You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time on your hands.

Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂

Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the “battleground of ideas”!

I love Vivaldi. Am sad it’s Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi’s features book and innovation approach.

Fair. Just that the selection of quality games is rather limited.

IMO monetisation is fine, after all we all need to earn a living. To goad people into spending money is the issue. Enter dark patterns.

A one-off purchase after testing the first level? Awesome! Wait a few hours - or days - for a building to finish? Watch a deceptive ad for a meager reward over and over? No, thanks.

You misspelled Neovim. An understandable mistake.

Mastodon struggles a bit to pick up pace.

Found this:

It explains some pain points.

Agreed. Horrible news.

Hoping Syncthing-Fork will continue.

I just installed that on your recommendation.

Hoping for the best.

Here the link for anyone who wants to check it out.

Nice idea.

Does this run 24/7? How much traffic is generated so I don’t use up all my mobile data?

This sounds interesting. Something I’d give a shot. But the Github doesn’t have much to go by. Yet?

With a heading “We care about your privacy”.

I had to smile reading their “about” page.

Which search results or which queries could one show the average user to make that point?

I mean, I’m not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?

Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we’d be happy with?

TIL that this is the successor of K9.

Awesome news! I hope.

This!

Good I’m on Tumbleweed then. 😁

Seriously, I will test it in a virtual machine.

Good point. Which distros handle it well?

Is depends on your perspective.
