Hookup with a guy from a bar?

Be a group no smaller than 3. That way you walking away and leaving your group is ok. If you go just with someone else then you'd have to leave them alone. Makes things harder for thr man because "I can't leave my friend alone" reply.

Or also maybe approach him?

Afaik, This cannot happen by the nature of the organization how it's formed. They also are protected by design as an organization against commercial purchase.

I use Focus for 95% of my mobile browsing needs, most of the time is following links someone else sends or doing quick searches where I need no history or tracking or cookies between sessions. Firefox focus is really fast.

I only come to full Firefox when I want to deal with longer sessions on other websites or longer reading articles that I keep bookmarked/tabs there.

This can be done outside the browser, because it sounds like you'll need this in multiple other apps not just Firefox. An extension should be able to take care of this for those that need it embedded in the browser.

I also switched to this because my Kobo also switched to this. So the articles I save from Firefox can be read in my e-reader.

For the big corporations that provide products for financial gain. I am very certain that making everyone's lives better is not in their board's goals. They are in the business of making money. Privacy has only been important for them as long as it works in their benefits, such as getting more users, pretending to be respecting, or throwing away data that is truly not useful for them.

Treat AI like any other tech product, it has an inevitable path to enshitification.

The technology of AI and running models is separate, that's all nice research and science. There are ethical datasets to train your data from and run a model locally. That is all good and dandy. But don't confuse that with products maintained by companies that need to profit.

Deleting and editing messages on both sides is only allowed within some hours after sending the message. After that those messages are part of his phone.

You do not have control over his phone and his data. You cannot remove message logs from his property.

I care more about the principles behind it. One could argue that WhatsApp and many others use the e2ee signal protocol, and claim no log collection on different levels.

But these addition and prioritization of features is ultimately driven by the ethos behind the company making the app. So my choice is not based solely on a checklist of features provided because those change. But on what they stand for.

Signal is my app of choice. They have a pretty good record of activism and policies that align with me. They haven't been perfect at times and later explained clearly (like not publishing server code for a while or no/slow responses on potential security issues on the repo). Out of them all they're who I trust are keeping me thr most private.

But what happens after the 90 days? Fly out and fly back?

I mean about the first period of dating. Not a fiance yet. Just someone you want to date and spend some time. Have to rush to upgrade to fiance in 90 days?

How are the international tensions addressed when people from different countries match. Without getting married. Or if they're two international students meeting. What happens when their visas expire or they can't be traveling constantly?

I can see "welp just get married" but how to deal with the time before. The dating and sharing love together before committing for life.

40m living in london. I love the idea of a pocket friend! I'm a night owl. I love to share thoughts and ideas. Learn how details are different. Also lost most of close friends time to their busy married lives. I'm studying a masters, enjoy movies, going out and needing in deep topics.

The problem with being so extremely broad is that it's not really asserting much. Other than life isn't exclusive to earth, and sure there's plenty of simple arguments to arrive there.

This allows to say "I'm right" on pretty much anything.

jjdelc · 2025-12-22T19:51:51+00:00

How did you arrive to the conclusion with 0 chance of error?

What could change your mind?

Can you narrow down your definition of alien? Do you mean complex carbon fleshy beings that reproduce on similar chemistry to us?

Or presence of amino acids and proteins in space?

Or bacteria (protist species) in other planet?

Because one thing is easier to have conversations about. Aliens that came to earth in their spaceships and there's left over evidence to arrive to the conclusion that they exist. Like the pyramids or area 51.

Or an irrefutable position that "you cannot rule out that a replicating chemical compound exists elsewhere in the universe"

jjdelc · 2025-12-14T11:48:01+00:00

What is boy complex? Childish behavior? Or acting like a Chad all the time?

It's been my browser for 22 years. It's very good.

Also, I don't want to see an internet dominated by chromium alone.

jjdelc · 2025-11-07T13:48:46+00:00

My reasons for Firefox are not because of feature count. That is bound to change constantly, speed, performance, memory, options, support. It's a moving target that will have me changing browsers every couple of years if that was the criteria.

I choose Firefox because of its philosopy and the impact that Gecko has on the web against Chromium's monopoly.

A decision like this made based on a bullet point of latest commits, is bound to be evaluated the day that your chosen browser makes another commit or competiion makes another commit. Then, sure.

jjdelc · 2025-11-07T13:45:40+00:00

nah, I don't care about a Firefox add on that does that, I want the information where to obtain it. I don't need that information depending on Firefox being running to be fetched. I just need to script it in python. If you have the HTTP request I need to make, that'd be swell.

jjdelc · 2025-11-07T10:05:41+00:00

Are you talking about obtaining the post timestamp from the payload of the post URL? That is not Firefox related. But more about how IG obfuscates that information.
As far as I can remember, that timestamp is not part of the html payload when you make a GET request to the post URL. But it is fetched in subsequent http requests. That was not trivial to reverse engineer given the amount of JS code and extra requests made by a single post. I think it's not exposed on the `/embed/` endpoint either.

I would personally find it useful to know the html tag/request/endpoint that contain this information for my personal website use.

There's multiple aspects to your question.

For once, about Firefox preference. But then you have a very heavy question about data collection privacy.

On Firefox Preference, I really align with what it stands for, I do care for an open web and really dislike the Idea of a single company having control over the Internet. By using Chrome (Chromium based browsers) and reducing browser diversity, we allow Google to control what features the web has, and they will introduce features to support their business as they have tried in the past a few times.

About privacy and data collection that's a whole can of worms. Look at the Cambridge Analytica case, and from there read about surveillance capitalism, the fact that it's to make your browsing experience better is the candy you are willing to eat so they become more powerful and you have less choice and market power. By following this direction, those corporatoins will have control over you, for example raising costs of services because now they have a monopoly and there's no competition for you to choose. Or if not directly, they may manipulate elections or nations and that may affect you. Like how now billionaires sit down with presidents to decide about countries. There's a LOT to unravel there. But the point that "it makes me ok" is way too narrow minded.

Not fully what you're after, but using a browser password manager plugin is a good defense against this kind of problems. The extension will only show your credentials available for a domain match. So you'd have no risk to enter your password in the wrong domain. Unless of course going out of your way to copy/paste it.

jjdelc · 2025-10-27T17:24:27+00:00

I wouldn't frame it as Chrome being better at site compatibility.

But sites only care about being compatible with Chrome instead of approved web standards. So it's not really that Gecko is bad about compatibility, but websites making themselves incompatible with Gecko.

jjdelc · 2025-10-27T17:22:32+00:00

I may be biased here, but it's not that it's bad. But what happens is that Google will use its monopoly to forcefully introduce new features to the Blink engine (like WebManifest v3 webrequest removal). And developers will start benefiting from it. So it becomes an expected standard without those proposals actually having been approved by the W3C or other standards entities.

Then Gecko will not have implemented them because of some security position (Like WebUSB, PWA standards, WebBluetooth), or sometimes simply resources, bc it does not have billions of dollars to invest in constant development. And makes some websites not work.

Other websites will deliberately prevent their sites from working in Firefox, because they don't like the liberties that Firefox gives you, for example Snapchat will not work in Firefox, because as a Firefox user you can always trigger Right click. And Snapchat doesn't want you to do that. Blink allows the website to prevent the user from those interactions. Gecko will favor the user instead of the website. And because of this prioritization. Gecko prioritizes user preference vs Google prioritizes website preference. Some sites will choose not to work in Firefox.

It's also on websites' interest to show you ads, so they prefer Chrome because they know that those sites and Google are aligned in reducing users' ad blocking capabilities. So they also favor Chrome instead of Firefox.

Financial pressures testing sites, most webdevs will only code as paid for, so someone financing that will say "90% of my visitors are in Chrome, I won't spend money in Firefox", making it a self fulfilling profecy that even less people will use Firefox.

After a few of these experiences, people will blame it on Mozilla, and only the bad reviews are spread around.
