Meltrax@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Join Mozilla in testing the new Firefox address bar!10·5 months agoWeird vibes here. This is a beta test for a feature update to the actual browser, the part we like using. Not some AI bullshit, the actual browser.
Try it out. See if it’s good. Provide feedback if it’s bad, that’s the point. This isn’t even an announcement for a change, it’s an announcement for an opportunity to test a potential change. Just be happy they’re working on the actual thing they should be, and provide constructive feedback.
There’s a whole question about what I think is most important in AI.
Nothing. AI is not an important part of developing our society. Maybe it could have been, but that was taken over and dominated for profit almost immediately.
You forgot apathy. That’s what works for me.
Meltrax@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Setting up a Raspberry Pi for Windows user. What am I missing?6·8 months agoThat seems fine. Honestly, if he’s new to Linux and wants something stable, maybe consider an atomic distro. But Debian is pretty damn good.
I’d wait until he has requests. Ask for feedback about what he feels like he’s missing and make updates as needed. Easier than trying to anticipate.
Fedora. Silverblue if you want even more stability.
Meltrax@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•[Unpopular opinion] Linux is not a good choice for regular users654·9 months agoYou were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that “regular users” (who don’t know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?
EDIT: Stick a “normal” user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don’t know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.

I’ve been a software engineer for 8 years and I’ve had my own Jellyfin server (and before that, Plex) set up for 4 years on a server that I built myself.
Despite this, I don’t have a damn clue what “virtualized through Proxmox” means any time I read it.
Post history indicates a neck beard edgelord who is seemingly not bad at being a network admin and seemingly very bad at social interactions. So, could go either way.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling…
But to give you the benefit of the doubt, MIT is a school. There’s nothing very exciting about it, I’m sorry. The students are smart, but so are students at a lot of universities. It’s not really any better than the others, except for some name recognition. They teach the same things, they provide the same opportunities.
Stallman didn’t even go there. He went to Harvard for his bachelor’s degree and was a “visiting researcher” at MIT. MIT has some cool research projects, but many many technical universities in the USA have those. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Stevens Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon, hell just any school that has graduate students and a computer science department.
Now don’t get me wrong, Boston is a great city (I live here, I love it) and MIT is a good school. But that’s it, it’s just good. Many many many smart people have come from other schools. Linus Torvalds has had an even greater impact on some of the topics you seem to care about than Stallman, and he went to the University of Helsinki in Finland. Schools are just schools.
I live right near it, and have a lot of friends that went there. Not a strong opinion. Fortunately for you, you’ll find these two things at almost any university in the United States:
- A Computer Science department that actually teaches the exact same curriculum as MIT.
- An English department that will teach you how to use capitalization and punctuation in sentences.
“There” is a location. “They’re” is a contraction of “they are”.

Canoes also have crossbars every 4 feet or so to keep them reasonably structurally sound. So those are very in your way.
An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:
Meltrax@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox@Lemmy.ml: What is the best way to keep a list of many tabs to read later between desktop and mobile without having all of them open on mobile?5·1 year agoFirefox has “Collections” I believe. And you can sync them between all Firefox instances you’re signed in to.
If you happen to care, what you were doing with the program Rufus was creating a “bootable media”. Think back in the day when you had to buy a Windows CD and insert that to install or update Windows. This is kind of the evolution of that. An operating system installer can be loaded into a thumb drive (some utilities even let you put many on one drive, and then you can choose between them) and then you tell your computer to read from the USB drive first (which you did via the BIOS boot menu configuration) and instead of booting up your installed Windows, it gives you the option of installing whatever is on your USB drive.
This is fortunately often a pretty painless process, creating the USB boot loaders isn’t hard, and virtually every single Linux distro out there can be installed in this way.
Glad you’re enjoying Mint, and excellent choice for a new Linux user. If you like it, you’ll never need to change to anything else.
Welcome!
I do too but I feel there should be the ability to manage tab memory in a more intelligent manner than just “gobble gobble”.
