How have influencers impacted the software world? (self.linux)
 

Personally I don't watch videos on software (except for skimming tutorials) since I prefer to learn about topics with written tutorials or Reddit. Software influencers have been on the rise for the past several years, everything from grifters claiming they can help you start an SWE career, to ones that make tutorials and showcases on software.

I'm more interested in hearing about the later. I came across found this discussion: What can we learn from Neovim’s rise in popularity? : emacs, with comments claiming that Youtubers like ThePrimeagen have helped a lot with making Neovim popular. I crossposted it to r/neovim and many so far many users there said that they found Neovim through ThePrimeagen's videos.

Solved: It turns out I needed to add https:// to the redirect URL. I now edited the redirect to be this:

{
    "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
    "createdAt": "2024-12-25T00:25:04.487Z",
    "redirects": [
        {
            "description": "sh.reddit.com submission page",
            "exampleUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true",
            "exampleResult": "https://sh.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true",
            "error": null,
            "includePattern": "https://.*?reddit.com/((r|u|user)/.*?/submit.*)",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "",
            "redirectUrl": "https://sh.reddit.com/$1",
            "patternType": "R",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame"
            ]
        }, 
    ]
}

Using the Redirector addon, I wrote a redirect from a Reddit submit page to the new new Reddit submit page but it doesn't work when I go to https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/ and click "submit text", it just takes me to https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true despite the link working in the example box.

Reproduction: Install the addon, save the following as a json file, click on addon icons and select "edit redirects", then click import to select the json file.

{
"createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
"createdAt": "2024-12-22T15:43:42.356Z",
"redirects": [
{
"description": "sh.reddit.com submission page",
"exampleUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/r/tds_roblox/submit",
"exampleResult": "sh.reddit.com/r/tds_roblox/submit",
"error": null,
"includePattern": "[a-z]+?:\\/\\/.+?reddit.com\\/((r|u|user)\\/.+?\\/submit.*?$)",
"excludePattern": "",
"patternDesc": "",
"redirectUrl": "sh.reddit.com/$1",
"patternType": "R",

Mozilla partners with Ecosia for a better web (blog.mozilla.org)
 

Illustration of overlapping browser windows with Ecosia's logo, a tree graphic, Firefox's logo, and the text "Together for a better web," alongside a search bar with a green cursor.

Your tech choices matter more than ever. That’s why at Mozilla, we believe in empowering users to make informed decisions that align with their values. In that spirit, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Ecosia, a search engine that prioritizes sustainability, and social impact.

Did you know you could choose the search engine of your choice right from your Firefox URL bar? Whether you prioritize privacy, climate protection, or simply want a search experience tailored to your preferences, we’ve got you covered.

Ecosia goes beyond data protection by addressing environmental concerns. Every search made through the search engine contributes to tree-planting projects worldwide, helping to combat deforestation and regenerate the planet. Ecosia planted over 215 million trees, across the planet biodiversity hotspots, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. Just like Mozilla, they are committed to creating a better internet, and world, for everyone.

Together, Mozilla, Firefox and Ecosia are contributing to a web that is more open and inclusive, but above all — one where you can make an informed choice about what tech you use and why. Your tech choices make a difference.

As Firefox and Mozilla continue to champion user empowerment and innovation, we invite you to join us in shaping a web that makes the world better. Together, let’s make a positive impact — one search at a time.

TIL SimpeLogin has limits for how many accounts you can make for a single site in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 7 points 7 months ago

This is on my paid account.

SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain

On SimpeLogin, How do I get past this when creating aliases? I waited 30 mins and it still shows in c/privacy
[–] TheTwelveYearOld -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I just tried it on the Tor Browser and I still get the error, I'm gonna wait a day to see if its just a rate limit, because I've prolly created dozens of aliases today as I've been changing all my account emails.

I don't use Tor as my default browser because the Tor circuits are slower and not necessary for my threat model.

[email protected]: Is it possible to install Firefox addons in Thunderbird? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?

I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

You can change the density of Firefox's UI in about:config by setting "browser.uidensity" between 0 to 2, and it applies immediately! in c/firefox
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 1 points 7 months ago

I'm long past that, I've gotten LOTS of downvotes from cross-posting to too many Firefox communities, because they show up in the feed multiple times for users I think.

Yeah personally I set the tab height in my userChrome file

[email protected]: Does Firefox block websites from uploading data that could be used for fingerprinting like resolution, installed fonts, etc.? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

But couldn't the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?

[email protected]: Are there any privacy issues with keeping camera or mic access on for iOS apps? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it's not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can't be disabled.

[email protected]: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox? in c/firefox
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Would u know how I could randomize (constantly change) my fingerprint?

[email protected]: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 5 points 7 months ago

You're absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I'm not gonna do that with privacy either, I'm focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.

[email protected]: Caching frequently downloaded / used page assets? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheTwelveYearOld 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Firefox changes the capacity dynamically, I set browser.cache.disk.capacity to false in about:config and browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1024000 (the storage amount in MBs)
