The problem is that lack of telemetry is one of the reasons why a lot of distros are still not as good as they can possibly be. FOSS should destigmatize telemetry, for innovation's sake.

If nobody does that, nobody will be using Wayland to report issues.

Note: The code block rendering is broken on Sync for Reddit. See the web version for proper rendering.

Linux equivalent: Imagine if AppImageD pops up asking for your opinion and feedback on AppImages whenever you visit Flathub or Snapcraft.

Google is paying Mozilla to keep their search engine the default in Firefox. Period. There is no Google spyware (or any spyware in general) in Firefox. Just because Google is the default search engine in Firefox doesn't mean Firefox is Google-controlled spyware.

Also Librewolf's privacy is in some ways selfish on their part. It strips out Firefox's troubleshooting data collection so Mozilla loses a good chunk of clues on how well the browser works. Lack of any data would lead to lower browser quality, ends up as a worse Firefox release, and Librewolf gets to be affected directly as a downstream of Firefox. By removing troubleshooting or usage data (which practically doesn't affect privacy in any way), Librewolf is just hurting itself in the long run. If they're really aggressive against directly contributing data back to Mozilla, then they should just run their own collection server and contribute the final data back to Mozilla.

If your instance has defecated from Hexbear, then you wouldn't see any of their posts or comments.

This is a completely patched Ubuntu 16.04 through the Extended Security Maintenance program.

I would have tried this on Ubuntu 14.04 (supported until 2024) but Flatpak never supported 14.04 in the first place.

"Canada announces technology that allows anybody, anywhere in the world to undergo mandatory medically assisted 'suicide' without consenting or being informed beforehand said operation"

Canada is several months away from medically assisted "suicide" for people who don't support currently elected politicians

I like the concept of a unified look between apps. IMO Google hit the right spot in design. Apps should always look familiar and easy to use based on your experiences with previous apps, something which is only possible through a unified design like Material You.
