  Yeah, unfortunately LibreWolf’s a bit weird for me in ways I can’t live with.

  Also its onboarding process really needs work, the first time I used it I lost all my logins because I wasn’t fully aware LibreWolf doesn’t save any cookies by default, which kinda coloured my experience with it.

  What did Firefox that Vivaldi does better?

  So far:

  • No AI slop
  • Lower CPU usage
  • Broader set of extensions (old Chrome + Chrome V3 both supported)
  • Nicer interface with actually configurable sidebar
  • Configurable keybinds for everything
  • Mouse gestures

  But as I say, I’ve only been trying it for a few days, and there are several others I want to try before I settle on a permanent replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t settled yet, but I’m trying Vivaldi at the moment and liking it so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, if you must stay on Windows, you could switch to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is Windows 11 without the shitware and with ten years of guaranteed updates. The Mass Grave has the details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst part is, firefox isn’t better any more, it’s a bloated mess. I was a firefox user for over a decade and finally ditched it last week.

  Yeah, now people are free to know the opinions of the rich person that trained the AI model they use instead of a search engine, or the rich person that controls the social network they use! /s

  Sorry to break this to you, but you’re gay, because it’s absolutely OK to lie to officials.

  1. Emigrate.

  3. Emigrate.
  4. Emigrate.
  5. Emigrate.

  I’d say no too. I don’t fully know your situation, but based on what information you’ve provided, I worry you’re blindly following a guide without thinking through the possible end game. If that’s true, I worry that you’re going to get caught and you’re going to get in a hell of a lot of trouble.

  Ohh I love a good Bad Guy Fight

  I respectfully disagree. :)

  The true mild infuriation is journalists who speak in sentence fragments, have never heard of the ampersand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's CS2 Update adds Paid Skin-Offer-Gambling - YouTube 3kliksphilip⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t need to monetize.

  Valve is already a stupidly profitable company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨offline e-mails⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Once you’ve downloaded all your emails, if you go to Tools > Export, you can back up your entire profile there.

  I’d recommend you set up archiving first (I have it archive to year then year-month, but what works for you may differ), then Ctrl+A to select all your messages and click the Archive button. This’ll make the archive a bit more manageable.

  Then you simply take the backup to another machine and do Tools > Import. All your messages will be imported, and you’ll have a well-organised history complete with full-text search on both machines. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Something something, Mass Grave.

  Also, if you specifically want Windows, get Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC edition. It’s Windows 11 minus the crapware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My relocation story isn’t nearly so dramatic as others. I only moved two counties across. But I did it for love. I met someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I moved to live with her. I work retail for a supermarket chain, my job exists pretty much everywhere, I was even able to get an internal transfer. Her job only exists in one place. So, living closer to her work was pretty much a no-brainer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick I use is: I am here to exchange time for money. Whatever happens during that time, I really don’t care. The company tells me what to do during those hours and I do it to the best of my ability. Someone complains at me? I don’t care. Someone makes me do extra work? I don’t care. Someone’s having fun behind the trash compactor for the fourth time this month? I don’t care. A customer attacks me because we’re out of a particular single beer can, even though we have it in different sizes and multipacks? …ok, that one was fucking hilarious in retrospect and I’ve dined out on that story for a decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨would you visit an authoritarian country if you had the chance to live there up to 4 weeks for free even if you believe multiparty democracy to be something non negotiable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as long as I live in China

  Just something to consider: Are you sure they’ll let you leave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Golf Cartification of My City⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here in the UK, a friend of mine got stopped for pushing his motorbike home from the pub because he felt he was too drunk to safely ride it. Rather than recognising he was doing the right thing by walking and not riding, they hit him with drunk in charge and he got points on his licence. Just a reminder that ACAB.

  Yes, they definitely make 3 litre bottles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did a teenager actually just die from eating raw noodles?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that you point it out, that was actually a typo, I meant 3l. But I’m not gonna edit it because I find it funny. :)

  I’d like smaller games made by smaller teams with smaller budgets and worse graphics that take longer to develop, and I’m not even joking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did a teenager actually just die from eating raw noodles?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d imagine it’s like downing an entire 4l bottle of Pepsi Max. Seems innocuous, but you’re gonna have a bad time.
