Yeah but I hate showing up, and doing things…

And the possibility of fucking up is pretty much the root of my concern.

Not sure how this helps.

Yeah, leaving one authoritarian shithole where you have no rights for another authoritarian shithole where you have no rights isn’t what I imagine most scientists are looking for.

I am simply following my programming.

Or you could… Press the disable AI button… The one Firefox added shortly after users pushed back on the added AI ‘features’…

There are people that use Firefox who also get served ads?

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn’t the WTF. When you’re working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn’t be). The company wants to maintain it’s security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.

It’s not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn’t some mega shady weird thing.

Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I’ve never really had an issue with Firefox performance.

Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I’ll notice from the browser level. And I’m happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.
