  • Hi @MooMix@beehaw.org, I spent quite a bit of time looking for this album after you posted it, and couldn’t find anywhere to buy it (not on 7Digital, Bandcamp, or Qobuz), and so, well, I got it from this kind of sketchy-looking Russian site, downloaded track by track (each scanned and found clean by VirusTotal), 192kbps mp3, so quality not great, but I guess that’s all there is!

    The album brings back memories of this girl I had the hots for in college who played this in her dorm room all the time, but that’s another story . . . 🙄


























    1. Ok (um, then they do it why?) My attention has been really divided for the past couple days, so I haven’t really read very deeply into PPA.

    2. Didn’t know that; maybe they should reconfigure themselves to be more like Wikipedia? 🤷 It seems like Wikipedia has way more users than FF, and they’re able to keep going on the small donations they request from time to time.

    3. Indeed it does! And it might be nice if it wasn’t checked by default like it was in mine, but ok, I guess.

    Also, what have hamsters ever done to you? 😉



  • Does anyone know if the PPA/Personal Pan Pizza Privacy/Whatever thing has an about:config entry or is it controlled from about:preferences#privacy?

    EDIT: To answer my own question, the about:config entry is “dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled” which should be set to “false”; for those of us who use arkenfox, you should add this to your user-overrides.js file and then run the updater:

    user_pref(“dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled”, false); // Disable Privacy-Preserving Attribution

    This is correct AFAICT.

    EDIT EDIT: Also, possibly naive question: Why can’t Mozilla/Firefox just ask for donations like Wikipedia does instead of sneaking around, which they sort of seem to do once in a while?





  • Actually, I’m not really that tech-savvy despite being a Linux (Mint) person, and especially not compared to the average Beehawer! I can usually learn how to do things if the instructions are well-written enough. Webflow does have a forum, but I’ve gotten so much “RTFM” (not from Webflow but from other places), despite doing actual, honest-to-god reasearch, that I’m always a bit reluctant to ask questions. I guess that’s no reason not to buck up and try though . . . could really use a live, flesh-and-blood knowlegeable human to ask their advice; I don’t know, maybe I’m just too impatient.

    Open-sourced but doesn’t work with Firefox… Does that make it something on chromium?

    Not quite sure what you mean there . . .



  • It’s for my business. I think Webflow is actually very well designed, and is much more in line with how I think about things. I’m trying to do something a bit unusual and complicated which is where I’m running into problems. I really need some help and advice with it, but no one seems to want to give it, even if I offer to pay them!

    Before I gave ghost.org a try before I realized that I was trying to get it to do something it wasn’t really designed for (and also paying a supposedly well-regarded web developer a deposit who then did a rather half-assed job and then disappeared on me). Grrr.

    Webstudio (?) is an open source version of Webflow but, rather incredibly, doesn’t work with Firefox!

    After all that, I’m not sure I actually answered your question…
