Look what fell off a truck in Base64.

To add to this, I suggest sorting the comments by controversial on Reddit for another take.

One point for Brave, is that they have specifically said they will continue to support Manifest v2 in their browser.

What system are you on that Firefox is laggy? I’ve had no real issues on Windows, Mac, or Linux in the past few years.

Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo is just Bing with additional privacy these days. Effectively is is what Startpage is for Google.

Brave Search is one of the only independent search indexes available these days. Others include Mojeek and Qwant, but neither are as good as Brave Search.

You can with Firefox Focus! Though to be clear, safari with AdGuard is much better. Even better when used together NextDNS and the HaGaZi blocklist.

All I want from Digikam is support for Apple’s Live Photos. Not having a good way to incorporate those photos into Digikam, is a huge barrier to me moving fully away from Apple. It should be basic functionality at this point. Live Photos have been around for nearly a decade, and even rudimentary support for them would go a long way.

Wow, somehow this escaped me all these years. I feel like I’ve got a bunch of fresh XKCD to read now.

For the uneducated: On a mobile browser you just press and hold the comic (long tap). On a computer you hover over the image and the alt text will appear next to the cursor.

The alt text in this one was:

For what it’s worth, Apex Legends literally runs smoother on my Arch Linux install than my Windows 10 install. It was completely unexpected, but a very welcome discovery.

Just started with using Lunatask to help keep myself on task, and help me remember a lot of the little things I tend to forget. I’m still learning what the app is fully capable of, but it’s been super helpful to me so far.

It is an end-to-end encrypted, cross-platform, todo list, notebook, habit and mood tracker, and journaling app built with ADHD brains in mind. The creator has also expressed some willingness to open source in the future, but there is no guarantees there.

Just started with using Lunatask to automate a lot of the daily stuff I have to remember. Still learning what the app is fully capable of, but it’s pretty awesome.

Yeah, and housing prices are completely out of control. Not building new homes seems like a great way to enable it to keep rising.

We honestly need to find a way to properly incentivize the farms to conserve water. Charging large scale farmers appropriately for water usage seems like an important part of the process.

Some feedback intended to be constructive, thanks for contributing to the process!

1. The gradient on the mouse is a bit too much for me. I would prefer it to look flatter. Compared to the look of most modern app icons, it’s just too 3D for my brain.

2. I like the tongue sticking out and the eyes, but my suggestion would be to slightly tone them down. Maybe make them smaller in size (eyes in particular)?

3. My personal preference is that the mouse take up a little more space in the icon, but that’s just nitpicking.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to check it out.
