One of the most obscure indicators of the US' reputational downfall since Trump did his tariff project:

I no longer see the 迷惑の国 (problematic country) phrase in any of the recent Genshin Impact release trailers within the comments. This phrase is mostly used pejoratively towards Japanese gamers who enjoy playing games made by Mainland Chinese gaming companies for no reason other than because they were made by Mainland Chinese developers.

Things mainstream media probably will miss, and now you know. #Gaming #Genshin #Japan #China #Gaming #Genshin #Japan #China

The UK, led by absolute donkeys, probably thinks just because they speak with a different accent from the USians means Chinese state hackers aren't salivating at redoing what they did, which is to exploit the government's own backdoor to telcos.

Worse, they made me support Apple.

@[email protected] Uhh.... I am afraid I did not write what you claim. Odd how you just put words in my mouth. Very strange behaviour.

@[email protected] Also, what I am doing is probably even worse for security. I am literally installing add-ons just to get dark theme back because I don't want to be uncomfortable reading my screen.

So much theory crafting that ends up being just annoying and useless. Reminds me of that guy who said sorry for forcing symbols and special characters on passwords because he didn't understand probability theory.

@[email protected] Yeah. I get it. But to turn off the feature entirely in the browser to even do that is pretty annoying.

I should have the freedom to choose to have dark themes on.

@[email protected] Ideally, we wouldn't have needed to move. But capitalist dipshits always find a way to make us do things that inconvenience us out of necessity.

I trust my browser so much for personal and professional work it's not even worth joking about when a company blames the user for "confusion" after removing statements about not selling off user data.

There is the legalese, and then there is the intent. As an anarchist, and a student of the opponents of anarchism throughout history, I wager intent to be the more important factor. #Firefox #Privacy #Security

 

Yubikeys don't work out of the box for the LibreWolf Flatpak because they sandboxed it so hard.

No big deal. Just had to go into the KDE Plasma Flatpak permission settings and let it have access to all the systems. Which is what Firefox was allowed anyway with a system install.

See why I am divorcing you Firefox? #Firefox #LibreWolf #Privacy #Security

@[email protected] It took a while, and I hate that it enforces light themes because somehow default dark themes make surfing less secure 🙄

But after forcing myself to use it, I have more or less set everything up for the future success. And not having to go through the settings removing Google search from default is already worth the hassle.

 

LibreWolf is my main now.
Firefox, I hope you recover from "paying CEO millions". It sounds like a fatal condition. #WebBrowsers #Firefox #LibreWolf

 

AZKi has shown me a side of Othello/Reversi that I didn't know existed.

The absolute bait-and-switch play looks like sadistic fun. To give your opponent hope, while eliminating all potential moves they can make, until they dance at your mercy.
