You know what’s great about Microsoft Teams compared to other chat apps? It’s super on point with updating your colleague’s status. There’ve been times I thought my colleague was MIA for hours, but turns out, it was just a glitch. A quick restart with the app and boom, we’re back in sync! 🤪

Was originally an Opera user (before they switched away from Presto), then switched to Firefox afterwards.

Firefox was my pick because it was good enough and extremely customizable.

All my Reddit time was diverted to here, lol

Nope but I aint lying that there are communities that are not here that I do miss (since they never left Reddit).

Linux is great for some stuff, but unless there’s massive upgrades to where you can just hit “install” and something installs and works without fucking around in terminal

Wait what!? I just mark file as executable, run as program, and click nex then install.

Also on a more serious note, how easy is it to find apps on the software store too (yes, because most linux distros offer a software store now)

Even if it isn’t, this is going to be one, I’ll put this as my “Windows is better than Linux copypasta”

Problem: Decrease of Twitter Blue subscribers

Solution: Sue every other competitor for alleged infringing Twitter’s trade secrets

I mean sure why not! lmao

Damn, that’s even better!

There is a possibility!

What makes this even better is that apparently Mark Zuckerberg / Mets owns trademark for the X logo.

You know what that means! Millionaire monkey money fight!

I only knew about this via that website which got the news from twitter. I hope this gains huge enough traction for Ubisoft to change the policy from the backlash.

Although tbh, I am not expecting much, considering Ubisoft is trying to be the next EA these days.

That’s the scummy thing, because Ubisoft is trying to blur the lines between owning a license and renting one.

Fucking scumbags.

That would be awesome if we have seamless passthrough, let alone making a GPU be sharable across two or more VMs accessible to mainstream.

For now though its only available for enterprises, type 1 hypervisor and only for a limited set of hardware iirc.

The only thing I find Firefox inferior over Chrome is Webgl support. Specifically browser-based games.

Although they are playable on Firefox, they play much more smoother on Webkit and it’s sister, Chromium.

Like let us say you get 90fps on Webkit or Chromium, in Firefox you get around 50-60fps. That kind of difference which to gamers, may find off putting.

Well what do you expect when all of a sudden they started making their own browser over contributing to Firefox.

The entire reason why Chrome was created was for Google to push the web forward at their own pace. Away from the previous iteration that heavily relied on browser helper objects (plugins).

Here we are though, Google having a huge influence over the spec. Mainly because the competition weeded out to only Firefox remaining.

Sure, Edge might be considered competition for Google, but at the end of the day, Edge, Opera (unfortunately), Vivaldi, Brave, and similar browsers are essentially Chrome reskins.

PS: I am considering Edge as a competition for Google as Microsoft is well known for being EEE (Extend, embrace, extinguish). But more importantly, they have the man power to maintain their own fork if things do get out of hand.

Just this week or was it last week, I made a comment on some post that putting privacy aside, we should still be encouraging people to use Firefox instead of any chromium browsers to break control. It is good to see that right now I am just given a very good example why Chromium being a monopoly allows Google to control the spec (even if other companies are on board)

This PR nails it

App.

At the moment, I just use Connect on my phone and Wefwef/Voyager on Desktop (I access it via Firefox Sidebar)

I was originally an Opera user (back when it was using Presto) back in the day, but I switched to Firefox during the last moments of the Presto engine. When Presto died, I worried a bit about the state of other browser engines, but I didn’t worry about it too much because I never thought Microsoft would use Chromium with their Edge browser. Yet, here we are.

Putting privacy concerns aside, we should encourage the use of Firefox because it helps promote browser engine diversity. The more diverse browser engines we have, the better it is for us, especially when it comes to innovation. I mean, it may be a bit different than the era of Internet Explorer, but since Google is leading the Chromium project, who knows what could happen.

They might remove a particular feature that was once very useful for whatever reason, and we could end up just accepting it because we can’t do anything about it.

There is no followup yet after his threats unfortunately
