Basically when you use #Chrome/ium this allows Google to track you for any site using this "feature" and you won't even know it nor can you easily prevent it. [2/3]

"Smart" and networked proprietary devices should be very much called what they are: dystopian junk.

If you want a less polemic term, use "automated surveillance devices," but really all of these TVs, home assistants, toasters, fridges, smoke detectors, etc. are dystopian junk.

We need "low tech" appliances, and we need personal computing devices that are, by design, fully controllable by the people using them.

the future we deserve

Firefox's Multi-Account Containers add-on is awesome but, what about all the random browsing you do on a daily basis? I stumbled across this gem the other day and it's taken containers to a whole new level but automagically creating temporary containers for new sites you browse to. I highly recommend it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/

That's right; I'm getting back into handy tips and helpful guides. Hopefully this post will steer folks in the right direction!

Still unsure if using #HTTPS on your website because of performance?

Have a look at https://imagekit.io/demo/http2-vs-http1

HTTP2 (which relies on TLS) can parallelize your data requests. You will see the differences with your own eyes.

The Washington Post: Our latest privacy experiment found Chrome ushered more than 11,000 tracker cookies into our browser — in a single week. Here’s why Firefox is better.

Please don't.

Why?
Because they are too often RTs where somebody in Masto must click through to see and that's not what you most often want from your feed. Also, it's always a big question if your favs or replies will be noticed - you just don't know. In other words - obvious mirroring from birdsite is like second-class content.

Please bring quality content and readiness to engage to fediverse, or don't at all.

We're working on adding colors for folders in CryptDrive (https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/issues/383) and trying to decide on a color palette.

While there are lots of resources available for choosing small palettes which are accessible to people with colorblindness, we're having trouble finding larger ones (16-20 colors) which are still pleasant enough that people won't yell at us for being bad designers.

Can anyone point us in the right direction?
