Depending on the use, vim or neovim and the Mies colour scheme because of some modern syntax stuff like git

If they’re requesting contact I’d be very cautious. Perhaps try checking the company leak on haveibeenpwned? Can’t be too careful nowadays, lots of very targeted stuff going around

Had to look those up. That gear looks bloody awesome. Would love to see them in action if you by chance still own it! 150W on AM!! Good old tubes! Bet that sounds bloody fantastic.

Was always jealous of the amount of power you guys can run over there... The yanks used to BOOM in to Aus

This is a great thread lol you can scroll and be reminded of how old we are! Ask Jeeves was also a reasonably helpful gentleman (tbh ahead of it's time! converting human readable phrases into search queries!)

Absolutely agreed. Certainly think Mozilla could have done a better job at communicating, but hey, I think most people who don't read headlines about poor interpretations of legalese are still quite happy with their browser :)

It's refreshing to see someone not over exaggerating the recent happenings at Firefox!!

I honestly go back to i3 sometimes just so I can use a chromium browser. Unfortunately it doesn't like nvidia cards under wayland :(

Got you mate. I probably wouldn't want to develop in the ESR version then lol. If it were me and was just for dev I'd just make it easy on myself and use the dev version. If you're running a custom extension you could always look into signing it yourself

You could run Firefox ESR with betterfox.js. I believe the ESR version allows unsigned extensions out of the box

To be honest, you're probably better off using vanilla Firefox with betterfox.js and uBlock at this stage of the game. The whole fingerprinting thing is a little misleading in some ways: there are so many more ways to fingerprint you purely as a result of how browsers actually work

So YOU'RE webdriver torso!!

Very cool mate, this is one of my favourites.

NextDNS sounds good for your case. You can have separate profiles for the youngins. It’s always been reliable for me and has a faster DNS than Cloudflare in my location. Give it a whirl, the free tier is very generous
