My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me. For example sometimes I find an interesting paper and want to try it out in Python. If they did not provide code that will take some time and trial and error to get it running. Or I just copy the whole paper into ChatGPT and get an initial script that sometimes even works with it's first try. But that is not the point, I can do the last steps myself, it really is a time saver for me with regards to programming.

Switching from Firefox to Librewolf has some pros and cons. Librewolf is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy and security, with telemetry stripped out and privacy settings maxed out by default. You'll gain better out-of-the-box privacy protections, meaning less tracking and data collection without having to tweak settings yourself.

However, you might lose some convenience. Librewolf might not support certain Firefox features like Sync, since it relies on Mozilla's servers (not sure about that point, maybe it does work). It can also break some websites due to the stricter privacy settings. Another thing to consider is that you won't get updates as quickly as Firefox.

Regarding browser fingerprinting, it's a tricky beast. Librewolf can help somewhat by making your fingerprint less unique, but it's not a silver bullet. Tools like uBlock Origin and container tabs are great, but adding something like the CanvasBlocker extension can also help reduce fingerprinting. Ultimately, no setup is perfect, but Librewolf is a solid step towards better privacy.

If I stay in my house for my retirement, why would I care how much it is worth? I would only care about monthly costs like energy or insurance, what am I missing?

I have no idea how modding works, but how would they get ready for a patch without having the files in advance?

This was me with Reddit, my worst days were 8 hours a day. Now I spent 30 mins per day at most on Lemmy.

Why do I see this online so often? Is it an educational thing? Is it an auto correct thing? Or something other? I am not a native speaker, so I have no clue how this happens.

Do you mean 87.7% use the YouTube iOS/Android App or 87.7% use their smartphone to watch YouTube? Because in the latter case you also can use ReVanced, Firefox + Adblock, Invidious, etc.

Es gibt ja auch farbenblinde Menschen, daher sollte Farbe nicht das einzige Unterscheidungsmerkmal sein. Wäre ja nicht schlimm aus dem Kreis einfach ein Quadrat zu machen, oder?

You could try AntennaPod, I really like it and it's open source.

Redreader works as well due to the disability exemption.

I used AirBnB for travel in Germany for the last 4 years and one thing that really helped with those fees is the Australian AirBnB website. They legally have to show upfront the complete cost including alle fees. So I exclusively use the Australian AirBnB website now to find properties, you even can set the currency to Euro.
