Privacy, like security, requires technology that can be examined, reviewed, studied, vetted and modified. It's also a personal consideration
We need a full free and open technology stack: software, devices, data and society
#FLOX is everything you think necessary for your personal freedom, privacy and security ( even things we have not yet created )

Picked up some green chili bread for the #PLUG end of year party tonight
The error given:
"Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox."
68 doesn't seem all that much older than 71, maybe it's ESR from non-ESR
I have some specific, lovingly hand-crafted, artisan profiles
One does not simply recreate a masterpiece :)
Switching from Ubuntu bionic to debian buster and Firefox is unhappy :(
It complains about an old version.
debian: ii firefox-esr 68.3.0esr-1~deb10u1
Ubuntu: ii firefox 71.0+build5- amd64
Adjusting LastVersion in $profileDir/compatibility.ini gets it to start, now testing functionality
The reason:

I've just released a simple #ActivityPub debugging tool. It's hosted on Glitch so you don't have to worry about spinning up servers or SSL certs etc. You clone your own copy of the project, set it up, and you can create ActivityPub accounts that can send any raw JSON payload you specify to its followers. I use it for testing new and novel ActivityPub objects, and to test compatibility with messages sent from remote servers without needing to create an account on them.
