In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option
The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.
I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.
I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.
At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.
You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.
I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)
For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital
It’s a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.
I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias
Listing only things that haven’t been listed
I’ve seen both AntennaPod and PocketCasts mentioned; I’ve used both over the years. I liked AntennaPod; the only reason that I stopped using it was because I switched to Spotify since that let me pick up listening from where I left off on my desktop. I moved to PocketCasts afterwards because I’ve been slowly trying to get off of Spotify (and because they open-sourced their mobile apps). I don’t like that they require premium to have it sync with the webplayer, but it works.
The XDG Base Directory standard has kinda sorta been doing that; and I like it. Not everything supports it; and it’s not perfect, but at least it’s better than the wild west that application configs used to be.
The Arch wiki is pretty distro-agnostic (barring package names and pacman specific stuff). I’ve been distro-hopping for past decade and I’ve always used it as a reference for setting things up.
Same; especially with how everyone and their dog is releasing a Chrom{e,ium} reskin.
According to Betteridge’s Law and my ever present cynicism, no.
But it would be so fucking awesome if he did!
I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.
That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.
I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.
When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.
