I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t think it’s easy to deliver such low density heat in a useful way. Large datacenters are located away from residential land because they can be unpleasant to live near, and while businesses could be close by, what industries can utilize a huge volume of ~100 degree air?

Idk about you but I’ve thought of making a Lemmy instance exclusively for bots. Have an algorithm make posts, have a collection of llm accounts semi-randomly commenting on them and responding to each other. It could allow federated users to make comments that are able to be interacted with by the bots.

How’s a data center going to use a lot of hot air? Maybe they could use specialized heat pumps to condense it even more and spin some turbines, but the efficiency would be extremely low and probably not worth the investment. Best option is probably to just heat a few adjacent buildings in the winter.

It sounds really grim, but if politicians feared they’d be shot for their greed, maybe we’d have a more fair society.

It’s truly shocking how a tiny company of a few people can outperform one of the largest companies in the world with search. Google is full of ads though, so it’s more profitable for them if you have to spend more time on their page to see more ads.

This whole thing could be run by bots. You might be the only human here

I guess I don’t see the point of removing pocket from the build since it can be disabled in a standard Firefox build with a single about:config option. That’s what I do.

Heretical, you will burn in hell

True Temple OS has no networking

Tor browser is something else, I don't group it in with stuff like Librewolf.

For librewolf, I just took a look to try and figure out what binary blobs are being talked about. This is the repository I was looking at, I think its the right place: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/src/branch/main. There isn't much documentation on the patches besides the file names for the most part, but do you have any idea which of these relates to binary blobs? Or is it in the settings file? Really nothing I see here convinces me that this project is worth anybody's time over regular firefox, it just changes some defaults, disables pocket (they patch it out, but there's already a setting), and changes the branding. I don't disagree with most of their changes, I just don't see the point of maintaining and marketing an entire derivative browser for what could just be a settings hardening guide on a wiki somewhere.

I do genuinely believe that these Firefox forks are mostly pointless rebrands of Firefox to satisfy a small crowd of people who are fine with Firefox but don’t want Firefox or Mozilla branding. Other than branding, they tweak the default config, pre-install ublock origin, and that’s about it. I guess this one exposes some already existing about:config flags in the settings UI. The best part is they are managed by small teams that run a few versions behind Firefox persistently, leaving 0-days unpatched and thus their users vulnerable. Their small userbase also opens their users up to tracking that wouldn’t be possible with larger browsers.
