It locks you to postgres. You don’t necessarily have full control over postgres unless you are using your own instance / service, but oftentimes you might need to connect to an external one. SQLite gives you a local option.

Also what do you even mean with “does it store passwords?” A password is just a TEXT or a BLOB if you are feeling charitable and SQLite does support those since forever. If you can store “hello world” you can store a password (just… don’t do it in plaintext, but storage is different from encryption).

The Fediverse. Poob has it for you.

The purchaser of that domain will be able to send and receive email from your addresses.

Wait wait wait, DKIM doesn’t solve this???

What do you mean, how?

Cute anime catgirl, a staple of the internet, without having to be showy or anything. And there are hooks to change it.

(Was actually half-surprised they didn’t go with “anime!stereotypical egyptian priestess” given the context of the software, but I feel that would have ended up too thematically overloaded in the end)

It does mean a form of provider lock-in, which is or can be its own issue. Also, while PostgreSQL is one of the best database engines out there among the FOSS stuff, it is verifiably and vastly overblown for stuff like “store a name and a email”, and I at least am not aware of any sort of “Postgres Lite” engines else I’d be using them at work.

Positives: nice uwu art.

Negatives: requires javascript, intrinsically ableist.

Firefox forks are real. They are also on mobile.

Cold take: we need to stop chasing web Standards that are purposefully set up by big corpo to be exlusionary.

What we need, what Firefox could hope to be, is a browser developed for a new old internet paradigm. Maybe Gopher, or Gemini (the good one). Alternatively a purposefully reduced HTML+CSS, no JS.

Trim down the fat so that it is actually possible to finance the development of a web engine an browser without leeching on a dick corpo (and sabotagong open internet in the process).

Question. Does it have uBO or an equivalent yet?

Without it, it’ll simply not be internet-ready.

The forks are Firefox with their own leadership. I have had pretty good experience with Librewolf.

Rooted/Custom ROM users are so tiny,

That’s what I told her to tell you.

So, help break the circle. You can target any of the nodes you mentioned.

• develop for the platform even if it has no issues (file it as “future-proofing”, “engineering concept”, whatever).
• use the platform while waiting for apps to come up, provide feedback on what apps are needed (and provide feedback on what can be done app-less, which is even more important).
• provide resources for develpopment (this one is somewhat more restricted).

None of the technologies that are abusing the network effect today started with a full charter of users.

That’s true of anything in technology (that is not designed to last; see: typewritrs and radio still work), so not really a variable. By that poiont you’ll either have a dedicated “updated” phone for current-gen slop, or have shifted over to a more private stack, or even have gone fully off-grid.

So, what I’m reading is, if your “users” are bad (or bots), just get better users.

Sounds like a net win.

so… physicists and fanfic writers, yeah :p

Gotta be physicists or fanfic writers. I can not imagine other better options.

Is that why I can no longer go from a web search (eg.: DDG, Ecosia) or forum link to StackOverflow without going through three CF captchas? If AI had not killed SO for me before, this does.

So it’s “You get off Google but not me! And keep subsidizing me!”?

It’s about 15% more understandable, but still, the same crap I expect by default from that kind of person.

Trusting humans (to any extent) is quite vastly different than trusting corporations, to be honest. But if that’s your jingle, you can always do the work with a bulk tagger / gallery assembler. No AI, nor environment killing, needed.

Organic died shortly ago (they’d been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.
