It’s the heavy graphics used which looks like it uses WebGL and this is disabled in LibreWolf since it can easily be used for fingerprinting a user. It would be great if they could not use such heavy graphics if WebGL is not supported and just used simple static image or something like that. Well it would be great in general not just for privacy reasons.
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.
So not even with setting the Width option to Fill Width and Style with disabled Floating option? (see this picture for refeence)
Yeah I hear good things about qemu. Will really have to reserve some time to learn it some day. And just for kicks I have just tried and installed KDE Neon into VirtualBox too, and damn I am actually surprised how fast Plasma runs under it, definitely faster than Plasma 5 did. Another job well done :)
Yeah also don’t like the dock, but with KDE Plasma at least you can make it full width as it is so nicely customizable. VM, oooo I wonder how it will run there, I guess it will be quite slow, at least Plasma 5 was a lot slower in VB for me than later on real hardware, so it might not be well representative.
Good. If only that spyware would stay down forever.
HP48GX scientific calculator, damn old, still works great still use it a lot
Steam Deck, handheld gaming computer, barely use PS5 anymore, this one is so quick and convenient to just pause and resume games and take gaming everywhere and the SteamOS Linux is awesome. I use the desktop mode with full KDE Plasma desktop as my portable computer a lot when on the go. Also with the dock station I can use it as a gaming console when going on holidays.
And the flat I live in. Good thing as I bought it quite a few years ago since the home prices are just criminal and highly unjust now. This stuff does not belong on markets to be sold for profits or some criminal short-time renting crap like AirBnB
Everything Meta/Facebook does is the worst of spyware. And they are bad for democracy and all. Best to aviud their trash as widely as possible to prevent further harm to yourself and to society at large.
Couldn’t agree more with this. It was a well worth switch for me too. They had some moment of bullshiting with closed MQA audio format abut have now come to senses and are getting rid of this nonsense and switching to open FLAC for lossless audio also for highest quality.
No thanks. We don’t need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.
Yup very bloated spyware
I have absolutely desire to lock myself into a flowered prison and pay extremely high price for it in both freedom and money. Apple just is too totalitarian and limited for me to consider anything from them.
The main point to know is if you do not encrypt it with keys generated localy on your machine and encrypt it locally, then you can not be sure it really is E2E encrypted. If a corporation does it for you with their keys they can ready anything so this kind of E2E is more or less marketing bullshit and Apple is guilty of this too.
Straight from the old Big Tabacco playbook of traps. Give away free stuff to get you addicted while in school and then when you are out they start profiting on your bad habbit you are hard to get rid off. Better to use software that is free for ever and even better if it is also free as in freedom and opensource.
Judging from their past and all the bad actions they have done in the past, bad for democracy, privacy, minorities and marginalised people and how openly they have a far/extreme-right bias. Well I feel extremely negative about them joining in. They were also part of destruction of another open/federated protocol in the past: they played big part in destroying XMPP/Jabber messaging. So I am afraid they will do their usual embrace, extend, and extinguish thing and their surveillance capitalist thing and yeah. no good. Best to block their instances outright.
Absolutely not. If I learned something from Twitter and Facebook and Reddit fiascos then it is to never ever let youself be trapped into a closed-source, centralized for-profit platform. So NO, unless they make it completely open source and decentralised so anyone can setup their own instance. But then again we already have Fediverse and Mastodon and Lemmy… so why bother with that, let’s improve what treasure we already have.
Still feels that way, today it feels like it is built by a lazy, stupid and greedy people. With all those bugs, bloat and now even built-in ads, and much worse… spyware.
One way I found out is that you can copy a link to a Lemmy community, e.g https://lemmy.ml/c/linux and paste it into Mastodon search bar and you can the follow it from Mastodon, same for user links. Similarly you can copy a post link from Lemmy and can comment and favourite it.
GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Neon, Gentoo, Arch/SteamOS on Steam Deck) all with KDE Plasma desktop. Because the KDE Plasma desktop is way ahead of anything I’ve ever used on proprietary OSes. Also in general GNU/Linux is leading both technically and ethically, as it is also being free (as in freedom) and opensource software, respects our privacy, and doesn’t bother you with ads.
GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.
