I have had a new laptop for a day, and it's shit-hot!

Clearly aimed at gamers but the best spec I could find for development.

I went #Lenovo #Legion9 (max), rather than #Dell for the first time because the spec, and the fact my last Dell is faulty after 6 years (whereas my previous 15yr Dell is still perfect).

Lenovo support is poor, outsourced, unhelpful and knows less than I do.

Windows 11 was the only option, so no Ubuntu drivers. But ok, except the trackpad so far, USB devices on order.

Yes, refurbs can be excellent value if they meet your needs/wants.

I still have an working ThinkPad T41 refurb that I put Bodhi Linux on.

The setup yesterday shows me everything I've heard and abhorred about lately. Even after configuring for was sending all my clicks home and making this shit-hot laptop sluggish!

Pretty shocking actually. Enter Firefox and Brave [phew].

I'm so thankful for .

What could be the problem causing to choose Dark theme when I have set to use Light theme?

Maybe not your area expertise @JenMsft per se, but do you have an idea?

Getting used to Edge again means trying to duplicate some of the productivity tricks Arc gave me.
Having a collection of work-related tabs in one accent color is nice, and being able to customize their icons and rename them is also important. Here’s what I have so far. https://gitlab.com/taonaw/taonah/-/blob/master/public/20240416T085958--customizing-edge__microsoft.org?ref_type=heads&blame=1

So, I'm doing some quick performance tests for my own JS game engine, and it turns out that the WebView used by Tauri is 40% slower than Edge itself.

A bit surprising but I guess Tauri adds some overhead, as the release build is also faster than the dev build - without doing any explicit call to the rust backend during the benchmark.

Oh, and, BTW, does anyone know what the crash dump logs browsers generate are actually used for? None of the teams involved in helping me troubleshoot my crashes seemed to be interested in them nor did they seem to have any idea what they would do with them.

⚠️ PSA: If you are using the ModHeader extension for #Chrome, #Brave or #Edge, uninstall it immediately! It has become spyware, tracks website visits and injects advertisement into websites.

@kurt@pod.thing.org:> ### Wir machen Lärm! Gegen Amazon und die Gentrifizierung unseres Kiezes!

Die #Gentrifizierung #Friedrichshain‎s schreitet voran - nicht nur, aber besonders im #Südkiez nördlich der Warschauer Brücke. Die Preise steigen, die #Mieten auch, der #Supermarkt wird gegen Bürobauten ausgetauscht, #Clubs sollen #Hochhäusern weichen - und in all dem steht dieser Turm, in den ein gewisser monopolistischer #Großkonzern einziehen will. Wir machen Lärm und sagen: Nein danke!

Der bevorstehende Einzug #Amazon​s in den #Edge-Tower wird die Probleme im #Kiez nicht lösen, sondern verschärfen und verdrängen. Die sogenannte "Aufwertung" der Gegend geht mit der Zerstörung von Kiez- und #Nachbarschaft​sstrukturen einher. #Geringverdienende finden keinen Platz mehr im Kiez. #Häuser & Boden werden als #Spekulation​sobjekte noch interessanter. Und der #Tower beschleunigt all diese Prozesse noch weiter.
Um uns gegen all dies in Bewegung zu setzen und unserem #Unmut freien Lauf zu lassen, machen wir Lärm! Mit unseren Stimmen, unseren Instrumenten, mit Töpfen, Pfannen und Haushaltsgegenständen. Denn wir haben es satt, dass die Entwicklung unserer Stadt wortwörtlich von oben herab passiert!

Deswegen seid mit uns laut - am 6.4. um 15 Uhr, Revaler Str. Ecke Simon-Dach-Str. (vor dem RAW-Gelände)!
Wir werden zügig loslaufen, also bitte seid pünktlich - und bringt eure Stimmen, Töpfe, Pfannen, Instrumente sowie eure Familien, Freund*innen und Verbündeten!

Salut les ludiques ! Il y a quelques semaines, je cherchais les aides de jeu pour le jeu de rôle . J'avais fini par les trouver dans une bibliothèque Mega. a mis à jour son site et les a ajoutées (c'est sans doute indépendant, bien que j'aie aussi posé la question sur leur semi-officiel). Merci Edge !

Is the new ? Or the new or the new ?

Pushing products on people that do not want them is not a good thing.

Luckily the EU has made it possible to remove Edge and Onedrive. I hope they will add Copilot soon.

IMHO there should be a clear line between what is on the computer and what is on the cloud, unless I opt-in otherwise for things like backup.

Similarly there should be a clear line when it comes to . It must be clear when my data is local and when it is used for AI. What I do locally on my computer should not feed AI.

    "It’s worth noting that #Firefox is the only mainstream browser built on an independent, #opensource browser engine whose roots don’t go back to Apple’s #WebKit engine. Google based its Blink engine on WebKit, and Blink powers both #Chrome and #Chromium, the open-source browser upon which most other modern browsers are built, including #Opera, #Brave, and Microsoft #Edge."

    Das BSI hat Version 3.0 seiner Sicherheitsanforderungen an Webbrowser veröffentlicht. Interessant ist die »Browser-Abgleichstabelle« - insbesondere auf Seite 8. Zitat zu Microsoft Edge: "Übertragung von Telemetriedaten lässt sich zentral nur in „höherwertigen“ Windows-Versionen (Enterprise, Education, Server) per Gruppenrichtlinie „Allow Telemetry“ bzw. „Allow diagnostic data“ zusammen mit der Windows-Telemetrie deaktivieren."

    Tja. 🤷‍♂️

    I hope force all their browser staff to use all the stupid productivity hacks they introduce. "Hey, you opened up a website, so I'll consume a chunk of the browser window to show you the {Email | Teams chat} that you launched the browser from, even though you've still got it in another window."

    I hope they have to use it every minute of every day and it slowly drives them up the wall.

    And voilà, my own .

    I took some stuff from (like the noise texture, the border around the browser and some shortcuts like ⌘+T which now opens a Command modal that allows me to either open a new tab or search the web but also access to some shortcuts or settings)

    I also took from (the sidebar tabs that grow on hover)

    Huge thanks to the VivalArc Project that made 90% of the job. Kudos to https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/442315 for the solution for bigger favicons (wouldn’t have think this one would be the most difficult one tbh*) and to https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/637324 for the growing on hover.

    I’ve made several CSS tweaks to match by own goals but there it is, the perfect browser!

    Same page but this time the full address bar is shown (via a keyboard shortcut)
    same as before but this time the left tabs bar is hovered and tabs are larger so they show their name
    address bar is gone, but a modal is open in the middle of the screen, and offers different actions based on my input "bdx.town"
