It worked surprisingly well for my Epson so. Connect to WiFi, all devices find it, including Linux ones, without additional drivers or software.

Additional software is needed for photo prints (color management and stuff like that) and (maybe?) scanning. I didn't try scanning without additional software, as I installed it with the photo print software. And since that software inly works under Windows anyway, I never bothered with scanning under Linux.

Printing works just fine so.
It’s the old stereotype of management wanting to see their staff, measuring them by whether they can see them rather than measuring them by their work output.

It feels to me like older generations that have never adjusted their management style, and now people are working remotely, they’re mad or scared.
Don't you aspire to do the right things, or at least to avoid doing the wrong things? I don't understand what drives you. You were pestering your friends to switch to Signal and Firefox for privacy reasons and then you bought GAFAM stock?
Aren't you actively going against your ideals by doing this?

Also, what a mix up! You managed to mention pedophiles in your comment?!

Your reasoning is very hard to follow.

You mention being semi-sarcastic and then you write "Unfortunately I am not joking on the above". What a mess. You really need to clear up your writing if you want to be understood.

And that "Unfortunately": you have leverage on what you do, you know? If you find what you do "unfortunate", change something! We can't do it for you.
you can deactivate them. In my installation on linux they were disabled by default and it asked me if I wanted to activate them (just one time) to support the browser

Just came across this and wanted to share it here for more visibility – it's currently at 11 GitHub stars. I'm not the author, but as someone who frequently uses Typora, I've often felt the lack of certain features that are common in other tools, such as callouts. This community-driven plugin system seems like a promising way to bridge those gaps.

DDG search (same setup, in Android Firefox) is quite slower for me than Google search, it needs a few good seconds to bring the search results. No idea why this might be.
Give it another go. Mozilla's own extension called multi account containers is pretty good and it has more features than just grouping tabs together.

And there's also the panorama view extension, which looks really nice and I've seen people use it extensively.
I think about it a lot, and had some weakly structured thoughts about it:

- when you picture the sickly sweet Boomer American dream of 60s or 70s, you see a suburban family, maybe some high-level blue collar job for the dad and a "homemaker" mum, living in a big house in a pretty suburb of some no-name town.

- I guess these blue collar jobs don't exist anymore. Jobs that pay a medium-to-high salary require high specialisation. It's no longer the days of car companies building entire cities and herding people to them, providing housing, training and a salary.

- the qualifications are also expensive to acquire. If we now say a university degree is a prerequisite to entering the race, and it costs O(100k) then your chance of getting on the gravy train is very small, unless you come from money yourself.

- so I guess, it's easier to grow a less developed economy than a more developed one. The US used to grow by the pluck and bravery of bricklayers building Empire State Building by hand, now it's the highly skilled hands of bioengineers in start up labs.

- out expectations of success have skyrocketed too. Did the boomers of 60s and 70s who made it go on holiday abroad every year? Did they have iPhones and lots of other gadgets? Thinking about films from the era, they seemed happy with a house and a hot family meal at the end of the day.

- GDP per capita outperforms inflation in the US, and yet median standard of life is decreasing. I guess that tells you that more of what is produced is distributed unevenly, to "the rich". I mean, to some extent that happens always, but it's probably gone too far.

- finally, and that's possibly controversial, but how much of the American Dream was fuelled by the "underclasses": ethnic minorities and women. People who contributed to GDP but didn't get to reap the fruit of their work. The US south first became rich literally off slave work, and arguably emancipation is still under way. Ditto for women. But then, have Black Americans experienced a larger increase in the standard of living than say White Americans? My impression is not; eg the previous boom may have been at their expense, but does not explain why it is over now.

hilarious. +1 any blog where you explain the process?
The way it used to work.

Now, you just about manage to buy a tiny starter home in your late 30s or 40s. You just about pay it off by the time you retire if you're lucky. You could never afford to get a bigger house.

Or you're in a shared ownership scheme because you could never buy the whole small flat you "purchased"...
There still issues with the FF on android, I have apps that redirect a page (eg for authentication in most of the cases) to the web browser and waiting back a response from it to continue, this works on on chrome but alas not FF

Back in 1998?9? I modified a Postscript font to introduce some random jiggling[0] to make it look organic. Worked pretty well. Would occasionally go nuts and you'd get carnage but definitely workable for doing, e.g., sheets of address labels for competition entries which would often reject / frown upon "computer-aided entries".

But I think TTF and OTF engines ignore randomness these days and all you're left with is the rotate/swap methods mentioned here[1]

[0] I was just copying the idea off something else I'd seen recently; probably the Beowulf PS font where "each point in each letter in every word on the page would move randomly, giving the letters a shaken, distraught appearance"

In general, Vim on an iPhone (via iSH, a-Shell, or iVim) works surprisingly well. I thought the idea was ridiculous until I gave it a proper try (even though I was already a Vim user on “real” computers), since it doesn’t really leverage the touch interface for e.g. cursor movement and scrolling.

However, Vim’s design gives you maximum expressive power per key you press - and since pressing each key on an iOS keyboard is a bit inconvenient, this design philosophy ends up working really well on a soft keyboard. Moreover, most common actions can be done without special keys (i.e. arrow keys, ctrl/meta modifiers, etc.) which I usually find awkward to use on augmented mobile keyboards. With Vim, you can get quite far using just a standard iOS with an added Esc key (all of the apps I mentioned above adds an Esc key).

If you use Vim on desktop/laptop but haven’t tried it on iOS, I’d recommend giving it an hour of trial sometime, at least if you sometimes want to edit code on the go. (Personally, I rarely do that, but I like that I can.)
I got a brother B+w laser printer 4 years ago, plugged it into a switch and all my macs and iPhones found it, can print to it, and it just sits there waiting for a thing to print. Still on the original toner.

Isn’t Google Drive supposed to be a mirror, duplicate, of your data for ease of access? Their desktop app seems designed around this idea from the very beginning.

Sounds like very risky to do as some users have reported and running their company off Google Drive with no local drive counterpart! Why in heavens name not. Drives are cheap.

Even many years ago, I had some issues uploading a few thousand files at once and never really relied on it as a critical infrastructure service but always saw it more like an automated cloud backup or convenience service geared for consumer use at best.

You need to be in good charge of your own data first and foremost. Then it can be nice if a recovery scenario helped you in that Google had some files too of course.
What is the security concern of Firefox over chromium?
Brave Rewards, which is what you are complaining about, is opt in.
Yeah but if Google keeps removing the ability to block content then Firefox will be more secure simply by filtering dynamic content from unknown domains. Drive by attacks are the most common way to spread malware, this is exactly what extensions like noscript prevent.

This isn't the first time Chrome has crippled user ability to filter content on a deep level.

So it doesn't matter how much hardening Chrome has if it allows for drive by download attacks from unknown domains.

This had me thinking about digital NIMBYism. Suggest others do one thing, while you do the opposite, because your reasons make sense.

You still haven't addressed PCSX2's, or anyone else's, concrete reasons.
I wrote a command line tool which tells me "Now look at the following page" and opens it a browser window with the url.

Uh where do you see the browser? You mean maybe the settings pages? Otherwise I only see a standard window frame around a webpage, and can't even imagine it being different.
What? We're not refusing to "pay other software companies a few bucks for their engineering work", we refuse to give in to the extortion attempts of a greedy multi-billion dollar company.

I have and will keep financially supporting software I find useful. However, I do agree that it's questionable whether you can easily replace Google as a source of funding.
If you want a basic model that works over wifi and prints from your phone, get the HL-L2340DW.

If you want one that additionally has PCL 6 support for universal compatibility, get the slightly more expensive HL-L2375DW.

I have both, no regrets.
Reddit Is Fun (rif) was a well-designed app that just worked. It was fast, had a customisable user interface with defaults that didn't get in the way of enjoying the content, and could run on all of my devices easily, including an Android 7 phone from 2018. It's a shining examplar of what a mobile browsing app should be like.

By comparison, the official Reddit app feels somewhat slower, even on my relatively new Android 12 phone from 2021, having a very noticeable lag when scrolling through articles and comments. For video and photo posts, there's no way of browsing the comments without clicking on the thumbnail and having it auto-play the videos every time, meaning I need to react fast to pause the video (there is practically no way of stopping this). And it doesn't support Android 7 anymore, meaning the only way to access it from my 2018 phone is via the browser.

It baffles me why Reddit would want to cut support for 3rd party apps when they were a key component in the Reddit ecosystem.
> things like piHole should get a 'new' lease of life.

You could never implement what ublock origin does with simple DNS blocking. The way ublock origin works is by going after cross domain requests.

But I imagine an HTTP proxy of some kind could do it. You’d get slightly higher latency (because you’d have to parse the HTML doc twice)

But installing a chrome extension is piece of cake.

Setting up a “pi hole” or proxy will never be as easy. So if even a few percent of users don’t bother, then Google makes more money selling ads.

$$ That’s all that matters really. We’re taking about a company that stopped innovating and releasing new products eons ago. They’re just milking what they have until it dies.
From a 2006 review of the trilogy, https://jetpress.org/volume15/latorra.pdf

> These books are that most rare combination of riveting story-telling and deep thinking on issues of personal identity, cultural diversity, economics, politics, artificial intelligence and evolution, all served up in polished prose of unusually elegant style and wit.

> … The Golden Oecumene has no real government. It has a legal system of sophotech judges, and a popular assembly called the College of Hortators. The College debates issues and makes decrees that are only enforced by moral suasion.
This turns out to be as effective as any legislation in an earlier age, because to flout a decree of the College of Hortators is to risk being censured and shunned. Shunning is an age-old practice … In the far future of the Golden Oecumene, shunning is even more effective because it is implemented through sense filtering. The shunned person is not merely ignored; he is literally invisible.
Blink is the de facto web standard like it or not just like linux is for web hosting and both are open source and contributed to by many companies. Firefox is now in 5th place for browser market share and Mozilla is a dumpster fire of a company, imo it is only a matter of time before Firefox switches or completely folds.
One caveat that is easy to miss: Files that are shared with you are not exported if you are over quota or are part of an organization that is over their quota. You either need to manually download everything locally or find a different tool for getting these files.
I believed, until you said PayPal support was helpful. PayPal support is what I envision the DMV in Soviet Russia was like.

The outcome is support that makes you feel like you're bothering them, is barely concealing their hostility, lies about what's happening, and one wrong word and horrible, horrible things will happen to you.

That's PayPal support on the best of days, like after the support person just received a 20% raise, or had a baby. On the bad days...

For those who can't switch away from Chrome extensions yet I recommend trying Vivaldi

Made by Opera browser Founder

https://vivaldi.com
While not browser based, Thonny is designed speciffically for education https://thonny.org .

For beginners the main advantage is the easy install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment. I've seen it used successfully in remote teaching classes for absolute beginners working on their own machines.

IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready.
I founded TherapyRoute out of a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of therapy, both from personal experience and over 20 years as a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. My mission was to bridge the gap between those seeking therapy and the therapists eager to help them. TherapyRoute makes finding the right therapist anywhere in the world effortless and personalized. We champion accessible, evidence-based therapy tailored to individual needs and identities. It's not just about connecting people with therapists; it's about upholding the integrity of therapy in a digital age, supporting independent therapists, and, most importantly, honouring each person's unique journey towards mental wellness. TherapyRoute is more than a directory; it's a commitment to authentic, effective, and inclusive mental health care

I keep seeing Edge mentioned as a worthy alternative, and I just don't get it.

First, all Chromium-based browsers will eventually block uBlock Origin for the sole reason that they can't maintain Manifest v2 on their own, and they all rely on Chrome's Web Store anyway. This won't happen immediately because Manifest v2 will probably stick around for longer because of enterprise users, but the writing is on the wall.

Then there's the fact that Edge is just Microsoft's spyware, being worse in my book than Google's Chrome. And people forget that Microsoft is also an advertising company. Even if that's not their main revenue source, they also hate your ad-blockers.

In the EU, when you open Edge for the first time, they ask you to agree to sharing your personal data with the entire advertising industry, via an IAB dialog. And there's no way to workaround it, you have to answer it (with the rejection being an agreement to “legitimate interest” claims, which are BS). Google's Chrome does not do this, and searching on google.com only asks for sharing of data with Google itself.

Edge also exposes an advertising ID, meant for Bing's Ads, much like what Chrome does for Google. And in true Microsoft spirit, it also has telemetry, which you can't turn off.

Edge doesn't end-to-end encrypt your synchronized data. Compared with Chrome, which at least supports an “encryption passphrase” that does e2e encryption. Don't get me wrong, Chrome is also cursed because with a passphrase, they don't synchronize all your history. And also, they keep turning on that option for sharing your browsing history with Google, for the purpose of improving search. But in terms of what browser is more adversarial towards users, Edge is worse, IMO.

And Edge is hard-coded to use Bing. It's harder to use Edge without Bing or Microsoft's online services, than it is to use Chrome without Google. Personally, I don't want my browser to tie me to certain online services.

Seriously, Edge is just Microsoft's spyware and a piece of crap. Other Chromium alternatives, like Vivaldi or Brave, are better, firstly because they aren't so adversarial. Or if you're on macOS, give Arc a try.

Maybe Vivaldi would be a good fit for you?
While I would always advise against copy pasting from the web to your win host file, this actually looks like a really nice list to block.
So stick with chrome where the chrome team focuses on features that make the Web worse, like manifest v3 and cohorts.

So what's wrong with Super+N? I'm struggling to see the need for a completely new browser instance when you only want another window.
If I were running Mozilla I would be aggressively investing the Google money until it's at a point where the interest on that investment is enough to sustain the entire operation.

The problem is, Mozilla is full of NGO types who don't care about the browser, and use the money stream to fund pet projects. If the spigot gets shut off, they don't care, they'll jump ship to some other non profit and will keep "making the world a better place" there. Meanwhile the entire internet will be worse off because of it.

Even at a 5% interest rate, the $500M that Google has given Mozilla over the years would be returning $25M p.a. That can fund quite a few six figure salaries, indefinitely, while maintaining independence.
Not the End of the World
Yes, that is exactly what I am experiencing.

You cannot start FF from the Desktop and then start new windows from a shell.

Unless that shell was directly started from the desktop.

So it must have something to do with the environment or process tree.
Also worth considering that simulating the universe for billions of years could run on the equivalent of a raspberry pi in some higher order universe. It just seems huge to us because we are living in it

To me, the earlier games come with less complexity but with more micromanagement. I played SMAC again some time ago, and it's fun early to mid game, but towards the late game the sheer number of cities and units is just overwhelming. I think Civ 2 was in many respects similar although it's been a long time since I played that.

The greater relative cost and lower number of both cities and units means that to me there seem to be a smaller number of things to micromanage in Civ 5. Units embarking themselves means you don't have to herd them into transports.

The lack of unit stacking and the inability to move any units together automatically (even the ones that do stack) does cause quite a bit of micromanagement, though, so that's true.
This is out of date; Google avoids tape exactly because the restore process sucks.
It doesnt help that Mozilla waste a lot of money on useless projects
This is a big thing that happens w/ microservices: your system is implemented as a Tower of Babel (it's oddly touted as a feature). In that scenario, you no longer have good choices, you're constantly reimplementing things with slight differences in multiple languages, the maintenance overhead and defect rate is sky high, etc. The big bad here is having the "10 different languages" problem in the 1st place.
Same. Specially the developer tools. I don't know how people can work with chrome's developer tools when Firefox's looks waaaaay better.
