Rob LandleyI know I retweeted the link to Carissa Véliz's ted talk "How privacy can save your life", but in the wake of discord #enshittifying it's worth a manual endorsement.

@siklist Good question.
@Waterfox should be able to import things and if you're on #Linux all you need is to sync the subdirectory at $HOME/.config/ with any tool you want.
@fuchsiii does sync her stuff with @nextcloud as it has the #Nextcloud #Bookmarks sync option and she's using multiple devices, OSes and browsers at the same time.
Personally, I do backup, sync and restore my stuff to by personal mini-server at home via #SSH onto an encrypted drive.
Tho my default browser is @torproject / #TorBrowser and that is best used on @tails_live / @tails / #Tails which can also do manual syncing via SSH on the local network.
- I've not bothered to setup an #OnionService because it's beyond what I personally need but some folks do need it.
But what pisses me off is #Mozilla's tone-deaf ignorance of LITERALLY EVERYONE that uses #Firefox that they need to STOP #Enshittifying NOW!
- Because the only folks that love "#AI" / #AIslop are financial assholes like #A16z that push the whole "AI" #PumpAndDump #scam because they lost out when #Shitcoins and #NFTs didn't became mainstream and they gamble that the #Trump regime won't #PopTheBubble because it's already "#TooBigToFail" and will make the #GreatRecession look like the time (not so long ago) when #Switzerland deregulated [#CHF - #EUR] exchange rates in comparison!

@WooShell because #Autodesk are assholes and the fact that they are able to gobble up #Engineering #Software and monopolize it is the problem, with no #regulators stopping them from #Enshittifying and #monopolizing!
@mntmn oh cool.
- Send them my regards...
Given how #Framework has put me off with their sponsorships and how the continued #Enshittification of #ThinkPad|s (and me not stomaching the cost of a #3Dprinter for the #NUCbook) m, I do have the privilegue of my daily driver tools being not hard-locked to #amd64 and thus being able to switch architectures…
- Something that seems potentially necessary as #Intel and #AMD refuse to stop #enshittifying!

@[email protected] @[email protected] #ARM64 grows because #Intel and #AMD basically gave up delivering compareable computing power in the same thermal, electrical and price envelope. - See [Z3735F](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/80274/intel-atom-processor-z3735f-2m-cache-up-to-1-83-ghz/specifications.html) (2,2W), [N3010](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/91710/intel-celeron-processor-n3010-2m-cache-up-to-2-24-ghz/specifications.html) (3W) & [x5-E8000](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/92124/intel-atom-x5e8000-processor-2m-cache-up-to-2-00-ghz/specifications.html) (4W) having no successors of equally low TDP or even lower in production! The closest ist the [i3-N300](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231806/intel-core-i3n300-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-80-ghz/specifications.html) (7W) and [N95](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231800/intel-processor-n95-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz/specifications.html) (15W) respectably. Add to it the rise of #SBCs like #RaspberryPi that further kicked the cost down in terms of basic computing and the big #Linux #community that welcomes cheap #hardware and does it's best to put it to good use. - See the #MNTreform by @[email protected], which embraces #ComputeModules and doesn't have any #amd64 #mainboard (or rather #SOM) option AFAIK... It truly confirms @[email protected] 's saying that #Innovation in Computing it actually *trickling up* and thus #tech gets moved from the #Desk to the #Rack to *"the #Cloud"*... - I mean, in many #DevelopingCountries the #Desktop and #Laptops get skipped for very cheap #Smartphones and cheaper #Tablets to the point that regular #PC's ain't common outside of businesses and government offices... Obviously, I wished for truly #OpenSource'd #RISCv to take the place but that's about 5-25 years lagging behind #ARM due to #patents in many key technologies like #PowerSaving... - But we've to admit that on a global scale, #Flathub [is]( https://social.linux.pizza/@Oleksii/115820203243718625) a #RoundingError in terms of #SoftwareDistribution, because not every Desktop - Linux distro supports it, much less uses it per default!
Mal 🇿🇦🏳️🌈🇮🇪🏳️⚧️🇸🇪#Truecaller: The #Enshittifying.
Used to be a reasonably good app. Now it generates far more spam, and much more intrusive spam, than it blocks.
@ai6yr +9001%
@mozilla_support @moznews @Mozilla stop #enshittifying #Firefox FFS!
- NOONE I know wants that "#AI" bullshit and espechally not #AIslop, so get that shite out of my #Browser.
And if you're all too deep into #Andreesen's Bullshit #Tirnado then consider relinquishing Firefox and instead let #Tor Project / @torproject 's #TorBrowser become the new upstream.
Similarly @thunderbird / #Thunderbird thrives because it's not getting #Enshittified!
@valkyrie personally, I migrated to @torproject / #TorBrowser because #Chromium-Forms are just meh and I demand more #privacy than what @Waterfox delivers per default.
- Granted that's a "me problem" and nit the fault of #Waterfox, cuz unlike #Mozilla #enshittifying #Direfox, they don't!
BenTime to get off #Plex. They are truly #enshittifying, maybe not in the _classical_ sense, but they have pivoted their business model away from the people who use it, and seem to be counting on inertia carrying a bunch of those users (who will now be charged rent).

@emilyyoung precisely that because #Linux will win longterm just by not #Enshittifying and just treating users better…
- This isn't even like a hypothetical…
Also #LinuxGaming these days is easier, faster, less stressful and just overall better not just because #Valve actually cares, but because #developers and #maintainers of distros and the Linux community do.
- The only painpoints are some quirky games released ca. 1995-2005 that didn't see widespread popularity and need tweaks in #Wine & #DXVK to run at all (as @fuchsiii is dabbling with those) and #malware-laced crap under false pretenses like "#ClientSideAnticheat" that is specifically designed to not work on #Linux with #rootkits not dissimilar from #StarFORCE!
