Mozilla is adding tab grouping, vertical tabs, profile management, and local AI features to Firefox
  • I heavily use Firefox for Android on multiple devices since many years. It HAS annoying bugs. The most annoying for me is the tab view keeps forgetting the last tab you were on, when for example closing a tab from tab view or moving between tabs by swiping the address bar.

    I think every person's bugs depends on how they use the software.

    edit: quick word order fix.

  • He is a ghost
  • Everything I use is encrypted as hell. What do I have inside? To be honest nothing. Just your usual stuff. But why the heck should I let someone to get into my fucking harddrive? No, let's make it as difficult as possible for those assholes.

    Having said that, I'm stuck multiple times by my own encryption. Lost the keys, etc. And in case something happens to me, no one can access my legacy or docs. That's my only doubts. Moreover, I'm aware that it only protects my data at rest, while the PC is on, there are probably a zillion zero-days I'm not aware of.

    Software under stress decided to talk Arabic to me

    Says "مع السلامة" just before crashing which translates to "bye". I'm working on this for over a year and this is the first time it happens.

    Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?
  • Around 25 years ago I had read about this Linux thingy in a computer magazine somewhere in the middle east. We had a Windows 95/98 PC. I got my hands on some Red Hat CDs (or floppies) and managed to install it on the PC. It booted into a prompt, but I had zero knowledge of Linux or any Unix-like OSes and had absolutely no idea of man pages. Didn't manage to start the graphical environment. I took my case and rode my motorcycle to some computer engineering student (the most knowledgeable person I had access too, we had no Internet) and asked him for help. He told me it's my graphics card (some old ISA VGA card), but couldn't help more. In the computer market no one knew about Linux either. So my first try to switch to Linux failed.

    Fast forward 25 years... I'm surrounded with Linux and computers in general. Desktops, laptops, single board computers, virtual machines, local or remote. I started with Ubuntu (free CDs posted to my poor country...) with Gnome and later gnome shell, tried Debian, Mint, Parsix, and finally Arch Linux. Moved from graphical to command line and started absorbing the Unix philosophy of simplicity and robustness. Nowadays I use sway and KDE on Arch Linux for work and pleasure, and follow very old Unix mailing lists looking for hidden internet gems.

    P.S.: forgot to mention Libreelec (kodi) as my media server and OpenSUSE Leap on laptop which I chose to enjoy some automated install with encryption and btrfs which worked surprisingly well. If I live long enough, I might start thinkering with BSDs (openbsd probably, because of the picture at the bottom of their homepage). I already use pfsense which is based on FreeBSD.

  • Firefox vs Chrome App

    Due to recent evil moves by Google to push Web Environment Integrity down our throats, I want to use Firefox web app instead of Chrome web app on my Android device. I noticed the Firefox installed app has a black circle as icon, but Chrome one has the right icon.

    Is this a big in Voyager or some other Google/Android discrimination?

    Edit: Installing Voyager from m.lemmy.world fixed the issue for now.

    Thanks for all the tips.

    Feedback on my pixelated font

    Last year I made a new pixelated free typeface for my 2d game. It has Arabic, Persian, and a subset of Latin glyphs enough for English, German and Spanish texts. Inside the repo you'd find makefile to build the font and generate test outputs.

    Since it was my first experience designing a typeface ever, I might have made mistakes not known to me. That's why I post this, hoping someone would point them out. Here is the repo
