It’s time to use web integrity against them, by blocking access to your site if they “pass” integrity checks, and telling them to use a freedom respecting browser instead.

The whole idea of playing videos on a computer is so heavily patented it’s hindering innovation. Even ancient by modern standards MPEG-2 video is still patented in some countries. And then companies keep patenting new codecs and new playback methods (“on a phone”, “on a tablet”, “from a qr code”) that pushes back the clock another 20 years. Same thing happening with AI, where they will make more money from licensing/lawsuits than actual innovation.

It’s broken on the www.flathub.org domain but not on just flathub.org by itself. Despite browsers trying to get rid of www its still commonly used.

I bought several physical encyclopedias as a a result of my Wikipedia addiction. Having physical encyclopedias to fall back on is a plus, as their information can’t be taken down by deletionists. I also got the Encarta isos off archive.org running in 86box.

I’ve been using the internet since 1999. I’ve been using Firefox before it was Firefox, and before it was Phoenix, back when it was just “Mozilla”. (The original browser became SeaMonkey, but it’s been slowly abandoned to the point that it doesn’t work on modern sites anymore.) I’ve been frustrated at times and have sometimes used Chrome, Waterfox and Epiphany (Linux web browser) at times but I always come back to Firefox. Back in the Geocities era in 2000 Netscape 4.x was so poor at CSS I developed for Internet Explorer on my personal sites, (to my regret), but Mozilla eventually caught up.

Even though it is the last official version for it, good to see they are still fixing Windows 7 bugs.

Because I can use the real Firefox and not a Webkit imposter. I tried an iPhone for a year but it was too restrictive for me. Having a choice in phone manufacturer helps too. I’ve had phones from many different companies over the years.
