@nixCraft the tor experience

@nixCraft Alpine Linux.

@eff Like with all other EFF-created websites, it's REALLY well-polished. I don't even know where to begin...

@eff I have been saying this for so long, but people never seem to understand. The PSTN, as of its current implementation, is not trustworthy at all.

@nixCraft This just sounds like a classic case of Red Hat coming up with a solution in search of a problem and then pushing it on other distributions. This isn't anything new.

You can already jump from UEFI to the Linux kernel without GRUB; this is a solved problem.

@eff certbot is an eff project? I thought it was created by let's encrypt...

@pixelfed why is it on an unofficial F-Droid repository?

@SwindlerOfInsanity @fsf This is why I hate it when people say things like "[name of some free software program] SUCKS!!!"

You have the power to improve it! That's the entire point!

@fsf there's an FSF Jitsi server?!?!?!?!?!?!

@nixCraft I do the exact opposite 🥴

@nixCraft I had to deal with that error once 💀

@nixCraft I already daily-drive Firefox. :)

@nixCraft hate to ruin the fun, but:

- That's not open-source. Don't believe me? Read the definition for yourself: https://opensource.org/osd/

- It's not actually the real source code.

- A lot of EULAs actually don't allow reverse-engineering, so to do it legally you would have to fall under one of the situations where the law would override that (iirc security research is one of them)

@fsf I did my part and emailed the FTC about it, giving a detailed explanation of why Web Environment Integrity is a bad idea and cannot be allowed to exist. I also linked to several other articles on it, including the one on defectivebydesign.org.

I also use Firefox.

@fsf I really like jitsi :)

Not only does it actually respect user freedom, but it's simply better in general from a usability perspective.

@Gargron I have absolutely no idea

@nixCraft on Debian bookworm it's fast, but not THAT fast

@fsf @endDRM https://defectivebydesign.org/ is a great website. I have it bookmarked.
