Weirdo to join Weird party. News at 11.

I'm upvoting you because I know what you're trying to say. Personally I don't have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don't feel like I'm "missing out". Still, I get it.

I never stopped using RSS but its always been an additional source not the sole source of info for me. A lot of folks I've followed on various social media or who write for online mags have a personal site where they post long-form stuff. RSS is great if you want to just get a list of those authors latest posts and you don't want to sort through thousands of other stories to find them.

Personally I like using the Livemarks add-on in Firefox because I'm already in the browser anyway and I can manage those bookmarks using the standard bookmarks manager to keep them in any organizational structure I find convenient. Here's the github page but you can search for it in Firefox Add-ons as well: https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/

In a 2019 hearing scrutinizing the merger, Legere told the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology that after combining with Sprint, T-Mobile would have thousands more employees than the stand-alone firms combined in its first year.

“By 2024 we will have 11,000 more employees,” Legere said, according to a transcript of the hearing.

“Our critics are wrong about the impact on jobs,” Legere added, responding to a skeptical analysis from the Communications Workers of America labor union. “I have looked at their arguments and supposed analyses and they do not make sense. They ignore the facts. They don’t account for any areas where jobs will grow, like network integration or new customer call care centers.”

Your personal security concerns are valid but every company is different, and it seems most people don't work at a firm their whole lives anymore so there is less trust and less loyalty and decency, really. In my case the wifi given to employees for their personal phones is totally segregated from the work LAN so while it is definitely monitored and protected in the same way, its far less of a concern for company security. It is also throttled so watching videos is almost impossible, it blocks a hoard of malicious stuff (which makes using it safer for the user than when they leave), and many of those using it are on cheap limited plans so they might not be able to leave their comms open to their family or check the location of their kids during the workday, or even get updates otherwise. Many use it to stream radio stations or listen to podcasts usually into earbuds. Properly classified porn sites, etc. are blocked. However, I recently heard there will be changes imposed on us from above and all these users may soon be kicked off this wifi entirely. Managers and office workers will certainly be still allowed to use it but the people who really need it? I guess they are SOL.

The company firewall very likely is using a "content filtering" function which for Sonicwall, for example, is a subscription service where the admin can select any number of "categories" of content to block. I found lemmy.world was being blocked because Sonicwall had that domain categorized as "gaming" which was disallowed. I reported the error to Sonicwall that it should be "social media" but haven't heard back (it takes a while) but some companies might block that category also. In short, it might not be blocked because of any positive action by your company but instead by accident because whoever first classified the site didn't understand what it was.

The add-on I linked is written and maintained by Mozilla and was updated as recently as Jul 6 of this year. The blog post you linked to is from 2021. If it wasn't doing something more it seems like Mozilla would be wasting their time. I do admit to being too ignorant about everything it is doing and thats on me, so if anything your post has made me want to know more. Here's the repo where it is being developed: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook

Seems like a great time to mention the Firefox Facebook Container add-on!
