Why I use #Firefox


  1. The about:config page
  2. Mozilla cannot decrypt my data on their servers
  3. Translating web pages is also completely private
  4. Mozilla develops their own browser engine
  5. The best support for extensions on #Android
  6. A great picture-in-picture player


I #trust #Mozilla more than I trust #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, or any other company that makes #web browsers. This trust is based on the fact that Mozilla chooses the highest level of user privacy when developing services such as Firefox Sync, Firefox Translate, and others. A web browser is an integral part of a person’s #online life, so it makes sense to choose a #browser from a company that one trusts the most.

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.

Day 36 of #100DaysOfRust

Oh well, now I've moved on from "Hello, world!" in #development with #Rust to a simple form #web page. In that sense I've learned a lot, although very slowly, because I'm not mentally fit today. I still learn a lot every time I do the #RustLang. Well, then I'll configure the #Helix editor first so that I like it and it's easy for me to use 🧬🦀

Day 35 of #100DaysOfRust

Today I didn't make as much progress as I would have liked in learning #Rust. I was recommended to change the #web framework (see comments from Toot above), I followed the tip! So I only have a rudimentary understanding of #RustLang, I had to read up on it, whether it was me or not I don't know - thanks a lot @mo8it for your help! I have at least typed "Hello, world!" and run it correctly. Albeit slowly, but progress is being made🦀

Day 31 && 32 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I was only able to learn a little more, but I finished a chapter. Today I finished a chapter in which I set up a very simple #web server using #Rust. It's really exciting and I was able to deepen my knowledge of #RustLang. It's really fun and #motivated me. Of course, learning is not finished after the basic course, but it prepares you to learn in practice and expand your knowledge 🦀

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."

What the hell?? This is so creepy.

So did I mention that no company or government pays me for the work I do?

But you can support my work if you want to live in a world where we have the Small Web as an alternative to the Big Web of Google, Facebook, and other people farmers.

You wouldn’t have McDonald’s teaching your kids about nutrition or Philip Morris teaching them about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Why are you happy having a surveillance capitalist like Google or Facebook teaching them about technology?

Hello Fediverse friends! My partner, who has total 16 years of experience in software in an impressive array of various technologies, is looking for new opportunities. What he's looking for:
- #Rust (#web or #embedded or anything really)
- 100% #remote in Germany or hybrid in #Berlin
- German employment contract
- meaningful work (no nonsense like web3, cars, or gambling)

Do you know anyone hiring for positions that would fulfill those expectations? #FediHire #FediJobs


A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

* The "Manifest v3" sabotage of content blocking extensions: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/10/23131029/mozilla-ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manifest-v3-web-request
* The attempted sabotage of #JPEGXL: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/chrome-banishes-jpeg-xl-photo-format-that-could-save-phone-space/
* #WebEnvironmentIntegrity a.k.a. #DRM for whole websites would hurt the web, #opensource browsers and OSes: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/googles-web-integrity-api-sounds-like-drm-for-the-web/

What happens if #Gmail decides only #Chrome users can access it? Well, that's what #Google's new API would do if its new DRM for the #web moves ahead.

Now all #twitter t.co links are blocked by twitter login. All #links we ever shared via twitter can not be followed anymore without signing in to twitter, no matter where in the #WWW they point to. Twitter put a gate in front of our links by "shortening" them and now they locked the gate. We never should have given them such power. #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web

The degree to which #Web20 companies sought to colonize the #Web never seizes to amaze me.

A hashtag is the fundamental unit of Web Magic, once understood. Basically, name things using hyperlinks (ideally, #HTTP variety) and connectivity magic happens, at Web-scale.

The #Fediverse itself is the latest demonstration of said magic, courtesy of #ActivityStreams 😀

I'm pessimistic about the chances of a federated Twitter gaining and sustaining wide adoption. But I could be wrong, and I'd love to be wrong. So in the spirit of contributing rather than just whining, I wrote up a few thoughts.

Don't let federation make the experience suck.

I am in the process of resurrecting my #website, Heptagrama. I am going to place a updates about that now and then. Today, I want to report that the redesigned template is 100% ready.

Estoy en proceso de resucitar mi #web, Heptagrama. Colocaré algunas actualizaciones aquí de cuando en cuando. Hoy quiero reportar que la plantilla del rediseño está 100% lista.


I need a server OS that basically maintains itself (automatic updates… ideally automatic rollback on failure but at least manual rollback support).

So I’m looking into Fedora CoreOS but very few VPS hosts seem to support it (wish Hetzner did… that would be ideal for me).

The other one I’m considering is OpenSuse MicroOS.

Any other suggestions? Ideally ones supported by at least one VPS provider with speedy instance setup + an API.

The "old days" WWW was better. People gathered good #web pages in lists, bookmarks and directories. Search engines did help a lot, but it is a pity how, as they dominated the world, those small lists were abandoned. Social media sites are not the same. They do not even get close.

The #web is not ready for #4K #screens yet.


Wishlist to the #web: link to a page about a topic whenever you talk about it. Sadly, #mastodon is part of the problem here with its stance against user set hyperlinks. @silwol

I was looking for a specific track on the Deus Ex (2000) soundtrack to solve an ear worm. I've owned the game on a CD-ROM in a previous life, but I don't have it anymore, and the soundtrack album copy I had on my computer got wiped with the rest of my downloaded music somewhere between computer changes.

Thankfully I've found a personal rework of it on the SnakeByte Studios website, a personal blog like there are fewer these days. Mixing music projects and video game logs and mods, this website is a testament to an Internet era long past.

I'm glad I found the track again, but I'm even happier to have found this website for the shot of nostalgia. I'm still hosting my own blog, but I only write there the sparse long articles I can't resolve to publish on social media directly.

Rock on, Snake, your blog is amazing, at least for still standing tall in 2020.
