You can’t put terms of service on a web page and bind people to it. Otherwise I could put up a site somewhere and say everyone who reads this owes me a dollar.

The terms are only enforceable when they are presented to the user before they use the software. My copy of Librewolf doesn’t present any terms to me so I am not bound by anything other than the redistribution license.

IANAL but all this is pretty common sense. You can’t add terms by posting them where the user wouldn’t see them. And Librewolf explains very clearly that it is not Firefox and is not a Mozilla product.

Top notch skills. I didn’t get that one, but anything after production season 4 I have trouble with.

Any company Elon Musk is the owner of.

I think Google is neck and neck with Microsoft these days. Which is crazy given the past 20 years.

Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you’re still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Yes, by law. Of course the business will abide by federal law before state law because federal law is supreme.

It’s a VPN within a VPN. So all your traffic over the Mullvad VPN connection has a VPN within it going to Proton (but only for Firefox).

To answer the questions directly:

1. Yes, but not exactly. Everything goes through Mullvad, but Firefox goes through Proton going through Mullvad.
2. No, they’ll just see the Proton information.
3. It slows down your connection! That’s a lot more extra hops. Practically…I suppose if the “inner VPN” was necessary to connect to a specific host (like a work VPN) then it could be useful. For example you use Mullvad on your router, but your work laptop uses a VPN to connect to resources needed to do your work. Other than that I can’t see why you’d need to use 2 at the same time.

I actually stumbled upon this the other day. I might make a project out of it.

Thanks for sharing.

The mouse I use on this computer is from the mid-2000s. Just in the past week or so it’s losing clicks. I will have to get a new one and I’m ruing it.

It’s this one if anyone cares.

Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?

This has come up on Mastodon as well. Mastodon has a default server, which is mastodon.social. It’s somewhat controversial. I think it’s helped adoption but it’s also putting the ecosystem more under Mastodon gGmbH’s thumb…which is not great. I myself am on mastodon.social because it seemed like a sane default. I’d have chosen differently if I knew what I know now.

I’m not as plugged into what the defaults are for Lemmy or if there even are any. I’m sure there is room for improvement, but it is fair to say there are a lot of people who willfully refuse to understand how federated software works and act like it’s so complicated that no mortal can possibly understand it.

Can we do a lot more to help people who wish to join decentralized social media? Yes, absolutely. Should we give people shit for acting like choosing a server is so hard and confusing that they’d rather be on fascist-aligned platforms? Also yes.

You could also check with a junk yard to see what they’ll give you for it. I had a similar situation a few years back. They mostly wanted it for the catalytic converter, but I got a few hundred dollars for it. That will be, by far, the easiest way to go. The more convenient it is, the less money you’re going to get.

I hate to break the news to you but Bitcoin and Etherium are worth real money for exactly the same reason as meme coins.

It’s meme coins all the way down.

There is a new version of OpenWRT to install. Also the dog I will dog sit for in June is coming over to visit and meet my cats.

Yes, but no one can get fabulously rich off this.

“I have to see a man about a horse.”

It means you’re going to the bathroom.

It doesn’t. Might have been New Brunswick. Or I just made it up somehow. I can’t remember where I saw it.

Yeah similar to that.

My understanding is that some province is charging double on US commercial trucks that cross the border. Nova Scotia?
