    There are so many things the Linux kernel project does just right. One of them is “never break user space”.
    Unfortunately most projects completely fail to get why this is important.
    I think one of the worst examples is the enormous setback it caused when Python was “upgraded” from 2 to 3, which meant breakage of huge amounts of libraries, that were never fixed, and was extremely detrimental to Python.

    The kernel respects user-space, but actual user front ends do not!?!?!
    KDE generally does the same when they upgrade to new versions of QT.

    No this post does NOT break rule 5:

    1. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
      Comments written in other languages are allowed.
      The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

    I speak absolutely zero Spanish, yet I understand the post text about 80%, enough to get the gist of it.
    That Linux runs Grand Theft Auto faster with Proton on Steam than on native Windows 11.



  • I never claimed they didn’t remove those lines.
    But your screen size is NOT personal info.

    Also this line was in my previous post:

    Mozilla uses this data to enhance Firefox while respecting your privacy.

    So how do you imagine selling personal data is respecting privacy?
    Again what you are doing could be libel, you have zero evidence to back up your claim, it’s pure speculation.


  • You probably missed the news.

    No I did not, but did you ever stop to wonder why there is so much anti Firefox propaganda, as Google is trying to prevent ad-blockers?

    Manage technical and interaction data collection settings in Firefox:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/technical-and-interaction-data

    What is technical and interaction data?:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/technical-and-interaction-data#w_what-is-technical-and-interaction-data

    information about how Firefox functions on your device and how you use its features. This includes performance details like page load times, and memory usage, as well as insights into which Firefox features you interact with, such as bookmarks, tabs or settings. Additionally, it collects general device information, including your operating system, browser version and hardware specifications. Mozilla uses this data to enhance Firefox while respecting your privacy.

    There is zero, zip, zilch, nada personalo info collected.
    So please point out to me which of these it is that worries you?
    Also please point out which of these it is you think Mozilla would be able to sell?

    Firefox is becoming a data seller too.

    I think that technically that is libel!


  • Or you can just opt out if you don’t think Mozilla should have this data which is strictly about the browser and whether it’s the default browser, and which in no way compromises any personal info.

    Just because something uses telemetry doesn’t mean it’s used in a way that compromises your personal data.
    Google, Microsoft, Facebook and many others do that, Mozilla/Firefox does not.
