ajayiyer, to linux

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

beta_tester,

This is how it could look like from now on fedoraproject.org/silverblue/ https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d46b2a9c-d42f-46d9-aa50-9aacce83adbc.png

beta_tester,

forge is awesome! Currently, I love PaperWM. Here are some suggestions https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/35d08a34-f9bc-400f-ba60-3c2c02b04613.png

Advice on where to begin with GUI programming?

I realize this is a very broad question, so to help I’ll mention that my primary experience with any programming language is Python. I’ve looked into C and C++ as well, but I haven’t written much in them; in part because they’re more involved, and in part because I get lost in the IDE weeds with’em (whether choosing an...

beta_tester,

Both, wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Builder a d kdevelop.org are great starts

beta_tester,

github.com/DLopezJr/fp may help until flatpak solves the usability issue

Because the Firefox browser is open-source, we know Firefox inside and out

Ok

Tip: you will still need to restart Firefox for the latest version.

That shows who the target group is

  1. To state that firefox is fully compatible with flatpak is great! That is a reason to use the flatpak version of it.
  2. Nice
  3. It’s nice to see better performance but you could’ve just told distro maintainers what to do
  4. Updates are fast even if you use the flatpak or distro build.

I use firefox btw

Edit: I compeltely forgot that ubuntu replaced firefox with the snap version. Is this the reason why they do it?

And, I don’t like that ubuntu replaced the distro firefox with snap but at the same time I don’t like that fedora still sticks with the distro firefox and not the flatpak version on atomics. I am nuts.

Edit2: I am not nuts! Ubuntu let’s you believe you install the apt version of firefox. Fedora shall replsce firefox with flatpak but it shall not pretend that it’s installed via rpm-ostree / dnf.

beta_tester,

On nautilus you can’t even click the address bar. On dolphin it still works as you say.

I didn’t even realize this until you wrote it down. That is bad. It’s the same on mobile. Consistent behavior is good. At first you select the box and then write into it. It’s good that it selects everything, otherwise you would have to select everything in order to be able to use it as the search box. It would be very annoying if it were differently.

That leads me to the question: why aren’t we using the path box to search stuff like on browsers? Dolphin even opens firefox and searches for “test” when I type just “test” into it. Why is http the default protocol?

beta_tester,

Hmm? You lose the namespace isolation, and by extension the chroot, but that’s it. It’s definitely nice to have, but to say it’s “most” of the sandboxing seems a misrepresentation. Note that some distros disable the kernel support for them by default, so that’s what they currently get regardless of Flatpak.

To firefox it doesn’t seem to be too bad.

beta_tester,

Finally I underdtand to whom I talk, thx

beta_tester,

You can save up to 77% if you buy now.

you can never save by buying something. I save if I don’t buy.

beta_tester,
  1. why
beta_tester,

I’d never use absolute paths unless it is a file that will always be there, e.g. system files, icons, etc.

beta_tester,

What has changed on android? Android isn’t mentioned in that post

How can I sync only one bookmarks folder across Firefox profiles and accounts, with their smart keywords?

If you don’t know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn’t matter as long as they have...

beta_tester,

Does the normal firefox sync not work?

You can use local syncing for your os. Or create symlinks for the folder, but I don’t know of the risks.

beta_tester,

After fennec comes mull.

The circle of life

beta_tester,

Yes

beta_tester,

This sounds more like a coordinated attack on matrix to ruin the system/ reputation/ joy

beta_tester,

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

beta_tester,

As soon as you’ve got enough storage you don’t need to care anymore. Just like I moved all my photos and videos to immich and I don’t need to care about my phone storage anymore

beta_tester,

May I ask what’s filling uo that space since you respond to my comment about having moved all media to a server which I can access instantly from anywhere.

beta_tester,

Doesn’t sound like you shiuld care about one or two gigs 😅

beta_tester,
