Reporting it to Mozilla can still help. Firefox has a built-in list of sites to fake the user agent header for, reporting it could land this site on that list as well.

Hell yeah I used to love tux paint as a kid
Seems to me they responded to
I hope other technology companies try to aim for something similar
Which, according to them, they are.
Here’s the actual article: https://crocidb.com/post/kernel-adventures/demystifying-the-shebang/
They do link to it at least, but really, what is the point of this hackaday article
Man I would love to see the phoronix comments on this
change how one thing that they got down works and they’ll panic.
Like when they moved some settings out of control panel? Or when they changed the menu? Or when they changed what is shown in context menus?
(Talking about windows here btw)
I’m not saying people didn’t panic, but somehow they managed learning the new way just fine in these cases.
Protip: you can also block a lot of those by enabling some “annoyances” blocklists in uBlocks settings.
And while you’re there, take a look at all the other blocklists they don’t enable by default. You might find something useful to you.
Yep, same. The main thing Linux has taught me over the years is to keep good, regular backups of everything important.
I’ve lost way too much data already by fucking up grub somehow, or by accidentally letting windows overwrite the efi partition or some bullshit. I know how to recover from that now, but back in the day when I was doing dumb shit to my os pretty much every day, I didn’t.
That was all 100% my own fault btw
Yeah it doesn’t make any sense. They’re just blocking pretty big parts of the internet all at once, of which most was probably not even illegal content to begin with, and might have been actual legitimate businesses that are now blocked from selling anything online there.
Yes but AFAIK they have that right because they argued they were losing a lot of money to pirates.
Yeah I’m pretty sure Firefox won’t ask for or use your location, unless a website wants it for some reason (which is almost never a good one).
You’re not wrong, but that’s not the part they quoted :)
I thought Palantir made scandinavian power metal
Do you have a source for that? I can’t seem to find anything on their website, though judging by the past few release notes you’re absolutely right.
Edit: found this video. Kinda feel like this should be a big red banner on the front page though.
OK I think I see what you’re saying now:
If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.
I don’t see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they’re just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.
No, using Google makes Google money. That’s why they pay mozilla to be the default.
Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I have no idea what they’re talking about.
Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.
Those tools were made for pulseaudio, not pipewire, so it makes sense they worm the same. Don’t they have pipewire-specific versions of these tools?
Oh yeah, not just UA overrides but other fixes as well. You can see them at about:compat
