Since you’re blocking Mozilla domains, my first thought was that it might have to do with the automatic malware checks for downloaded files. But the knowledge base article says it only checks executables, and it doesn’t sound like it tries to contact a Mozilla server either.
But yeah, maybe you want to try turning that off in the settings for debugging either way.

The other suspicion is immediately Snap, primarily because I’ve seen quite some brokenness from Snap Firefox already.
You can try downloading the non-Snap version from the webpage directly: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/all/desktop-release/linux64/
That’ll give you a .tar.bz2, which you just unpack and run the firefox binary inside.

If it works there and you want to permanently switch, you probably want to use Mozilla’s APT repo: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended

What I find most terrifying about this, is that this isn’t the first Trump term. There’s no guessing what his politics are like. This woman must’ve been presented a completely wild reality by social media algorithms for them to think Kamala was the worse choice.

To be fair, Trump has claimed for probably roundabout everything that he’s going to champion it. If you’re not skeptical and you just hear what you want to hear, then you would probably believe that he’s going to champion your thing.

It’s a survey for what the Mozilla Foundation should be focussing on. Firefox development happens at the Mozilla Corporation (which is a subsidiary of the Foundation, but operates pretty independently).

Hmm, I don’t know anything about Whoogle, but from other privacy-conscious search engines, I would expect it to work when you use that URL in your bookmark.

Three things I can imagine:

• Something in your hosting stack strips the URL parameters, like maybe your reverse proxy, if you use one. You might be able to see in the Whoogle or web server logs, which URLs actually reach it. Might need to set it to debug/trace logging.
• Maybe there’s a flag in the Whoogle configuration you need to enable to accept these preference URLs.
• It’s a bug in that Whoogle version.

I stopped using Reddit a few years before the whole stupidity, because the culture was fucking with my head.

Then I did the Mastodons for two years or so, with Lemmy eventually entering the mix. And then as Lemmy got more users and content, it took over as my preferred platform.

Codeberg also does have Pages.

Still uses Git, but yeah.

When I was around 3 years old, me and my not much older brother decided to walk across town, where our mum was visiting relatives.

I was missing mummy, which was technically not an emergency, for which we were supposed to phone those relatives.
We had been raised very well, you see. 🙃

Codeberg recently held a translation event where projects could sign up, if they wanted help. You can still look at their resources here, or I guess, you can just pick out a project and start translating over here: https://translate.codeberg.org/

Depending on your file manager, you may be able to hold Shift while triggering the delete to get a hard delete.

Shift+Del is pretty much standardized as the keyboard shortcut. And here on KDE, I can hold Shift while clicking the “Move to Trash” menu entry, too (well, it actually replaces the menu entry with one for permanent deletion, but that’s effectively the same).

I mean, when you hold down the Alt key, it’s convention that GUI toolkits underline a letter in the text of UI elements, and when you then press Alt + that letter, it’ll activate that UI element.
That way, you can navigate most apps in a keyboard-driven fashion, although it is certainly not the most comfortable to use…

It’s this one: https://codeberg.org/trem/jot/

Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.

But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.

You can probably just do sleep 5 && grim as the program to run.

It depends on your desktop environment or window manager, how you’d bind a command to a keybind.

I’ve got various text files in Markdown format.

I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I’ve bound to a global shortcut, so it’s just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.

Netscape. Specifically the homophobe guy that’s now leading the Chromium-based browser Brave.

I’m being a jackass about it, because that was 28 years ago. You can’t say they should stop bloating the web and then bring up an example from before Google even existed.

Damn, I definitely won’t stop donating, if they’re this short on money, but that was basically my understanding of what they do, primarily advocacy.

Is MDN and the webstandards work also part of the Foundation? It certainly feels like it’d be more non-profit-y work. I guess, they do hold ownership of the Corporation, so they could also just tell the Corporation to deliver that.

But yeah, I’d like some increased messaging of what other work they do, or how much advocacy they can continue to do. Obviously, that’s not an insane number of employees left either way…

This is the Mozilla Foundation. They’re legally a non-profit, so this isn’t supposed to mean that they’re reconsidering their stance. They can’t do that. It’s rather just them saying “shit’s hard, yo”.

Pretty sure, Google is at the forefront of that endeavor. Apple has no interest in keeping up. And Mozilla needs to stay in the talks for whatever Google proposes to ensure the webstandard can be implemented by others.

I do not see why you think the Linux Foundation could stomp 500+ devs out of the ground and do a better job. That’s three times the size of the current Linux Foundation. Nevermind that the Linux Foundation is purely non-profit. Paying a living wage to that many devs is pretty much just not going to be possible.
