    #Firefox has too much going on for a default install. Home screen widgets, AI and other things. You need to disable quite a few things in settings to make it focus on browsing. #Librewolf is too restrictive for a normal person to use. Again can be changed in settings but default experience is not ideal for normal web browsing.
    I have found #waterfox to be a good middle ground, has sane settings for privacy and can be used straightaway for normal web browsing and video watching.

    Personally, I use #Waterfox and #ZenBrowser. But between the two you mentioned, I'd use #Librewolf since they don't include AI in their browser.

  11. The Programmer’s Fulcrum 21 August, 2026

    This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]

  12. Du nouveau chez Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    Tous les modules d'« AmphiCalc-1 » destinés au calcul et à la classification des amphiboles ont été révisés. La saisie des valeurs pour déterminer la teneur en Fe₂O₃ et calculer les valences a été améliorée et simplifiée. Les calculs sont désormais effectués directement lors de la saisie. De plus, la valeur recherchée peut maintenant être déterminée plus rapidement à l'aide d'un curseur.

    Malheureusement, il y a des problèmes avec les navigateurs basés sur Chromium (par exemple Vivaldi). Firefox et ses dérivés fonctionnent. Désolé ! Je vais essayer de régler ce problème dès que possible.

  13. News from Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    All components of “AmphiCalc-1” used for the calculation and classification of amphiboles have been revised. The process of entering values to determine the Fe₂O₃ content and calculate valences has been improved and simplified. Calculations are now performed immediately as values are entered. In addition, the desired value can now be determined more quickly using a slider.

    Unfortunately, there are issues with Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Vivaldi). Firefox and its derivatives work fine. Sorry! I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

  14. Neues von Minetosh online (minetoshsoft.com):

    Alle Teile von "AmphiCalc-1" zur Berechnung und Klassifizierung von Amphibolen wurden überarbeitet. Die Eingabe von Werten zur Bestimmung des Fe₂O₃-Gehaltes und zur Berechnung der Valenzen wurde verbessert und vereinfacht. Berechnungen werden jetzt direkt bei der Eingabe durchgeführt. Außerdem lässt sich der gesuchte Wert nun mittels eines Schiebereglers schneller ermitteln.

    Leider gibt es Probleme mit Chromium-basierten Browsern (z.B. Vivaldi). Firefox und Derivate funktionieren. Sorry! Ich versuche, das so schnell wie möglich zu reparieren.

    FOSS NEWS

    MidnightBSD 4.0.4 Released With Aged & Agectl For Age Verification/Attestation:
    phoronix.com/news/MidnightBSD-
    (I wonder what the heck is going on in the project that they didn't want to comply, and then they suddenly do... Hopefully it won't happen to more currently non-compliant projects)

    GhostBSD says no to age verification, but will probably comply with age attestation laws:
    forums.ghostbsd.org/d/793-free
    (Now that's pretty sad, GhostBSD was one of the systems I would consider if I ever decided to switch to BSD. I'll stay on Linux because there are quite a few distros who openly oppose this nonsense, but I'd like to see at least one BSD system fully opposing just in case)

  16. Servo 2025 Stats

    On this curve we clearly see the drop in contributions following the abandon by Mozilla and the incredible rise since.

    2023 was already a better year than 2020, and it was x3 in 2025 compared to Mozilla's period. A beautiful square-root shaped curve : √

    Ok it's not ready yet, but a lot of people are rushing toward this goal.
