This vacuum robot does something nefarious. When it does not get the chance to phone home to spew out all the data of your house, the mapping of all the places it has cleaned, in the privacy of your home, without your specific explicit consent, it bricks itself!

Go read about it here, be amazed at what this programmer has done, to make his robot work, without phoning home again.

Today's popular browser engines have deep roots in KHTML, which was originally built for the open-source software KDE. I guess we all own a big thank you to the KDE project.

All you do on this account is praise large mutlinational corporations for their attempt to control and steer open and free software to serve their interests.

KDE-Plasma is responsible for greenwashing (for the users' benefit always) in when most people got into linux to insure that no such spying goes on in their systems

Flooding the net with corporate announcements to shade non-corporate projects will never work

LibreWolf is now in my Slackware repository

Resulting from a request in one of my other blog pages, I have added a Slackware (15.0 and -current, 32bit as well as 64bit) package for LibreWolf.

The LibreWolf version number "137.0.2-1" is a combination of the version of Firefox on which the release is based, and the release iteration of

10:10 - What? has program? Didn't @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social avatar thelinuxEXP meant the telemetry program, or there is exists something im not aware of? Anyway, it would be cool to know what these are...

As a side note, do I would love to , but it visibely reduces smoothness of my desktop (240Hz refresh rate), is it fault of my configuration, or common thing with the extension? I got addicted to high refresh rate and cant now go any lower ;-;

Did you know that by default stores your local Spotlight searches and uses them to improve their service?

This option is NOT accessible from the obvious location of "Privacy & Security" but instead from "Spotlight".

EDIT: Apparently this option applies to all Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads and the like. I would suggest turning this off on all of them.

All you sysadmins who upgraded to Mastodon 4.3.0: Have you noticed that after you dutifully upgraded the dependency to version 4, a message like this scrolled by:

$ yarn install --immutable<br></br>➤ YN0065: Yarn will periodically gather anonymous telemetry: https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/telemetry<br></br>➤ YN0065: Run yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0 to disable<br></br>

I for one almost missed this. You may want to do what I did (as user mastodon in /home/mastodon/live):

yarn config set --home enableTelemetry 0<br></br>

I'm sure the Yarn people think their telemetry is perfectly harmless, but I hope we all agree that telemetry should not be used in the fediverse.

WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @littlesnitch installed.
