- butzNeat. Consider building a version that is usable outdoors and clearly visible from further away in daylight, and at night, and you might be able to offer it to some public transport companies in various countries, that are still using devices running Windows to display transport schedules. Market them using digital sovereignty and sustainability angles.
- Wait, what? Vivaldi is open source? Now I am confused and really not sure what was the reason I ignored it for so long. Was there something iffy with Linux desktop integration?
- Firefox should release a separate build - "base", "core", "classic" - clearly, I am not a marketing person, but idea behind it, that this is only a browser without any extra features added. No "AI", no studies, no account sync. Only bare minimum browser, that allows user to do their internet things and, if they ever desire, will install all extra bells and whistles as extensions. No need to agree to any EULA either (remember, that it was added to Firefox?). And, the best part, all existing users will still keep using the same old Firefox version, no surprises for them. Now, I assume that someone will tell me, that this version already exists and is called ESR :)
- I love when a blog post starts with demonstration of end result.
- While last update is from October 2023, I'm still surprised that this project is still going for so long. Remember using Slax almost a decade ago.
- I assume content creators are uploading their own content to their peertube channels.
- Makers @ https://makertube.net/
- Good. Now maybe GitHub will be able to work with JavaScript disabled?
- Are there any similar specialized decompilation LLM models available to be used locally?
- Is there some secret competition going on between phone makers, who can make the most obnoxious camera bump and get away with it?
- Sadly, nowadays very few, if any, game developers care about performance or optimizations. Look at recent headline about "Helldivers 2 devs slash install size from 154GB to 23GB" and it was done by simply deduplicating assets. Gone are the days of finding inredible ways to use less opcodes that game would feel smoother.
- A computer without Windows is like a fish without a bicycle.
- Firefox must add one single button in settings to disable all AI nonsense at once. It can be on by default, but if user turns this off - it must be kept off.
- So, did GitHub's "plan for a more secure npm supply chain" failed?
- Does Farphone run Far Manager?
- First, a praise: Thank you for using native desktop UI, not some web framework and shipping additional browser along. And a bit of critique: Main screenshot should be bigger, and present the main view of the application. Ability to switch light/dark mode comes by default and target audience is more likely to see what data application displays and how.
- Nowadays users switch browsers to escape from AI nonsense. But in all seriousness, just enabling an ad-blocker significantly increases the speed of the browser, because, as you correctly noticed, website bloat is the largest bottleneck. And usually "raw" website content is only small fraction of all other stuff that gets loaded from various remote sources to show you ads and track you better. And to take speed point even further - disabling JavaScript does wonders to website speeds, you won't believe how quickly some websites are loading. Logging in to banking website might not work at all, though.
- Is it possible to "just sync some files" to Proton Drive in user space without root access? As a paying Proton Mail customer I am annoyed about situation with Proton Drive and non-existing official support for Linux. On the other hand, they will probably drop some kind of electron wrapper of few hundred megabytes, and that won't be useful either. What about alternatives? Should I just use Filen instead?
- Let's hope this will inspire other software developers to follow conventions and move their configs to appropriate directories.
