why would you need anymore knowledge with fedora than with mint or popos? it has simple and easy to use installer, and everything just works.

I really don’t but I do know the reason for their policies

mildlyinfuriating?

wow I have never heard people being this ignorant. that sounds funnt, and a bit sad. too bad I have hp and not linux

windows has normalized all that shit so well that this image is genuinely disturbing compared to the win 11 start menu. I am glad my windows days ended years ago

no I’m talking about rich white european and american sex tourists that are a big problem in some countries because they behave like shit

I think it really tells something about the tourists behaviour in sex clubs

I mean it’s currently kinda ridiculously bad sometimes but you gotta remember this this level AI has been around for like less than 2 years, it’s going to be a lot better in few years. chatgpt got launched in november 2022 and look at the leaps it has made in that time

but why the fuck did they put it anywhere at that state? unless it’s their strategy to get data to improve the ai, would make sense. kinda shitty move though, classic microsoft

the neat part is they don’t. unless you tell them about the trip. I too only take pictures of my surroundings, with my camera app, for myself, without the intend of sharing more than maybe one of them. unless I happend to put something on a family group chat or something

it is quite literally a link to howtogeek article about how to fix broken packages.

damn the guy lost all the accessories

yeah I can trust them with no ip logging because I live in eu and if that big of a company breaks their own rules it’s going to get noted and addressed

and without the ip you just keep sending quite basic stuff anonymously. nobody is getting tracked by that. it’s just pretty anoymous data which ingludes general stuff like tab count, information about your ROUGH location (ip based, not accurate), hardware, clicks, count of clicks, times page visited etc… so just basic stuff that has literally nothing to do with the actual user. the link to your telemetry ends at the moment they don’t tell the actual stuff that identifies you like your ip. please if you disagree, what part of that data don’t you want to be shared because it has something to do with your privacy? it’s all anonymous.

firefox is an opensource software where literally anyone can view the source code and check themselves what is actually sent. you argument all you want with the “but can youn trust them?” but literally anyone esle except some guy on youtube didn’t feel like complaining about firefox

it’s an opensource software, running with the expenses of a big browser. the fact that you let firefox use your anonymous telemetry for royalties is the least you can do to support browser like that. it is literally your specs, location by city, amount of clicks, where the clicks were, when it happened, and possibly some other stuff that I can’t remember. all which is sent without you ip or other indications? what about those is actualy sacred?

also the sharing with third party service is only current with the current search service so you can choose yourself where you want to give your data in search engines.

and the google ad sevice only gets your ad-id which doesn’t get linked to you if you don’t use other google services in which case this conversation is pointless.

sorry if I missed something I’m high as fuck

But I see no reason for fearmongering or untrust. they are literally OPEN FUCKING SOURCE!

edit: and of course they are doing a lot of businnes with googe it is literally the biggest and easiest advertiser and they need money from somewhere. doesn’t meen they spy on YOU and track YOUR data as your own and sell it with your info slapped on it.

they have 1100 employees to pay for and a LOT of servers for almost 15 million users. think about the costs with the mind that they also have to take profit to grow and get more customers. they cant stay completely still with growth and profits if they want to get more users and servers space. it takes a lot more resources to get as any users as it took in the firefox glory days

after reading the privacy site that doesn’t sound too bad. or at least “tracks you private data and shares it with their business partners” bad which makes it sound like they are literally spying on you.

they do send telemetry data yes, but not your ip or anything that could be used to track against you, they do share some data while using the search function from url bar which is prettt much necessary and that seems to be only the stuff you typed.

most of it seems to just be about sponsored content where they send the amount of clicks and time when those clicks happened so advertisers know some statistics and advertisors get their royalties. firefox does suggest you content based on your browsing history but that happens locally. in no point does you browsing history go outside your computer, which is the most important part to me. they do know what was suggested, but not how it was suggested

so in conclusion, they do send some device information, information about your clicks and where those clicks happened and some other very basic telemetry with no information that could be tracked to you.

of course if one want the ultimate privacy that can be a dealbreaker. but to say that they collect your private data is quite an overstatement imo. I couldn’t give a damn if my browsing is part of some anonymous statistics.

but yeah in a way you’re correct, they do collect data. like almost literally every application does in the modern era

I’m going to need some sources for that claim or I’m calling bullshit. I have never heard anyone claim that and I have seen absolutely zero evidence suggesting that.

edit:

these are the closest things I could find,

https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/22/24109116/mozilla-ends-onerep-data-removal-partnership

https://videoweek.com/2022/02/10/mozilla-partners-with-meta-for-privacy-preserving-attribution/

and neither is bad. meta is a questionable choice for privacy cooperation but even in that it makes sure no one, not even meta, can read those match keys

this is the stupidest comment I have read all week. chromenis fucking INFESTED in IT field. literally almost everyone uses it in my class, I’m a third year student in ict-engineering. literally everyone used it in my last school too, which was also IT related. if you actually believe that you must not really see other IT people outside the linux circles

our cars have long been software defined. not just a high level software that they put now. but for a long time there has been chip that is responsible for a LOT of stuff, brakes, steering, abs, traction control etc.

no there is also a second use. to search answers for questins you’re too embarassed about

Adobe deserves all the disrespect with their pricing

I don’t think so it seems to be just a stock photo. I don’t see how using a stock photo as meme template is disresoectful lol

I feel you. The internet experts are always to confident with information they have literally never fact checked. It’s just based on something they head and assumptions.

Of course everyone falls on that sometimes because we can’t possibly filter every single piece of information we get.

But some people start arguing back when they are corrected instead of just going to read about the subject to see which one is true and that is just so dumb
