  1. I firmly believe that #Windows #users who only #browse the #web, watch #movies, use #word processing and #email, and do some basic #photo #editing are much better off with #Linux than with #Windows11. This is likely true for 85% of home Windows users.

    You don't even have to make any major adjustments because the software looks almost identical on Windows and Linux:

    1) For #browsing use #Firefox (or #LibreWolf).
    2) For word processing use #LibreOffice.
    3) For emails use #Thunderbird.
    4) For movies use #VLC.
    5) For photo editing use #Gimp (or #Krita).
    6) There are now also better alternatives to many other Windows applications available on Linux...

    So please explain to me why #XDA thinks Linux is only for Windows users who just surf the web? source: xda-developers.com/linux-becom…

    Which Linux distribution do you recommend for #beginners switching from Windows?

    Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web

  4. Can I please have a browser that does not allow web pages to hijack the back button or copy function?

    Web developers: doing either of these things pisses me off enough that i don't want to go back to your site.

  8. We can only #browse algorithmically selected content on most #StreamingServices.

    Because of this, the services have degraded their ontologies (taxonomies?) of movies and shows.

    This basically means I can't tell the services, directly, that I *never* watch sports or big franchise movies.

    Which means that all I ever get to browse is stuff I don't watch.

    I'm not usually an old guy who says things were better "back in the day." But #browsing for TV and movies *was* better before #algorithms.

  10. I do want to test the Zen browser. Somehow the last years I got really caution with software I do now know only building thrust for that super slow.

    I do like the look and feel of it, coming from Firefox, which did stagnate in the development the last years.

    What do you think about the Zen browser?

  12. The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of #WestAustralia
    To plunder it #Woodside want to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system; and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.
    (1,500 species; resting and feeding area for migrating pygmy blue whales, manta rays, whale sharks, migratory birds, and green turtle hatchlings.)

    The EPA rejects #Browse part of #Woodside’s much larger #BurrupHub project.

  14. Modern, bloated websites are causing low-end devices to struggle

    "A hot potato: Modern websites that are unoptimized and bloated don't just mean slow loading times; they can completely fail to work on some lower-end devices. A recent report found that an entry-level phone, which was able to play PUBG at 40 fps, struggled with at several popular sites."

    „Oh, wow, that's such a #cool person I should #follow them.“

    #Boost that #toot!

    It's a #rule! ^__^

  23. I put vertical tabs for navigation in my firefox developer edition..

    followed the steps of ranmru22 - link below. But there is a problem that does not hide the native tabs.

    For this just add in the userChrome.css the code of the second image.
