You can prevent recall from running and collecting data, you just can't remove it entirely without breaking some features. I don't think you can replace the file explorer, it's your desktop n stuff as well as file exploring, but preventing recall from running might be your best bet. Or, alternatively, if you don't use the features that you lose in file explorer by removing recall then you might be fine just removing recall and continuing on.

I'd be afraid of wearing out a battery super fast. Outside of super long trips that require recharging to arrive, I'd much rather leave a car plugged in overnight rather than need to pay to replace batteries. Also, like @stoy@lemmy.zip said, it's a lot of power at once that could get dangerous if something goes wrong or overload grids if lots of people start fast charging their cars.

Though of course I'm sure it's a great achievement and hopefully the research is useful.

From my understanding, you can prevent Recall from running just fine, you only can't remove it.

From the video sounds like it can be prevented from running, just not removed.

Also possibly Fennec for mobile. It's Firefox based but cleaned up like Librewolf.

That and Brave & Vivaldi have built in adblock that allows them to keep MV2 era adblocking despite being Chromium based.

Been seeing that a fair bit too lately. Freetube, Grayjay, and Newpipe seem so sometimes get around it, even if the error is in the browser the video will sometimes load in those apps from the same IP. If you get lucky and find a working invidious/piped instance that might work too.

Otherwise, turning on a VPN and switching between servers will usually eventually lead to a working one. That, and if you're up for it, check to see if your favorite creators are on places like Peertube, Odysee, or Rumble that don't block IPs like YouTube does.

Mozilla gets millions in donations, but they give millions to their CEO and millions to political activists. Had Mozilla demonstrated they couldn't survive on donations alone I (and presumably others) would be a little more forgiving. But right, from my perspective, it looks like the board is using the Mozilla coffers as their personal piggy bank instead of making a good faith effort to do anything that would allow them to survive without enshittifying.

Copying my reply from the cross post:

Potentially, but in different ways. You could argue that mass defederation and hostility between communities are the beginning of a fediverse specific enshittification process. And instead of running out of money and then swamping platforms with ads, the big servers could run out of money or get a bored admin and instances could dissapear. Constantly dissapearing instances could also be a fediverse specific enshittification process.

Sorry, not sure if you intended to reply to my post or if it was intended for another comment. If you were intending to reply to me, I doubt they'll ban the Israeli flag, although they also haven't banned the Palestinian flag either. They started removing one emoji when used as a representation of something that violated their rules and wanted to clarify the slightly misleading headline on The Intercept's part.

Again, though, as I said above I'm still not a fan of the rule. Meta has made a lot decisions (moderation and otherwise) that I'm not a fan of.

I think the ublock origin lite thing was a legitimate mistake, though I understand Mozilla's depleting benefit of the doubt.
