After 2 years of having this Mac, I discovered today (from a Mac-owning colleague) that the top right button is for fingerprint ID. I could have been logging in with my thumb this WHOLE TIME!

@pamelafox yes its so great I am going to buy a non mac laptop with a fingerprint scanner

Mobile-Friendly-Firefox (Friendly-Fox) Updates:

Thanks to 1peter10 for submitting Issue #4 to inform me that Firefox 123 had broken the Tab Manager button. The fix was easy; I just needed to revert back to my original, and in my opinion less-than-optimal, method of placing the Tab Manager button onto the Nav Bar. This update fixes the issue, at the cost of losing that single-pixel thick line across the top of the Nav Bar, which had a proper gradient effect when using the Private Browsing Purple style. The line was necessary to better replicate the Firefox for Android (Fenix) app, but I would assume that not a single person has noticed its absence.

  • Modified single_tab_mode-alt.css, alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css, single_tab_mode.css, true_mobile_landscape-alt.css, true_mobile_landscape.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode.css, fenix_theme.css, fenix-alt.css, fenix.css, fenix_fox-alt.css, fenix_fox.css, fenix_one-alt.css, and fenix_one.css:

    • fix for Firefox 123: replace #nav-bar padding with width shortening to unhide Tab Manager button
      • After the Firefox 123 update, the Nav Bar was being placed on top of the Tab Manager button, despite z-index parameters set to do the opposite.
      • This commit places these elements side-by-side, rather than one on top of the other.

  • Modified single_tab_mode-alt.css, alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css, single_tab_mode.css, true_mobile_landscape-alt.css, true_mobile_landscape.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode.css, fenix-alt.css, fenix.css, fenix_fox-alt.css, fenix_fox.css, fenix_one-alt.css, and fenix_one.css:

    • changed #PanelUI-menu-button position from "absolute" to "fixed"
      • This change is necessary for better compatibility with Firefox 123

  • Modified fenix_colors.css, fenix_one-alt.css, and fenix_one.css:

    • make #nav-bar transparent and use body element as Nav Bar background
      • This change is necessary for better compatibility with Firefox 123

  • Modified popups.css, true_mobile_landscape-alt.css, true_mobile_landscape.css, fenix_fox-alt.css, fenix_fox.css, fenix_one-alt.css, and fenix_one.css:

    • Generic fix for popups, fixes 'allow this extension to run in private mode' dialog*

  • Modified popups.css:

    • fix date-picker, see upstream #63 for details*

  • Modified urlbar.css:

    • Hide translate and picture-in-picture icon*

  • Modified friendlyfox.desktop, friendlyfox.sh, customize.sh, update.sh, install.sh, and .mff-rm-old.sh:

    • fixed permission issue by modifying find command to send errors to the bitbucket

  • Modified update.sh:

    • fixed spacing of user selection options

  • Modified README.md:

    • document the options changed by the "Recommended Preferences" (Thanks to X-m7)
    • modified description and added "Compatibility" section
    • fixed download links

*Thanks to 1peter10 for submitting pull requests in mobile-config-firefox (fenix branch) that have been implemented in this release of Mobile-Friendly-Firefox (FriendlyFox).

@user0 How does that config compare to the postmarket os one?

jason123santa,
@jason123santa@fosstodon.org avatar

@user0 tried the mobile config on my pinephone and it works even better than the postmarketos one
everything is made to adapt to mobile even the settings

jason123santa,
@jason123santa@fosstodon.org avatar

@user0 That is great.

The bar on the top is not great but the bar on bottom is even better. The top bar gets hidden by the search results

I did try a few of the configurations and found the one I like best

There was this iOS art app called something like 'n0thing' ages ago. It was really inspiring to me and I have wanted something like it for years. The premises is that you open it and take a picture of a shape and it saves a vector of the shape with a normalized color of the shape. So its like a "gotta collect em all" but for shapes

jason123santa,

@kev Obviously this would be much cooler on your genuine Casio F-94W but I do think the strap suits the style.

@ruari @RL_Dane @82mhz @kev Looks like it was only 49 cents so $0.49 usd but tax made it go up to $1.07 but at least there is no import tax

Attention Sid users: latest package (v. 123.0.6312.58-1) update is broken. Lots of pages crashing, some load fine for a minute or so, then freeze. Impossible to work on O365 on it. Holding on to your current version is highly advised (until at least this passes!)

@kzimmermann That is why I use debian stable

#K9Mail integration with #OpenKeychain #pgp stuff is kinda broken after an update to the former. The app crashes everytime I write an email, because I have draft encryption enabled

This is so sad :'c

jason123santa,

@joel I went off of k9 because the mail I send does not go to my sent box. It might be only encrypted mail but still.
So I use fairemail now and its great

jason123santa,

@joel I know that is an option and its enabled but it never works. It works on thunderbird and fairemail

how terrifying

jason123santa,
@jason123santa@fosstodon.org avatar

@kaia It's totally true. I am one of the only people I know that has an android phone out of everyone I know. Its a few people that have a different phone. Then mostly older people have android phones. I know someone who had an android phone since the galaxy SII days.
Though with the younger generation its getting worse with the iphones. Older people don't care as much.
It truly sucks but I don't care much

I am thinking about selling my pinebook pro and getting a thinkpad.
A thinkpad would be much more powerful and at the price I could sell my pinebook pro for I could get a nice thinkpad. But the battery life on the pinebook pro is quite good.

jason123santa,
@jason123santa@fosstodon.org avatar

@linmob What I looked at for the price I could sell my pinebook pro for I could get something that would be more powerful. But the rk3399 does have 6 cores and those intel cpus in most laptops don't have 6 core cpus. But it does not mean the rk3399 is going to be faster.
If the person who likes arm says that thinkpads that are not arm is great then it might be worth replacing my pinebook pro with a thinkpad.

Stop complaining about 8 gigs of RAM on a $1600 machine. Don’t you realize every M3 Mac comes with this amazing bit of software?

jason123santa,
@jason123santa@fosstodon.org avatar

@paul There was one time when I had double the ram usage on just the terminal. 8gb of ram but the terminal was using about 24gb. I have a screnshot of it on the laptop.
Ran some python script that printed every number and put a HUGE number in it.
Macos kept telling me it was running low on ram till I took a screenshoot and I think I just had to force close the terminal.

Finally putting my x230 to rest, the last sudo poweroff. Hardware is failing beyond the point that makes continuing to repair it worthwhile.

On this laptop I deployed nearly 60 servers (most for at risk groups), 12 tech art projects (solo & collab, some toured worldwide), & gave many lectures & workshops.

If there was ever a loyal and electric steed, it was this x230. It ran #Debian & was good.

I bought it in 2015, for EUR145 on the German eBay, 2nd hand.

I have some acer laptops and the pinebook pro but not a thinkpad.
