Skellige is celtic, not nordic. Think Ireland/Scotland rather than Norway/Sweden.

thisismyname@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why?English11·3 months agoFYI it can take up to 3 years to bring enough nutrients and biodiversity to a patch of land to get really decent harvests, so if you haven’t started already now is the time to. Good luck, and may your potato harvests be bountiful!
thisismyname@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here?English41·4 months agoAh, I see, you’re a contrarian who just wants an argument. That’s not really my bag so this will be my last message.
Yes, the likelihood of the average person downloading Librewolf is slim. Using or not using Librewolf doesn’t make someone lazy. Not reading and toggling every setting in Firefox doesn’t make someone lazy either.
You’ve just explained that to make Firefox secure you need to watch some video of someone that you hope knows what they’re talking about. What if they miss something? What if they’re talking shit? I know, shocking, people lying on the internet, but it happens.
Firefox is a big name browser used by many people of varying backgrounds and technical ability. It should be secure by default. It is not. Librewolf I recommended to anyone reading this thread, which is probably someone tech savvy enough to try a different browser. But not all people are that tech savvy.
The root issue is Firefox not being secure by default. If there was no profit motive for Mozilla it likely would be.
thisismyname@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here?English6·4 months agoThe problem is not laziness, that’s what a nerd whose hobby is computers would do. The average person is not searching for videos to learn how to toggle the settings of their web browser, ffs. Firefox should be secure by default.
thisismyname@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here?English263·4 months agoThat asterisk is a problem though, having to go through and make it secure is an issue. What if you miss a setting? What if you misunderstand a setting? None of it is particularly upfront and easy. It doesn’t ask you when you first install it to set this stuff up, it encourages you to just get stuck in and start using it straight away.
It’s not too complicated for a nerd whose hobby is computers or someone who has studied computers, but for the layperson it’s too much.
That’s why Librewolf is so good. It’s secure by default, with all the settings toggled to privacy and you can ease that off if you wish, for convenience or whatever.
Firefox essentially can’t seem to decide if they want to be FOSS or capitalist, that’s an issue.

I started quoting relevant parts but there’s so many different ways they get rid of waste that it got silly.
In a nutshell (lol): sap, leaves, petals, fruit, dead wood inside the tree, and root excretions are all kind of tree poop in their own ways.
thisismyname@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you appreciate the most in the Lemmy culture?English5·4 months agoThey’ve always existed in some way or another though.
Which pub you went to, which newspaper you read, which TV channel you watched, they all created echo chambers and bubbles in the past.
At least with the Fediverse we’re more likely to break out of it due to various instances showing up in our feeds. Various viewpoints being visible. The Fediverse is still in it’s early days so it’s still a bit monoculture with the likes of Linux and anti-capitalism but that’s changing now. We’re seeing more and more different takes on different topics as time goes by.

They’re only a permanent member because words say so, and the members are willing to honour those words. If the USA were to attack another NATO member I’m sure those words can and will be ignored.

Aye, but also Celtic because of Nordic influence.

If you click this link and scroll down to the gallery you can see what are essentially Viking longships but in a Celtic nation.
Celtic and Nordic cultures have a lot of similarities because of geographic proximity but they’re also distinctly their own.
