It’s the ideal solution morally-wise, but it still samples out a ton of users precisely because people are used to the idea of telemetry = bad

Read what I said again. It is not automatically bad, and it doesn’t mean it can’t be poorly used or poorly understood by the ones collecting it. It just means that it is an effective way to understand how your users are using your product.
Putting Mozilla (which from what I can tell is doing as much as they can trying to collect this telemetry data in a way that can’t be used to identify its users) in the same domain as Microsoft, which collects pretty much everything it can to sell to third party advertisers is ridiculous as best and disingenuous at worst.
People really need to kill that notion that telemetry is automatically bad. If the information they are collecting is minimal, as non-identifiable as possible and actually being used to help develop the browser, it’s a good thing.
Yes, turbo nerds in the back, specially being opt-out, opt-in telemetry is pretty much useless for trying to understand the majority of your user base.
I personally see as benefiting us Linux users by forcing the rare website that “doesn’t work with your operating system” to work if they want to reach that sweet over-a-billion-user Android market. Win-win for pretty much everyone.
Also really nice to see the ~10% performance improvement in some workflows in there
podman is almost AFAIK 1:1 compatible with docker, the team does great work on it
welcome to fedora!
Always great to see those bits of history, hope to see the community grow even more without having to tolerate bigotry
it’s available in the current stable version, just behind an about:config flag, will edit this one later on with the one when I get the time to get back on my machine
edit: took a while but I believe it’s
browser.translations.select.enable
that enables it
