easier to find.
Omnivore is so much better as a general bookmarking service tho. Plus, it’s open source
Using this chance to vent: it's wild what Chrome or Mozilla will choose as the search term when brining up your bookmarked pages. It will consider a guitar pick website I visited in 2019, but not a site I bookmarked a week or two ago, and only based on some random keyword unrelated to the site in general.
I use Edge at work, have you ever seen the ones on Edge? "10 things gen xers have ruined for millennials" "how to tell if your boss is getting ready to eliminate your position" "How much self care is too much?" "Eight ways that generation Z thinks that Gen X should be castrated"
Its just naked attacks on consciousness. And we absorb it all day, every day, first thing in the morning until before we go to bed
Also, use librewolf, its just an opinionated version of Firefox with all this toxic shit, trackers and anti privacy stuff turned off
MSN = Middle-american Social Nationalism, when it’s not the Op-Eds it’s “American intelligence reports that the bad guys are, in fact, worse than you thought”
The phrase "naked attacks on consciousness" rings a crystal bell in my mind, thanks for that
Dialectics in action!
Anytime i have a new firefox install i immediately go throught the settings and turn that shit, telemetry etc off, switch from google, install ublock origin and enable find in page when you start typing. Anytime i am too lazy to do it, i hate the internet immediately.
But this is funny maybe i have been in error all these years.
Web browsers are just another adware/spyware ridden operating system running on top of the original adware/spyware ridden operating system. For as much as possible we should go back to more dedicated protocols and clients that have a very limited scope that volunteer developers can actual keep up with like gemini for blogs or for lemmy - desktop clients like Alexandrite or Neon Modem.
P.s. get linux --> ur OS no longer adware spyware
I guess, but that's just half the problem. Like most people now use google docs not just because it's super convienient but kids are also conditioned to do so on chromebooks now. That creep RMS was right about somethings lol.
Yes I have heard several independent sources (all personal anecdotes only) that many teens/young adults are not framiliar with basic computing tasks such as navigating the file system. Because their experience has primarily been this kind of mobile-first "cloud" stuff. Design is streamlined enough that you don't need to know where your file resides. It is all hidden from the user.
I can understand why schools distribute chromebooks but it is a terrible disservice to the students to allow such a limited experience of computers to pervade.
Teachers are their own IT department too in all this so keeping simple where possible is important.
With the way everything else is going I don't know if learning libreoffice is really a worthwhile priority over growing and storing food, metal shop, construction and permacomputing.
What are u talking about. Alexandrite runs in a web browser. Idk these others but the premise is insane so not checking.
U should at least get a browser like w3 or elinks if u r gonna be weirdo like this.
Dont go around posting that ppl should prefer clients vs web bc most clients ppl have r 1000% worse for privacy and tracking than web version of same site. Someone will read this and think fb app is better than fb in browser which at least can be configed to send less tracking.
Surely there's some kind of automation you can set up for it, hell iirc it's even built in (settings/addon synchronization)
Its called librewolf
Yeah, I think I can literally spend a good hour or two configuring firefox on a new install. I don't doubt it's an easy process to automate but I can go years without needing a new linux install so I don't care enough to learn a better way, especially when I'm going to want to configure stuff that isn't firefox on a new install as well.
If it makes you feel better i dont think automation is worth it for infrequent tasks like this because a) youll forget where your automation is + how to use it, and b) what you want to configure and possibly how it is even accomoplished will change.
I looked into this specifically at one point and iirc its some sort of js file but seemed like it wasnt going to work.
Pocket has strong "weird toolbar that secretly installed itself with some freeware program you found online" energy
I hate that mozilla put that in my browser and turn it off with extreme prejudice on every device I own
Just be miserable at work ... gotta set those realistic goals!
unfortunately these a reflection of the liberal masses that use pocket. I still use it, useful for me
I look at pocket—like the NY Times, CNN, NPR podcasts, and late night comedy—as a kind of morphine for panicking liberal professionals. Whatever these articles say, it seems like the labor aristocracy / PMC DSA bug-eating karens are feeling the opposite.
I just don’t use pocket.
There are occasionally some good ones in there. Kinda like YouTube in that way
yes, before I disabled them they were like this
I guess they're the reason firefox is free
