Rollerblading, programming, writing, documentaries, travel, motorbikes… That’s it!

This account is here to interact with bits of the Fediverse which don’t play nicely with my weird ActivityPub-email system.
Really? AV1 & webp support, Quantum engine, process-per-tab, reader mode, HTTP/2 & HTTP/3 support, cross-site tracking protection…?
Browsers have a lot of features. Some convenient, some come and go. That’s ok.
Firefox is an ideological choice for some people so both cynicism and unconditional support is expected.

If you’ve done any programming, you could hook up a script to fdm (https://github.com/nicm/fdm).
Rough logic, for each message:
* match body with several timestamp regexps
* parse matched messages
* find dates in message body
* parse final match
* discard message if that is date earlier than now - x days
@poVoq Agreed. It got me thinking. But feels almost entirely ideological, conflating social media (e.g. Twitter, Reddit) with “the digital world”.
Saying git is a “failed attempt at decentralisation” just because GitHub is popular misses that GitHub is less critical infrastructure than it would be if we only had CVS or Subversion.
I’m encouraged by incremental, practical decentralisation efforts outside of social media. It’s slow, kinda boring but it’s real and happening today.
Ah sorry yes I read the article, was just checking I understood the comment.
The workflows enabled by git that were painful with, say, Subversion or CVS, are significant. The overwhelming popularity of GitHub is regretful in the sense there is authority captured there, but the development of the tech (DVCS) means that GitHub is not *as* critical as before. For me this is something to celebrate!
Perfect? No way. Failure? Seems over-the-top.
@astrojuanlu @maegul @fediverse
Failed attempt at decentralisation? Is this referring to the popularity of GitHub?
@Pantherina You might be interested in looking into the Plan 9 operating system. The original designers of Unix (on which Linux and BSDs are based) created the OS with lots of interesting ideas built into the core of the system, rather than bolted on afterwards. No root, userspace drivers, others you mentioned are explored.
Take a look: https://p9f.org
@wwwgem Totally agree! :) One of the coolest things about Linux for me is learning about all the different approaches to systems and applications.
@friend_of_satan @wwwgem That got to me too the more I used Linux. BSD (OpenBSD specifically) clicked much more for me. Not that it’s any less customisable, but the BSD culture tends towards favouring defaults and refining existing software rather than limitless configuration and novelty. I’ve generalised here but I do have this kind of feeling.
@Canadian_Cabinet @possiblylinux127 @slacktoid Keep in mind that not all users are the same. For example, maybe some people find firewall configuration expressed as text in a file clearer than a GUI. My grandmother loves her iPad. I love my OpenBSD laptop. I find the iPad relatively user unfriendly - “I can barely see or control what my own machine is doing!” - but my grandmother would find my OpenBSD laptop very user unfriendly too - ”How do I see my family photos?”
@demesisx @UmbraTemporis Yes seems like picom is designed with resource-efficiency in mind. And actively developed: https://github.com/yshui/picom
@valentino All of them; they’re mostly the same! /jk But seriously try another OS: OpenBSD, Haiku, Serenity, Plan 9…
@hornedfiend @Seltsamsel That’s a good question and got me curious. I had a look at Telemetry collection and deletion from Mozilla. You can enter about:telemetry
in the address bar to see what Firefox is collecting (even if it is not being sent).
> more compact tab bar, saving space
Not sure if you’re aware, but there’s a hidden setting to make Firefox’s toolbars more compact:
