The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
  • Before the new year, I donated 25€ for Firefox, my long-time companion to #degoogle Grapheneos and Linux. Although Google is introducing DRM, I don't think anything is so important in this life that I have to use Chrome or IE, I will adapt to the situation and instead of worrying about DRM (of course, for the public Internet, this seems like a total violation of users' rights, for safety 🤣🤣🤣, really?) I will try to be more social, but not in the sense of social networks, but hanging out with friends or listening to music or running or a good book... I definitely don't want this big corporation near me, which we are more and more they control... (google,ms,apple,amazon...) Firefox probably missed by not insisting on FirefoxOS (phones), but it has a great agenda - privacy and simplicity. I look forward to many years of using FF!!

  • Pixel 8 Pro Root stuck at "Phone is starting"
  • Enable the developer options menu by going to Settings ➔ About phone/tablet and repeatedly pressing the build number menu entry until developer mode is enabled.

    Next, go to Settings ➔ System ➔ Developer options and toggle on the 'OEM unlocking' setting. On device model variants (SKUs) which support being sold as locked devices by carriers, enabling 'OEM unlocking' requires internet access so that the stock OS can check if the device was sold as locked by a carrier. Connect the device to the computer and install Grapheneos via browser.

    You need to boot your device into the bootloader interface. To do this, you need to hold the volume down button while the device boots. After install OEM was lock again.

  • Deciding between Fairphone 5 and Pixel 8
  • I replaced the Pixel 6 with the Pixel 8 257gb of storage, this solved my need for an SD card, I replaced the 3.5 headphone jack with an Ibasso DC03 pro DAC for the USB C port. Since I've been using phones with custom ROMs for years (also 2x Sony with SailfishOS) I was always looking for something that would be useful for me (the best choice would be the LG V50 if it could be loaded with GOS or DivestOS). The Pixeli8 is still an expensive phone (mine bought new from another user) but I like the GrapheneOS, compact design, camera and usability, and long-term support (hopefully I'll have it for a long time). I only have FOSS applications on my profile, and my work profile contains Gplay and a few apps that I occasionally use. I have no comments, everything works as it should and I like the compact design and the camera. The keyboard is also finally FOSS, open board (fork) with swipe function. I much prefer using it than Gboard with internet blocked.

  • Phone for Ubuntu Touch

    Hello, I am looking for the optimum phone to install Ubuntutouch on, and I particularly want optimum battery life and, of course, a great camera. Which phone would you recommend I am looking at Xiaomi Poco x3 or M3 otherwise they are big for me. I currently have a Pixel 6 and Grapheneos but I would like a Linux UT in the past I also had Xperia 10 and Sailfish os. What would you recommend for everyday use with a good camera?
