I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.
But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.
I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

but it does make me happy to see articles condemning their moves almost every day
Did you read this article? It’s a pro-Microsoft article published on MSN (Microsoft Network).
Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.
I think the post is supposed to link here: https://timemachiner.io/2022/06/18/windows-95-launch-video-reminds-us-how-90s-the-90s-were/
For some reason when I view the post it just links to a jpeg
This is the Windows 95 launch video in my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4
So the training environment was not Touhou? So what does the training environment look like? I’d be interested to see that, and how it improved over time.
For anyone that has to wait for their distro package manager before they get this update, here is a workaround for the most annoying bug (losing the ability to drag/re-order tabs in Firefox):
If the bug is present, you will find that drag-and-drop functionality has seized working in Firefox and it is not possible to select and drag drop images, texts, URLs, tabs etc.
4 Either restart Firefox or do the following to restore drag-and-drop functionality:
a Open another application like a text editor.
b Enter some random text, select it en drag it unto the URL-bar area in Firefox.
This will cause Firefox to try and open the selected text as if it were a URL.
c After this, try step 1 again to see if drag-and-drop functionality has returned.
That wasn’t the point of OP’s post. They’re saying that people who want to opt out from this search data telemetry must also opt out of all telemetry, which means privacy conscious users will be under-represented in Mozilla’s telemetry data (selection bias). This could lead to worse privacy-related decisions from Mozilla in future.
Why not post your blogs to a fediverse platform? Do they need to be on a separate hosted system? You’ll probably get more people reading and engaging with your posts if you are just posting to a Mastodon instance rather than hosting on a separate web platform and hoping that people stumble across it.
Google *had good search. It’s been dogshit for some time now though.
I used Qwant for a few days and then it popped up a modal dialog asking me to turn off my ad-blocker. Never used it again after that.
I’m also going to try using the eSIM to trial Google Fi
You degoogled your phone and then want to route all of your mobile data through Google servers?
Go on then, LTT. Delete your youtube account.
If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.
Technology also isn’t going to improve drastically any more

What bust? What do you think cloud providers are using for long term storage? SSDs in datacentres are for databases and hot data-sets. Anything that is written for archival purposes or only read infrequently goes to HDDs.
HDDs are still the most cost-effective way of storing data and probably still will be for some time yet.
