Since most of the fediverse is run by volunteers, blocking ads isn't much of a concern.

Though I do agree with the sentiment and I love Firefox + uBlock Origin on my phone.

Oh thanks, I didn't know it's an abbreviation.

IIRC Apple only is 1st in sales revenue and sold devices of a single sku. All Android phones combined have a far bigger share by volume.

Which makes sense, since iPhones are on average incredibly expensive, especially for many countries where they have to be imported.

I've never seen any reason to believe Google has any say in the direction of Firefox. Google pays to be the default search engine, not more, not less.

This same argument could be brought up about Safari. All other browsers are based on Chromium anyway, so they are directly developed by Google themselves.

I got the first part about Chrome as a joke, but after I read the edit I wasn't sure anymore.

But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.

Why do you think that? I'm happy with Firefox. It let's me customize the tabs bar through userConfig.css to exclusively use tree style tabs and supports uBlock. That's all I really need from a browser, but, sadly, all other browser only support basic vertical tabs.

A lot of edge lovers here

I guess many here don't particularly like Chrome, just like they don't like Edge.

I.e. using a browser that spies on you to download another browser that spies on you doesn't seem like a great deal to me.

Both being based on Chromium there isn't even any performance difference between them. Insert "they are the same picture"-meme.

After using Fedora Atomic for around a year, I've switched my mom over from Linux Mint. Since then a few years've gone by and there's been no issues with automatic updates failing or not applying. That's awesome compared to regular issues with dpkg errors because of shutdown/power loss while updating.

Obviously release upgrades still require manual intervention, but that's an hour once a year for updating and testing if everything works as it should.

Personally I've switched to NixOS, because even with ublue image-based OS aren't great for configuring window managers. In general, image-based OS are especially awesome for long-running, low maintenance systems. I wouldn't want to use an OS which doesn't provide some kind of rollbacks anymore (btrfs snapshots is the minimum).

Edit:

Do you feel it's worth it to learn the nuances of their use?

Fedora Atomic is almost identical to regular Fedora, the difference is mostly how the root filesystem is managed:

The former are files from rpms get copied to an ostree image, which then gets mounted as the root file system.

For the latter dnf copies files from rpms to the root file system.

[...] did you manage to properly run AppImages [...]

They always worked flawlessly on everything except NixOS (because of no FHS-layout). Through distrobox they should work on any distro.

[...] trying to install Outline VPN [...]).

These kinds of not properly packaged apps are a big issue with ostree based systems. VPN provider apps need to be natively installed and usually aren't available in repos.

Busgelder vom Einkommen abhängig machen, sollte zusätzliches Geld in die Kassen spülen.

Damit wäre dann auch einer zunehmenden sozialen Ungerechtigkeit bei einem Verbot des abstellen von breiten Autos im öffentlichen Raum entgegengewirkt.

For me it's fine. These voices have gotten really good, so it's no longer a pain to listen to them. In this case the script is pretty concise for the most part, which makes the video a good overview over the project.

To me the bigger problem is that it makes it more difficult to spot generated content.

Transcoding and transcoded downloads does not seem to be merged yet, altough there's a working PR.

The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.

Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.

Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set UA to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don't have to care about the underlying OS...
