I made the transition last summer and there was definitely growing pains. Over time it will become second nature like everything else. The advice I would give would be to be patient and accept that you have used a different operating system probably for over a decade, so there will be a learning curve initially.
Also, artificial intelligence models (especially Claude) are very useful for troubleshooting.
I use Floorp and JUMPED to it from Firefox because I had a mediocre Firefox experience. I fancy myself a power user and was not a fan. The idea that the majority who try Firefox and have issues are in the wrong and the minority who enjoy the experience are right seems backwards…
I had the exact same journey as you: Chrome to Chromium to Firefox to Floorp.
Different shortcuts, ways of customizing the browser, etc. the browser may feel like second nature to you currently, but for others, there’s friction in changing the software you’ve use for over a decade, and I say this as a current Floorp user
I’m not a user of brave, but I did a quick Google and it looks like they’re ad blocking will be unaffected. As for other extensions, I think that at least some will be supported for a year, while others may break immediately but I didn’t take too deep TBH
*An old free version that was purposefully hidden and buried by reverse SEO tactics, but yeah
If you are self hosting front end alternatives like teddit or nitter, libredirect is a great tool. Now, even when I browse the internet on my tablet, the extension will redirect to my server instance instead
💀 at making it a men’s rights issue.
From my perspective, it’s toxic to always get your audience worked up over minute things. That kind of content is what I tried to avoid hence my move to Lemmy
Is this the guy who always is over the top with his emotions in his videos?
Personally, I use Debian and gravitate towards flat paks, but I’m starting to question whether this is just one of those hills Linux users arbitrarily choose to die on a la systemd/wayland? I suppose one of the advantages of an opinionated OS is a vast array of opinions
It’s such a clickbait article title that no mainstream outlets are covering. At some point it just feels like bait for Democrats
They will have to live with the ramifications the longest. I suppose politics is always been that way where the least engaged suffer the most dire consequences
Chivalry doesn’t start w/ “I dislike you with a passion”
I think the issue is that as a very left-leaning individual, I’m less concerned about laughing at inept financial decisions and more concerned about policy and ways to ensure she never serves in office again.
This idea that “if they are losing we must be winning” is a brand of liberalism that hasn’t been as rampant pre-Trump. It feels like people are stooping to the level of Republicans and get off on schadenfreude instead of actual progressive policy and impact
Gotcha. I almost exclusively ride on a bike path so it doesn’t quite fit my needs, but I’ll keep an eye out for them regardless
Maybe if they had insider information or something that led to them making a guaranteed profit. Otherwise, it’s just inept speculation.
When cycling, did you find that they worked as good as or better than noise canceling earbuds to reduce wind?
i dislike her with a passion, but I’m not sure what this ‘journalism’ is looking to accomplish. If it was a uncontestably large amount of money and I think this could be a worthwhile article, but given their salaries and the money that they get from donors, I am not sure what the purpose of the article is outside of trying to poke fun at someone who is making poor financial decisions and try to get them on record with exactly how much money they lost.
If you think the title is hard to comprehend, try reading the actual article. I use Firefox (via floorp) but came away with the perspective that wasn’t as clearcut and bad for consumers as I expected. I don’t trust Google and I’m assuming that the largest negative impacts won’t be evident until the product actually launches, but the arguments in the article were not very convincing
We (read: Dems) can rally around him all we want. The point of the debate was to convince independents, uninformed voters never-Trumpers so that the polls start to look more favorable. Biden failed to do that and has no meaningful opportunity to do so for the rest of the campaign.
The informed Democrats can rally around him as much as they want, but he is still falling short, which is why a pivot seems risky but like the only real shot left
