I agree. Firefox is “almost everything” for me. The example that comes to mind for it not working is WebSerial. That’s when the UC comes out. Also there was a brief period where the Papa John’s website checkout didn’t work in Firefox.

This is all I do. It works pretty well. I sometimes have to turn it off briefly to log in to airplane wifi or such.

Memes@lemmy.ml•but officer, nothing is illegal on stolen landEnglish
134·6 months agoOkay but what if my great great grandparents stole the car, passed it down ever since, and I’ll be homeless without it.
I didn’t mean “Why does the proof matter?”
I meant “Why does it matter whether it’s military leadership or state policy?” - either way, it’s going to be what the military is executing.
Why does it matter?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•out of the loop, what's the problem with signal?English
1233·7 months agoGiven what you’ve said, Signal is still what you want and is good for it.
There are two main issues people have with Signal:
First is that it requires a phone number to sign up. That makes some people who want it to be truly anonymous unhappy. It’s not meant to be anonymous, though. It’s meant to be private. Those aren’t the same thing.
Second is that it runs on AWS. This isn’t a problem in the sense that it’s possible for it to still retain privacy while running on AWS. Some people don’t like it because they view the dependence on the infrastructure of an American company to be a risk to availability. They also believe that it would exacerbate a security flaw if one were found.
Personally, I know these risks and still find it to be the best balance between privacy, security, and ease of use.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?English
46·7 months agoEh, it entirely depends on your threat model. If you’re trying to protect against mass surveillance, it makes sense because you’ll only sometimes have a functional microphone powered on. If you’re trying to protect against a targeted attack against you specifically, then yeah Bluetooth had some problems. You have bigger issues at that point, though. I also think Bluetooth is probably more secure than you think.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What to do with surplus solar power in an island solution?English
1·7 months agoI think their question makes sense. The light is hitting the solar panel regardless of whether there’s current flowing or not. Where does that light energy go?
As far as I know, it gets converted to heat in the panel and vented off, but maybe there’s something else to it.

I don’t think this really makes sense as the leading point. More like “It’s run by Meta and who knows what kind of backdoor they put in”
Yeah, it uses the signal protocol, but who’s to say they don’t have a secret member of every conversation.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you calm down somebody if neither of you speaks the other’s language?English
3·10 months agoSome people are just hysterical. It’s just how such emotions are expressed in their culture.
My first step would be seeing if I can get them to sit down with me. Start with pulling up two chairs, sit down in one, and gesture at the other.
Once that’s done, try to get Google translate pulled up in conversation mode if you recognize what language it is. If not, step 1 is figuring that out. Try the app as a stopgap, then reach out to your organization’s translation resources.
