I think the best analogy is email. Email is built around standards, and it doesn’t matter if you use outlook or gmail. That’s similar to the fediverse (the standard) and knime/lemmy (the email providers in the analogy).

I’m out of the loop I think, what’s wrong with cloudflare?

3M has known for half a century[1] that the effects of PFAS are dangerous, yet ignored the danger. The parallels with the fossil fuel industry (climate change) is noteworthy here. There’s other industries that come to mind; tobacco and pharma for instance. Until these companies and the people responsible are truly held (criminally) accountable, instead of given a slap on the wrist (i.e., cost of doing business fines), nothing will change.

I don’t get a lot of the negative sentiment here. To me Firefox is vastly superior to Chrome. Mozilla refactored and optimized performance years ago, which fixed many issues I had back then. It’s open source, not driven by the interest of gathering data for the purpose of selling ads. I’ve set it up in exactly the way I like with some extensions and customizations that aren’t possible in the Google browser. I can have hundreds and hundreds of tabs open without my computer grinding down to a halt. Is it perfect and aren’t there things that can be improved? No. But it’s pretty near to me.

I only wish the would bring back the ability to have notes for bookmarks.
