As the title says, i want to be able to set it up so that when i open the app i ONLY see the stuff from the instance at the start and not from any federated one until i tab away or something, to use with a tiny private instance. Does this exist?

Bonus points if it's a FOSS one on FDroid.

This right here, this isn't conscientious analysis of tech and intellectual honesty or whatever, it's a calculated shot at it's competitors who are desperately trying to prevent the generative AI market house of cards from falling

I suggest you subscribe to Cory Doctorow's and Ed Zitron's mailing lists, those are two people that regularly write about those people and what are they up to

The only other alternative is Chrome-based browsers, you know, the browser made by the gigantic ad company

Noted! Need to see if it has an easy way to migrate from Firefox

Thing is, a well configured Linux system will just work, and continue to work for the foreseeable future. You have zero guarantee of this with Windows.

After being in tech for like 30 years, i'd say that every OS sucks, but the way they suck and the intensity of said sucking is very much not the same across them. Linux VERY MUCH has issues, yes, but most of the time they're in your power to diagnose and fix, in Windows the main troubleshooting advice has remained mostly the same across decades, the 3 R's, Reboot, Reinstall, Reformat, because many times you just don't know and CANNOT know what went wrong.

This worries me, i can see the new owners killing the Community edition and/or enshittifying the software to uselessness. Do we have a FOSS alternative that does the whole CI/CD pipeline too?

It's "LLMs cannot do what the salesmen and CEOs say it can do by it's very nature"

This is after they bought an ad company last month, Mozilla is compromised now

Edit: Somebody pointed out the reason: Mozilla Foundation has no members. It's just the executives, no one in the actual community has any input in Mozilla's direction, and considering how wildly out of touch tech executives are this explains it all

If there was an updated version these days i'd be fully inclined to run it, haven't followed the project in more than a decade though
