In your OP, sure.
But this comment reads as a desired state, and in some situations thats a feature request (in this case it seems like there are architecture / system workarounds):
I don’t want email to be accessible to those services. I don’t want those services to use email at all.
Did you get an explanation you’re happy with?
I don’t think that assumption was inherent in the comment
If you want an unpopular feature that doesn’t exist on an open source platform sometimes your only options are to code it, or ask someone else to. The skillset of the feature requester doesn’t change that
What’s new:
And honestly I’d stop there and say “and more”
Also, the summary of the release notes is not the release notes. You cared about every dot point in those release notes equally? There are no larger broad changes?
Why post it here? I personally don’t think every Firefox release is interesting enough to post to the !technology@lemmy.world channel so when a release is interesting enough to post here I figure there are reasons and that they are easy to note along with the URL.
I suspect most people have some feelings are the same because I suspect most people would be unimpressed if the channel included every minor release of everyone’s torch apps. The exact reasons something is interesting varies for people. For some people anything Firefox might be enough. For others it might only be interesting when they do something big like trying to come up with a new solution for tracking ads. Since its a community, I kind of think a good post needs to include the highlights of what is meant to be interesting to help out the others in the community, especially if they might not naturally see the same things as interesting
The Firefox browser itself tells me there is an update. An update could be interesting to read about here and if so I think it makes sense to make the case with the highlights. Like, why did you find it interesting enough to put here?
Personally, I’m pretty inclined to downvote any post that is a link without a short summary or context. I appreciate that’s not everyone.
And personally I think it’s important to say why you downvote. The poster can choose what to do with that information and I’ve got no expectations for them to change how they do things
Downvoted for not giving any sort of summary of the larger features and fixes
I think it’s a bubble but I’m also suspicious we’re near peak investment and think it could sustain for a while yet. I wonder what sort of range he’s projecting for the peak and timeframe
The BookLore Github:
https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore
Has a shelf of comics to see how reading on the server works:
https://demo.booklore.dev/library/3/books?view=grid&sort=titleSeries&direction=asc
It looks like I might be misremembering though, and there might not be a torrent search / download, just the OPDS server to download to a remote device on some client apps.
For downloads then looking at my docker compose it looks like I chose LazyLibrarian over bookshelf but I can’t tell you why.
I asked something similar (its just asking about ebooks) and some of the answers there may help:

I have notes for a follow up but I didn’t finish my testing and am still using mostly commercial options.
I think I didn’t find anything good for syncing between devices (unless own a kobo reader) but Calibre OPDS was workable as a server and both Booklore and Calibre Web had options for downloading but both have to deal with book torrents often not being available / bundled without the name and I think I liked Booklore more, but was going to go with Calibre Web since I thought I could share the library file (and I travel so for now my “server” is a virtual machine on my laptop that is often not running).
They weren’t my instances. There are some public instances floating around so, before trying to self host, I gave them a shot. I can’t remember the specifics well. For me to bother investing time testing, I may have had a query that was irritating me on Duck Duck Go and Google so it might not have been a particularly fair test
For anyone curious how well it works, I just noticed they have a trial:
Every SearXNG instance I’ve tested has been terrible for my test queries. Any chance you can account for that?
Oh, I don’t have epilepsy so I’m not avoiding YouTube because of this filter, I’m avoiding YouTube because of the money Google keeps giving to Trump and because I noticed that my tech usage isn’t very diversified and it was pretty pretty dominated by US companies (so if you imagine trade war negotiating leverage, I was giving the Trump administration more leverage). From that perspective, it removes ad revenue which is about all you can do with YouTube besides trying to convince creators to put their videos on multiple platforms (and it’s questionable there is a good alternative platform)
To be fair, they also have little to gain now besides a slight feeling of doing something good but any alternative has to start from somewhere and need to get momentum.
Yeah, YouTube is really entrenched.
It’s not that hard to set your peertube account to autoupload any YouTube channel but we only get away with the IP issues while peertube is small so it’s not very sustainable.
I wish more of the creators that have ethical issues with the Trump administration’s actions would acknowledge that Google is enabling and actively supporting (at least through larger than usual donations to) the Trump administration and then choose to upload anywhere else, even if they keep uploads in two places. I wonder if they lose more IP control on peertube, it seems unlikely given the alternative is Google. I’ve tried to message a few creators but I think the larger ones have either contracts of fond memories of the community that they grew from.
Ahahaha. A title cautioning not to watch YouTube with the description of the situation being… a YouTube video.
I’m avoiding YouTube so for others like me that want more info here’s a BBC article on the filter itself (not the failure mode):
https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20250822-youtube-is-using-ai-to-edit-videos-without-permission
YouTube has secretly used artificial intelligence (AI) to tweak people’s videos without letting them know or asking permission. Wrinkles in shirts seem more defined. Skin is sharper in some places and smoother in others. Pay close attention to ears, and you may notice them warp
And an Invidious link that lets you view the video:
Agreed after the yes.
I’m not sure how what you said either: justifies the comments not fitting that label; justifies that “any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad” is a practical ideology; or even establishes much a link between what you’ve quoted and what you’ve said. And I think you need to be doing one of those to be making a counter argument
There’s huge risk here but I don’t think most are designed to control people’s opinions. I think most are chasing the cheapest option and it’s expensive to have people upset about racist content so they try to train around that sometimes too much leading to black Nazi images etc.
But yeah, it is a power that will get abused by more than just grok
