I know what you mean, but I think private chat and public posting are quite distinct. They’d destroy a lot more trust if they sell private messages compared to what they did with Tumblr. Especially if they continue to push local bridges, where they won’t be able to read any message (you still have to trust them obviously).
Well that’s some news. If they’re good news we will see. I’m a Beeper user but never heard of Texts (stupid name) before, which seem to share the same misson as Beeper. Texts was purchased by Automattic last year (according to the Beeper blog).
What does that mean? Automattic punches with some weight in the chat space now. In general I don’t like it if big companies buy small products. However Automattic still seems to bet on the Fediverse, so maybe if the teams from Beeper and Texts can work together on a Matrix-based, open source chat application, we could get something really good.
I’ve mixed feelings about this whole thing, some shy optimizm, some less shy pessimism.
Well, time will tell.

Maybe you want to try the Tree Style Tabs or Sideberry extension.
My recommendation? No. Don’t.
I’m an ex Windows user, current Linux and Mac user. Keyboard shortcuts on Linux are much closer to Windows conventions compared to macOS. I wouldn’t recommend using a Mac keyboard with Linux. I’d only recommend it if you want to use both Linux and macOS with the same keyboard (you will be happier in this case, because using macOS with a Windows keyboard sucks, vice versa).
If you don’t like the Windows key design, get a keyboard with a custom one.
I don’t know if it does everything you need, but pinning a tab prevents it from unloading AFAIK.
That’s a long list of changes, wow.
Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
It’s not in the linked article, but it was part of it in the beta release notes. Now it’s on the dedicated Android release notes page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/122.0/releasenotes/):
- Firefox for Android can now be set as the default PDF reader.
- Firefox for Android now supports enabling Global Privacy Control. With this feature, Firefox informs websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold. This feature is enabled by default in private browsing mode and can be enabled in normal browsing in Settings → Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Tell websites not to share & sell data toggle.
- To reduce user fingerprinting information and the risk of some website compatibility issues, the OS version is now always reported as “Android 10” in Firefox for Android’s User-Agent string.
Side note: in recent versions of Firefox you can use right click → Copy Link Without Site Tracking to get a clean version of the link without any tracking paramters.
I second the recommendation for Tree Style Tabs, however Sideberry did work better for me (don’t recall why, sorry).
One downside is that they don’t hide the horizontal tab bar on the top. AFAIK you can manually hide it by editing the userstyle css file.
Personally, I’m not interested in the type of posts you mention. However, I don’t mind it. In general I think it’s great to tell the world if you ditch Windows for Linux, because it shows other (Windows) users that they can do it, too.
Though I have to agree that for a dedicated Linux community, it doesn’t add too much value. If I think a post is a bad fit for the community, I vote it down.
Thanks for not only posting your issue, but also updating with newly discovered information. I wasn’t aware that uBlock can prevent caching.
And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!
It did take forever when I tried the last time. Literally hours.
Just installed NixOS with Wayland and Gnome the other day on my laptop with Nvidia card. I had to tune the config a bit, but it works flawless now – notably also with the offload command. That’s fine for me though because it saves considerable energy if the GPU only runs on request.
Apostrophe. The perfect, slick markdown editor.
You can go to settings > customize and turn off pull to refresh if you want.
It’s not easy. I see something along the lines of:
I have the — for some quite radical — take that knowledge should be free, labor should be paid. Anything that can be shared/copied without anshy cost should be open to be used by anyone.
This does not sound sustainable at all.
