I’m gonna chalk it up as yet another problem with Firefox Mobile. I really want to like it, but it doesn’t make it easy haha
I’ll probably try again another time on something Chromium-based
Find me on Mastodon, if you want.

My Odyssey G7’s panel also fell off 2 weeks before the end of the warranty.
In addition to that, the Odyssey series also has a weird issue where if certain conditions are met, the entire screen will dip in brightness and display horizontal lines. It’s very distracting. They’re aware of the issue (as many people have reported it) but they aren’t doing anything to fix it. I won’t be buying another.
I filled it all in and the button at the end didn’t work. That’s 20 minutes I’m never getting back :/
Not to mention VSCodium already exists.
That’s exactly what an old person would say!
Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

As someone who tried NixOS recently for the first time, it feels like an uphill battle.
Some immediate concerns I have as a newbie are below. Bear in mind that I’m a single user on a single system.
Organisation is daunting as fuck
Even a relatively simple desktop config seems rather large to me. I expect the complexity of my config to balloon if I were to use this as my primary OS. There seems to be no consensus on how things should be separated.
I’ve heard home-manager is good, but I don’t really get the point of it. What does it achieve for me that editing configuration.nix doesn’t? I’ve yet to find a benefit. It’s just another place to dump endless configs and another command to remember to run.
Installing software feels like the roll of a dice
I installed NixOS to try Hyprland, and their docs say to just use programs.hyprland.enable = true
, which I’ve come to learn is a module. But that’s not the only way to install things! You also have system packages and user packages! I just want to install some software, I don’t want to have to look up whether it’s a module or a package every time I want something new. I’m never sure what I should add to which section. No other distro that I know of has this problem! Having 3 different places to add software seems excessive. What am I using? Windows? And now there’s Flakes too. I’m sure they’re great, but right now I just see them as yet another way to install software on Nix. Great.
There’s more, but I’ll leave it there for now. I’m sure there are reasonable answers to all that I’ve said, but I’m just frustrated. I really want to like Nix, but it’s not making it easy.
tl;dr: Two things. 1) Lack of consensus on how configs are organised is confusing. 2) Having 3 different ways of installing software (modules/packages/flakes) does not feel better than apt install
or pacman -Syu
etc.
This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.
A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.
I’m a zoomer and I also have no fucking idea what this is
I hate them too.
I come to news sites to read articles, not watch videos. If I wanted to watch videos I would go to YouTube. It’s as simple as that.
Making them autoplay is just adding insult to injury (as well as wasting bandwidth for literally no reason).
Let’s do some napkin maths while we think how much energy has been wasted by autoplaying a video for every visitor.
If I were to guess, the video player pre-caches a few seconds of content, maybe up to 10. That’s a fair few MB worth of reasonable quality video/audio data. Now multiply that for every single visitor. That’s a lot of wasted energy. The page itself is likely ~1MB in size (at least you’d hope), so they’re potentially increasing their costs by an order of magnitude by having the videos autoplay.
It’s monumentally stupid.
If you supported the dev you’d pay to remove the ads. Clicking the ads would also support them.
It’s alright to like an app just because it’s familiar. I feel the same way with Boost.
I’m in the UK and it doesn’t work for me either, even after changing my question 4 or 5 times. It’s probably region-locked.
What would be the purpose of connecting such a list to the fediverse?
She was basically the first internet doxx.
This isn’t doxxing, this is just the internet spreading lies.
Doxxing is publishing personal/private information about someone online, which didn’t happen in this story.
Verified accounts only
With the prevalence of generative AI, it’s becoming more and more difficult to trust an image (and soon videos will follow), so how will people verify themselves? Not many people will want to hand over their government-issued ID to a random company.
Even if that wasn’t an issue, how would the service survive? What would be the monetisation strategy (assuming good will)?
Holy shit, Math Blaster 9-12. You just threw me back SO far. I just had a vivid image in my mind’s eye of the home office I played it in.
Thank you for the throwback.
This is who all the people who pronounce “gif” as “jif” worship
I second this.
You’re using them exactly as intended, and that’s a good thing.
Being on benefits alone does not mean people dislike you. I think the way most people see it is that there are two groups: the people who try and get jobs and use benefits to live in the meantime, and the ones who intentionally coast by and live on the taxpayers money without ever intending to work honestly.
You are part of the former group. The good ones. So please don’t feel guilty for accepting help.
