@chirpbirb Thunderbird has always been the Cinderella stepchild of the Mozilla family. Needing to download, store, index, and search every article of IMAP mail in advance instead of on the user's command is just one more reason why. :<

How do you feel about any site being able to call `document.browsingTopics()`to learn all about you?

This is probably the closest thing to actual journalism I've ever done.

You know the "creator-owned" streaming service Nebula? The one that content creators frequently refer to as "my streaming service Nebula" when advertising it?

Something about that always felt off to me so I did some digging to find the actual ownership structure of the company.

🏳️‍🌈 PRIDE IS EVERY DAY 🏳️‍🌈

So there's an anti-LGBTQIA+ list of queer games out there, and today I found out Hypnospace is on it. First of all what an honor tysm!!!! So I did what any far-left-queer-socialist-cat-dad would do and stole it and turned it into a positive!

Enjoy this list of over 700 (!!!) games that make creeps just so so angwy - plz do read the disclaimer at the top:

@xssfox The most unexpected pitfall of following furries in any computing field is figuring out whether a specialized word is tech jargon or furry speak.

So, would y'all believe I only just now noticed the Cohost financial implosion news? Day jobs are fun sometimes. Anyway, I'm still paying comfortably out of pocket for this instance in the Mastodon network, and it'll stay that way until I finally get off my rear and put out a tip jar or two for all you good fairy folks.

@nixCraft Because I grew up on dialects of Basic that either limited variable names to 2 characters or ignored name differences after the 2nd character, and "I" meant "index."

uspol, 9/11, oblivious disrespect 

The Socorro County Republican Party headquarters is proudly flying three flags today, but none of them are the Red White and Blue of the USA's national ensign.

Instead, one of them is an impostor standing in for the Stars and Stripes, one whose colors ran or surrendered, bisected by the thin blue line of police state authoritarianism, and saying "blue lives matter" as if the Black lives ended by cops didn't.

@mcc @leo You’re welcome.
Sponsored and nonsponsored suggestions can be disabled in about:config.

browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.sponsored
browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.nonsponsored

If those are set to true, then double-click to change to false.

Also, I changed this to false:

browser.preferences.experimental

I didn’t check the code so I’m not sure if it was removed or disabled, but Firefox Labs, including the AI chatbot junk, is gone now.

Two additional, minor notes:

- Firefox appears to have some problems with preferences occasionally resetting to defaults. I've spoken to two people who encountered this (and I believe one is maus I linked above). I am going to assume this is a regular bug and not an anti-privacy policy decision.

- If you are outside the USA, and want to preemptively disable address bar "sponsored suggestions" in case they're ever turned on in your area, instructions are here mas.to/@FizzyDaisies/113099538
