On Wednesday we shared that we’re introducing a new Terms of Use (TOU) and Privacy Notice for Firefox. Since then, we’ve been listening to some of our

I was thinking about all the DOGE cuts recently and made me wonder: have they hit USPTO?
I suspect that if Elon hit this, he'd likely get kicked in the nuts from all the businesses that rely on it to protect their profits.
RFK, and the people that worship him, would rather have a dead child than a child with autism.
That's how fucked up they are.
This isn't about parental choice. This is about oppression.

Ease of use shouldn't be confused with ease of setup.
I use discord every day but I am not a gamer so my use case is different.
Schools had to set up classes quickly and use a platform that provided the least amount of friction for students. They likely figured out most kids were familiar with discord over zoom.
I never heard of schools using Discord but it doesn't sound like a good idea. And again, I say this as someone who likes Discord. Using an app that's primarily for gamers and adding school to it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
There are five possibilities:
- Trump was given this as proof that the guy is really a gang member, didn't ask if it was fake, presented it without vetting it
- Trump ordered someone to find proof that he's in a gang and someone gave it to him as proof
- Trump ordered someone to create proof that he's in a gang
- Trump was given this as proof, he asked if it was fake, and was told the truth, and presented it anyway
- Trump was given this as proof, asked if it was fake, was lied to, and presented it
All of these have problems.
If they keep clutching those pearls any harder, they're going to get carpel tunnel.
Damn drama queens.

Maryland senator says Kilmar Abrego Garcia was traumatized in El Salvador after mistaken deportation
Democrats keep thinking diplomacy will work against Republicans. It didn't work on J6, it didn't work for 4 years under Biden.
I don't think so. I just rewatched it. It's the one where Data finds out something to make himself more human. Picard tells him something profound and moving.
The one where there's a problem with the holodeck.
Tbf, Virginia has an absolutely terrible flag. State seal on a blue back drop?
Come on.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
[defined] illegal entry as occurring when an “unauthorized” alien of at least 18 years of age “knowingly enters or attempts to enter” the state after eluding immigration inspection. The crime is designated as a first-degree misdemeanor subjecting the alien to a mandatory minimum prison sentence of nine months upon conviction.
Basically tourist are fine.
But let's not kid ourselves here. Florida was always going to use this law for the lower half of the Family Guy skin chart.
No. Only if you're his obedient wife.
They'll deport you if you're American Indian.
This is one of the hardest things to let go of when I was a people leader. It's a lesson I've had to teach myself that if I do it, I deprive other people from learning and growing, even if it takes twice as long.
I'm there to help and guide, and not do the work because I am only one person.
It's an uncomfortable position but it's something every leader needs to be okay with.
I'd say the crime he committed was thinking Trump would keep his promise even after bribing him.
How anyone can trust this motherfucker is beyond me.
The fact that he is saying that he can't "go after" them is probably a good thing until someone reminds him that he's literally king and can do whatever he wants.
I'm a Taylor Swift fan (not a Swifty) but I'm 100% with you.
I pirate her music (tbf all music). I've gotten into heated arguments on Lemmy on how she's one of the "good" ones.
No such thing as a good billionaire.
Is there a way to conditionally block or allow notifications?
Ever since we've gone to hybrid working, I've been having to deactivate work notifications and enable game notifications back and forth and it's driving me nuts.
I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and would like a way to allow app notifications to come through based on a variable that I can control. At my disposal I have Tasker and Home Assistant but can't find a way to perform automations to enable or disable specific app notifications.
Is there a way to do this? I have to imagine other people have this problem.
-- Sent from Waterfox
I've migrated both of my profiles on my Linux Mint desktop to Waterfox. I installed from tar which allows me to more easily integrate with Keepass -- Details in this thread. If you're using Keepass Browser integration, you'll need to install this way. But if you use a different password manager, you should be fine with flatpak or whatever your system uses for package management.
Migration from Firefox did not work -- I suspect this is a limitation on Waterfox as I also tried migration within Windows. I did attempt a straight profile copy, which did not work. While history, cookies, etc. looked like they came over fine, extensions struggled and it was hard to tell whether they actually were migrated.
So unfortunately, it's not an easy transition and it will be highly manual. Backup your bookmarks, passwords, etc. and import them. This also means any customization you made on addons (e.g. ublock origin settings, etc) will need to be i
How do I get KeepassXC to work on Waterfox via flatpak?
I'm slowly piece mealing my way to Waterfox this weekend. One issue I've had is getting KeepassXC working.
I suspect this is more of a flatpak thing than a Waterfox thing. I'm not familiar with flatpak enough to know where I need to go to get it to work. If you have suggestions, let me know.
Right now I'm copying and pasting.
Mozilla's updated Terms of Use
TL;DR:
- "all rights" has been replaced with "rights necessary"
- Overall language of "operate Firefox" still remains, with a link to their Privacy Notice.
- "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" remains, but is explicitly limited to "the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox"
- Removed references to their Acceptable Use Policy
Details from a developer and FOSS advocate POV:
This is not enough.
Mozilla has yet to comment on why this change was necessary, outside of some vague "legally we have to" language. While these updated Terms shift more control back to the user, it's simply not enough. The only reason Mozilla would need any sort of license from the user is if they are going to be doing something with it on their systems. Any local use is and continues to be fully covered by the Mozilla Public License, which is the current license used by Firefox.
The MPL includes an indemnity and lia

Bank of America will (stop|continue to) Accept $1 bills
Which is it?!
This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.
Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.
I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.
It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.
Did Biden ever release Trump's Resolute Letter?
I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.
It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.
RIP fmovies. Long live sudo
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
Is fmovies down for everyone??
I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.
Anyone else having issues?
Self-Hosted (or github pages hosted) "clipboard"?
Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.
At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.
I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.
What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click
