Colin PurringtonBeware of "compostable" products that aren't actually compostable at home. In digging through my compost pile this week I unearthed 3 forks (from takeout food I purchased several years ago) that I think were made by the California-based company, Karat Earth (aka Lollicup). On Amazon and elsewhere the sentence the company uses in marketing is "simply toss the fork into a compost bin when finished." And the forks themselves have the text, "compostable" embossed on them. On company's own website, however, is a logo from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) indicating, in a small font, that forks are "commercially compostable only," which means they only begin to break down at ~190 °F (88 °C). Somebody needs to file a class-action lawsuit to force greater transparency on marketing materials. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compost</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#composting</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/fork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fork</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/takeout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#takeout</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/psa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#psa</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plastic</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/restaurants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#restaurants</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/greenwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#greenwashing</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/polymer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#polymer</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/corn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#corn</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bioplastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bioplastic</a>

Root MooseMozilla Firefox is officially dead. My back is officially turned.What options remain?For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile? We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit. Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity. I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it. I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium. I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version. Time to leave them behind as well I guess. A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin. If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist. There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.(Posted with Epiphany)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/114071999359445580" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/114071999359445580</a><a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Web</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Epiphany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epiphany</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vivaldi</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/ublock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ublock</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/ublockorigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ublockorigin</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browser</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Instagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Instagram</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chrome</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chromium</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rights</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DRM</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/DataSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataSovereignty</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sovereignty</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Fork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fork</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/Floorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Floorp</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/LibreWolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreWolf</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/WaterFox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterFox</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/ZenBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZenBrowser</a> <a href="https://root.moose.ca/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AdBlock</a>
