buc.ci is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Dear #network teachers, students and #hacker friends, I have a #browser based network simulator to enable learning #networking. Please have a look and tell me what do you think. Made for desktop or bigger screens.
https://howcomputer.works/netsim/ Everything is in the browser, and there is documentation.
The goal is to allow kids to start learning while their schools/systems are not big enough to be able to build lab networks. It has a small/minimal #curl implementation too. @bagder

In case you haven't heard yet, the European Court of Justice dismissed Google's appeal last week, which means that even if they tried to get away with it, they'll have to pay the €4.1 billion imposed by the European Commission in 2018. The lawsuit focused on Google abusing its dominance by requiring distributors of Android devices to bundle Google Search and Google Chrome.
This is why we don't stop at building a decent browser, but also go the extra mile and get involved in regulatory work. Having real choices it's crucial for a healthy market.
It's been three days since June ended...so if you're missing a little bit of rainbow in your life, here's a trick:
1. On Desktop, go to Settings
2. Write "biscuit" in the search field
3. Activate the checkbox that says "enable rainbow mode"
...et voilà! You'll now have a rainbow browser load bar 🌈
At Vivaldi, we have this saying: "when in doubt, make it a setting". We believe in user choice and we think nobody but you knows what's best for you.
But choice paralysis is a real thing too, which is why we've introduced layout presets that will make your life easier. With just a few clicks, you can compare different combinations of how your browser could look and feel, try them out, and choose the one that feels right for you.
And if none of the available presets is perfect for you...you're always welcome to create your own. 🤗
How to disable #Microsoft #Edge, step by step
#Brave #Origin zeigt sich als schlanker #Browser ohne Ballast
Brave hat mit #Brave_Origin einen interessanten Browser im Angebot, der auf überflüssige Extras verzichtet und sich klar auf #Privatsphäre und #Geschwindigkeit konzentriert. #Linux‑Nutzer können ihn kostenlos verwenden und sofort starten. Wer macOS oder Windows nutzt, wird jedoch mit einmalig 59,99 $ zur Kasse gebeten.
Origin entfernt viele Zusatzfunktionen des normalen Brave Browsers.
The mistake you maybe making is that you consider Firefox to be a browser.
A browser doesn't need hundreds and hundreds of Engineers to be maintained, a massive project with multiple use angles and cases does
Firefox does so many (bad) things you can almost consider it a mini operating system
A alpha level Operating System, riddled with security bugs
It's always fantastic to be able to go somewhere in dillo and just have fun, amazing yourself with a speed that pages load
Four easy steps to elevate your privacy & security this year:
Choose a privacy-respecting browser 🌐 test: https://privacytests.org/
Use a privacy-first search engine 🔎 (Startpage, DuckDuckGo, etc.) further reading: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/search-engines/?h=search+engine
Use privacy-respecting email 📧 (Proton, Tuta, self-hosted options) further reading: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

Czytam, że z wydaniem wersji 151 #Google #Chrome wyłączy już do końca (wcześniej były obejścia) możliwość korzystania z blockerów reklam, jak #uBlock Origin i podobne.
Kiedyś, kłopoty z blokowaniem reklam (ale nie tylko to) uśmierciły Internet Explorera.
Zastanawiam się, jaka będzie skala "odejść" od tej przeglądarki i na co osoby korzystające z Chrome ja zmienią. Dodam, że MS #Edge i #Opera deklarują podążanie za Google Chrome, więc w nich blokad reklam też nie będzie.
#Vivaldi? Chromium w wydaniach DeGoogled? #Cromite? Iron? Czy po prostu Lisek?
Bo w przyzwyczajenie się do reklam nie wierzę 😉
🚨🚨 BREAKING: Google Chrome to kill uBlock Origin for good 🚨🚨
Time to switch to #private #browser #alternatives
Which one do you use? 👇
- Mozilla Firefox
- DuckDuckGo Browser
- Mullvad Browser
- Zen Firefox
- Waterfox
- Pale Moon
Recommendation by the Tuta Team: https://tuta.com/blog/best-private-browsers
🌐 Many companies now block older browser versions from accessing their websites!
This follows many #browser makers ending updates 4 older operating systems, leaving legacy devices unable to use #web services without an #OS upgrade.
This kinda reminds me of the Java #website block by browsers a few years ago, just in reverse. (Revenge? ;)
Old #Android versions are also increasingly blocked from accessing the #Google #appstore.
Truly about security or perhaps Planned Obsolescence?
"Proprietary" means having owner(s). If the maintainers are the only ones allowed to introduce changes, they are establishing an ownership relationship over the codebase. I.e., it's a proprietary project, and that is the sense in which it's closed.
This is the destiny of most projects that go AI, in my opinion.

@_elena @cercle @palaisdetokyo @LeMuseum @imacrea Mastodon is doing everything to prevent me from doing what I want: expand a given post in a new tab:
1)CTRL-click wrongly overwrites current tab instead of opening a new one
2)CTRL-click on"Expand this post"in the"…"menu of the post wrongly overwrites current tab instead of opening a new one
3)When I try to work it around by duplicating the tab, the duplication takes ages and functions wrong - the position on the page is wrong, which causes data loss
4)When I try to work it around by CTRL-click and then CTRL-back, the CTRL-back takes ages and functions wrong - the position on the page is wrong, which causes data loss.
I feel contempt towards Mastodon when Mastodon is going out of its way in preventing me from using a standard browser semantics and all possible workarounds I can come up with. I perceive Mastodon as passive aggressive and obstructionist.

Webbrowser können Informationen durch SSD-Zugriffszeiten ausspähen
IT-Forscher haben mit „FROST“ einen Seitenkanalangriff demonstriert, bei dem Browser über SSD-Zugriffszeiten Informationen über das Nutzerverhalten ausspähen.
#Browser #Datenschutz #IT #JavaScript #Linux #macOS #Security #SSD #news
Grundsätzlich gefällt mir #Mastodon textbasiert im #Terminal zu nutzen und #tooi ist ein wirklich fähiges #Linux Tool dafür. Doch mein Filter, um die versteckte Diskriminierung von Frauen und eingeschränkt Sehenden auszublenden, funktioniert auf diesem Wege leider nicht.
Also doch wieder #Browser nutzen.
Deutsche Bahn: Keine Auskunft unter Linux
Die Deutsche Bahn sperrt Linux-User aus der Webseite aus, eine Fehlermeldung warnt vor Bot-Verdacht. User-Agent ändern hilft.
Looks like now we have something called Brave Origin
It's basically Brave browser without extra bloat like Ai, Reward, Telemetry, Crypto wallet etc. Available with a one time purchase. Free for Linux users.

#Mozilla #Firefox - Merkwürdige Dinge passieren hier - Firefox in der Krise !
Wie lange benutzt Ihr schon Mozilla Firefox? Hat sich für euch gefühlt etwas verändert?
Habt Ihr in den Einstellungen schon mal unter die Motorhaube geschaut oder benutzt Ihr Firefox einfach so wie installiert?
Früher ging das und man war der sicheren Seite. Heute sollte man bei den aktuellen Versionen aber den #Datenschutz und die #Privatsphäre prüfen und entsprechend einstellen.
Wer KI-Funktionen mag, der kann die Einstellungen so belassen. Wer keine #KI und keine #VPN mag, der muss das alles deaktivieren.
Ob man jetzt den #Microsoft #Copilot in Firefox benötigt oder Microsoft-Software überhaupt nicht auf seinem #Linux PC haben möchte, dass muss man auch selbst entscheiden und einstellen.
Die vergangenen Jahre aber, wo Mozilla Firefox grundsätzlich besser war, die sind leider vorbei.
For years now, Vivaldi has been my backup browser - the one I use when a site or service works better (or at all) with a Blink-based browser rather than Firefox.
Firefox's continuing slide into slop, surveillance, and advertising may mean Vivaldi becomes my primary - or only - browser.
But you know what would speed that up? If Vivaldi launched an experimental version of its browser using Servo as the rendering engine, rather than Blink.
Anyways... Vivaldi's great, everyone should use it over the other Blink / WebKit browsers.
