Hello world! I'm thinking of trying a new OS. At the moment I'm on #opensuse because it's European (and it was also my first Linux distro back in 2002). However I'd like to move to something with a stronger stance against llm slop. My computing needs are modest: a web browser like #librewolf, #emacs and #lilypond cover it pretty much. Fortunately I have a wlan USB thing with open source drivers, so I have high hopes it will work.

I'm noticing more and more web pages aren't working in @librewolf@chaos.social. I don't think for a second this is something wrong with #LibreWolf. I'm certain it's that more and more web sites aren't working with tracking bullshit blocked. IE - The privacy thing isn't broken, it's just working exactly as it's supposed to. The web is broken.

A nice "back to school" hiccup with email this weekend. Unsurprisingly, the authentication bits from #Thunderbird to #Firefox don't work with #Librewolf because the entire OAuth thing is insane but whatever. Anywho ... installing Firefox for the ONETIME auth to get thunderbird to resume pulling IMAP email is something that makes me grind my teeth at night and want to throw all of civilization into the sea.

Thoughts on #opensource that allows for #LLM contributions. Even for projects where I am continuing to use the upstream project - #firefox / #librewolf, #jellyfin - the first thing I've done is to stop eating the freshly made dogfood. Jellyfin has an RC out. In the past, I might have tested it. Likewise, my main browser for years had been Firefox Nightly. No longer. The first shoe to drop is engagement - why should I test what #AI wrote? I'll let other people eat the slop instead.

Did you know you can easily change application icons in Linux? In Plasma it's straightforward through the menu editor, but you can also do it via desktop files in the terminal. I have always loved the @librewolf@chaos.social icon they use on their Mastodon page. It includes the Pride flag with the Intersex and Trans Pride colors. I highly recommend swapping to it! Quick method: Download the icon to somewhere you keep it, like: ~/Pictures/icons/applications/.Copy the desktop file if it doesn't already exist in ~/.local/: cp /usr/share/applications/librewolf.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/Edit your desktop file: nano ~/.local/share/applications/librewolf.desktopChange the Icon= line to point to your new icon pathSave and refresh the desktop database or log out and back in. Small customization, big statement. 🏳️‍🌈 #Librewolf #Linux #Foss #Privacy #LGBTQIA #QueerTech #Pride

Nochmal zum #DiDay Hab eine gute alternative für den ohne hinschon guten #BraveBrowser gefunden, der nicht auf #chromium basiert und sogar dem im Moment so beliebten #ZenBrowser ähnlich ist aber mit weniger #telemetrie und somit besserem #datenschutz #LibreWolf https://librewolf.net/ Seitenbar, vorinstaliertem #uBlockOrigin , Popupunterdrückung, Werbeunterdrückung für Videos, Popoutfunktion für Videos, gut individualisierbar, Firefox Erweiterungspalette #Browser#DUT #didit#opensource
