Gargron, to firefox
@Gargron@mastodon.social avatar

is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

@darth @Gargron Servo could be perfect in the near future, but it's not quite ready yet.

I might start working on a Servo browser now, though, in preparation. It might also be a good excuse to learn Rust.

@jeremy_list @Konstantin @Gargron Not to mention that Google deliberately slows down some webpages (e.g. YouTube) if you have a non-Chrome user agent. It's the classic formula of "create a problem, sell a solution".

    @noellemitchell I've been using Bluesky for a while, and my circle is very nice. Is it better than Fedi? Not really. It's just different. Am I going to keep using it? Until things start getting paywalled or full of ads, by which point I would imagine there will be other, better, and decentralised implementations of AT that I could move to.

    Fedi to the bitter end, though!

    I kinda super dislike my posts about politics and mostly Trump since it's often negative and I'm not about that but..

    ..it feels the threat is so incredibly high, I must do whatever I can to get as many of us to the "non destroying side" of history

    Somehow the upcoming US election feels very definitive, even for a not-American. There is so much at stake on a global level

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @stux I mean, back in 2021, I kinda figured 2024 was going to be the year when (even if all hell doesn't break loose) the stakes are highest. After all, there are a lot of elections happening, a few treaties and agreements expiring, and also the year a lot of people and companies said they would do things by.

    I'm also turning 18 this year and leaving school.

    @Linux_Is_Best @stux Good idea, but I'm pretty sure they have their own instance, https://social.bbc

    Do you want anything "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) in your (future) phone/mobile device?

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @stux I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it would REALLY improve Siri. On the other hand, practically all AI at the moment is problematic, and there's no reason why Apple's attempt would be any different.

    @lukhash Teletext itself isn't a thing here in the UK, but you can sometimes access Red Button on BBC One and BBC Two (mainly during news programs), which serves the same purpose.

    You also used to be able to play games using Red Button on the kids' channels (Cbeebies and CBBC); but that might not be a thing anymore, since I haven't watched either channel since the early 2010s.

    Does anyone else ever have a period of a few hours where nothing happens? Like, literally nothing? I feel like I'm the only person on the internet right now.

    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    I'm considering creating another personal , but for more formal things like writing articles and programming updates, as opposed to the usual stuff I have on my site. It'll also have a simpler design, optimised more for reading than having a fun appearance.

    I'll most likely buy a domain from ; but Neocities requires a subscription in order to use a custom , so does anyone have any suggestions for cheap or free web that I could use?

    This morning, I walked all the way to the other side of town to drop off a parcel. Then, immediately after I'd walked all the way back, I got a notification to say that a parcel had just been delivered to the exact same locker for me to pick up.

    Welp. Better get back to the other side of town!

    Since I've just moved to a new server, I think it's time for another .

    I am Edan, a 17-year-old nonbinary student from the UK. Pronouns are they/them.

    I'm working on my A-Levels, and I like to do a plethora of completely unrelated hobbies in my spare time. These include :blobcatcode: programming, ✍️ writing, 🎼 composing, 🔧 tinkering, 🥘 cooking,🚶 walking, :blobfoxdarkghost: going slowly insane, and playing :minecraft_creeper: Minecraft.

    I also run :linux: Linux and :freebsd: BSD.

    It's that time again where I would urge everyone to read "Little Brother" by @pluralistic

    It's available for free at https://craphound.com/littlebrother/, but I would of course recommend buying a physical copy.

    @bitwarden Are there any plans to add security recommendations, like Keychain has? It would be handy to know how many of my passwords are the same or have been breached.

    @astian I heard you guys were planning to release Midori on iOS. Is there a TestFlight or IPA yet? Or is the project still in an early stage of development?

    EdanOsborne,
    @EdanOsborne@mstdn.social avatar

    @astian Actually, out of interest, what engine will it be using? WebKit would make sense, but it would be possible to have Gecko now.
