I mostly use Librewolf on Linux, and Fennec on Android. When I specifically need a Chromium-based browser, I usually open a Chromium guest from nix-shell on Linux, or Kiwi on Android.

I stopped following Thorium when some questionable pics were discovered in its repo

Did Google ever offer an open source client for the email?

There is Piped, which is a web version of NewPipe

It has been time for that, long ago. Why did you have to wait for everything to go south?

The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such "crybabies" we will never get any traction.

We are facing a problem. "Crybabies" are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don't want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.

I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.

I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search's AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.

I don't blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.

 

I recently learned that my company prefers closed-source tools for privacy and security.

I don't know whether the person who said that was just confused, but I am trying to come up with reasons to opt to closed-source for privacy.
