Musk would probably come close. He can shut down internet and stop your car if you own Tesla. And he already has his Space companies. On the other hand, if Meta takes off, Zuckerberg is a close candidate followed by Microsoft.

It’s scary that the Unity debacle is not just happening in games but a very real threat not just in digital and app space but in real life. It can happen in medicine, housing, even the food we eat if the trend of subscriptions and lock ins continue. Despite this, a global concerted effort towards Open Source tech is still not happening. In Unity for example, there is a push to transition to Unreal but less so for Godot. We see this happening with reddit too. And soon maybe we’ll see it in real life. What’s stopping our hotels and landlords from charging us everytime we open doors. We see this in the rampant mandatory tips. Where everyone is automatically charged per order. It’s scary and frustrating at the same time that there may not be a clear remedy for this. As the world shifts to subscriptions and services, do we truly own anything anymore?

Because libre office is not compatible with many others. You can open it sure but there’s no guarantee that opening .doc or .docx will have broken formatting. Not good for those in the academia or workplace where formatting are strictly enforce.

Why is there a SEARCH bar next to the bar where you can search anyway?
Muscle memory I guess. I associate the main bar with typing in websites. While the smaller one for search. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.
The icons are pinned tabs using sideberry and CSS from r/FirefoxCSS

Ehh. Different strokes, I guess. Too much minimalism for me becomes extra step. Like if remove the search bar, I would have to type in duckduckgo.com everytime I need to search. Without the pinned icons, I would have to type gmail everytime, for example. Firefox is my secondary desktop and I treat those icons as kind of like a mini app. :)

Same. @squizzy, I don't like microblogging in general either. I was raised in the golden era of forums (the days of phpBB and vBulletin). My twitter account hasn't been touched for years now.

Speaking as someone who's mostly on a laptop screen, that thing is big. When at home (which doesn't happen a lot these days), I connect my laptop to a more modest Xiaomi 1C Monitor 23.8 Inch. I am not a techie so I'm not sure what I can use a vertical monitor for though.

For some reason, this reminds me of the old digg. I'm feeling nostalgic. :)

Sleek and beautiful. And judging from that desktop, you've got a pretty big monitor.

I used sidebery and edited the userchrome.css using guides from r/FirefoxCSS
here's some guides for them:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/rmi8dg/yet_another_sidebery_setup/
- https://superuser.com/questions/1268732/how-to-hide-tab-bar-tabstrip-in-firefox-57-quantum
But for reference, here are the codes for them (since Reddit appears to be down at the time of this writing)
Here's the sidebery link on github
https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery
Note, to find your firefox profile folder:
Was tinkering with userchrome and sidebery this day and it got me thinking how others has their firefox customized. Let's bring the fun back to firefox. Share your screenshots. :)
So far, I tried Tabliss, Momentum and currently toying with Taskade. But the "unmodded" one is nice, too as it's faster. I'm wondering if anyone here has some opinions.
An old one. But this never fails to make my day whenever it pops up on my news feed. Russian officials deride Zelensky for being a comedian. But so many of them act like children in front of cameras. Tsk tsk.
It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won't be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(

Some of the older fandoms started out there and it existed when majority of the internet users are younger and just starting out so I can understand the quality. Some of my older works are still there and I cringe at them. But that said, there are some hidden gems in FFN not otherwise seen elsewhere.

I'm in the same boat. I started with Diablo 2 way back in elementary days. I never expected to play the same games as I do now. I still play generals, RA2 and Starcraft 2. Back to Diablo 2, I still play the same necromancer that I used to play. Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe there's really something in those games that made us keep coming back. Maybe it's the microtransactions rampant in today's games. Or the ack of "soul". But here we are, still playing the old games.
I know this has been discussed a lot but so far there is no TRUE cross platform ones that work and syncs for free. The closest is Joplin but that’s laggy and bloated. Anyone knows of an app that - Syncs - Works on iOS Windows and Linux - Free or affordable Some apps I tried - Bear app - my main so far but my macbook is aging so I am planning on getting a linux notebook and I have a windows desktop at home. I managed to stay with this the longest but only because I have an iphone, ipad and mac. But now, I want to try windows or linux as well. - Notion- laggy. Bonus: free with education account, (I have one and it works but I don’t like its interface and database nature. It’s not as simple to just type and go. - OneNote- laggy. At least for me. And definitely not open sourced. - Standard Notes- good features but very expensive for what it offers. Especially if you want to use sync. - Obsidian- not technically Open source but very popular. The sync is expensive though and does not even give you storage. It utilizes the space already on your device. Feels like a rip off. - Evernote- I like its price proposition better than Obsidian but its bloated. And I don’t like its ethics. Anyone else has ideas? :)
