They also push their VPN a lot. Every week or two I open Firefox and they send me to their VPN page on their website telling me to try it.

Like no. I’m not interested in paying for a rebranded mullvad.

That’s an extremely small minority, and you can turn it off if you want.

Meanwhile I have 25ft cables running my large format vinyl printers lol

Neckbeards fighting about Linux. No girls in sight.

Like Lemmy.

Sadly the quality isn’t better

Just checked. All of the “cheap” ones require you to order 2+, and then have insane shipping costs. The rest are $100-120 CAD.

I don’t think these things will ever be affordable. People who want one badly, will pay the money, and everyone knows it. No need to sell them at MSRP.

I don’t buy any pis because they are $100+ in Canada.

Remember when it was supposed to be a cheap computer? Ya…

Snapchat has always run great on Pixel. Google has worked with them many times to implement new features, though.

Like the Pixel visual core back in the day, the double tap the back to launch feature, etc.

Can’t really comment on other Android phones.

And don’t be discouraged when it never turns out, because a lot of recipes these days are written by influencers that aren’t giving you the proper measurements, so it’ll never actually work out.

When you find a person that actually uploads some proper recipes, follow them, and continue to make their other recipes.

You’ll never learn if you’re set up for failure and think it’s your fault.

It’s better now than it ever has been, but when you compare it to pretty much any other browser it’s rough around the edges. Still going to stay with it, because fuck Manifest v3.

I just wish label printing would work. I don’t know what Mozilla did to fuck it up, but the lack of response to my bug reports every single time Firefox updates is extremely frustrating. Just acknowledge it! Let me know you’re aware! 8+ months to fix a print preview is crazy to me.

Well I guess I should clarify it’s not the print preview in general. It’s when you try to print a shipping label (6x4 or whatever size it is), and the website is “streaming” it to you. If you DOWNLOAD the label, it prints fine.

I’ve seen plenty of users reporting the issue with eBay, Etsy, Stallion Express, etc. so it’s definitely not site specific.

Duck duck go is based on Bing, not Google.

I used Edge, because it’s genuinely an extremely feature packed browser, but when Google announced the manifest v3, I jumped to Firefox.

Unpopular Lemmy opinion, but I hate it. Firefox always freezes on desktop, especially on YouTube. Firefox on Android feels like it was developed for Android 8.0 and never updated. And the worst part is there’s a bug on the desktop version in the print preview window when it comes to printing shipping labels, so I have not been able to use Firefox for my company for over 8 months now.

I’ve reported the bug every time Firefox updates and the bug persists, but Mozilla doesn’t give a shit. It’s so frustrating.

I’ve only moved back to Firefox because what Google is currently doing with Chrome/Chromium is terrible and harmful.

I will say, Firefox is sluggish and shit, but I refuse to allow Google to fuck over the internet.

YouTube sucks, but I don’t want them to die. The insane amount of educational videos on there would be lost. I can pull up a video on how to repair a certain electronic, uploaded 14 years ago, where the uploader is MIA, but it still helped me fix my issue.

Not to mention any other service that tries to replicate YouTube will 100% have crazier monetization, with potential forced subscription. YouTube was built up slowly. Any new service will have to launch knowing potential billions of users will sign up and upload day 1. How do you even prepare for that? I mean shit, when new games launch, like Call of Duty, every fucking year the servers are flaky for a week+. They never learn.

I would, but my mobile app doesn’t allow me to block them at account level, and instead only app level.

I get a TON of hate community/instances; foreign community/instances that aren’t in my language or anywhere near my country; and then the same community spread out across 20 instances, so I have to subscribe to all of them (as neither of them are super active), and then deal with the massive amount of duplicate posting.

I’m here, but barely. I’ve not went back to Reddit (got IP banned during the migration), but Lemmy is too focused on certain topics for me to enjoy it.

Mainly FOSS and Linux community FLOCKED to Lemmy. You really can’t say anything about anything without people coming out of the woods screaming about how stupid you are, how FOSS is better, and Linux is superior.

Remember the backlash over Sync for Lemmy? Massive hate from the Lemmy community because it wasn’t FOSS. Wouldn’t be shocked if the Boost for Lemmy dev stopped developing his app after seeing that. I feel like Lemmy is shooting itself in the foot and pushing people away.

EDIT: case in point. https://lemmy.ca/comment/3131292

I setup the VPN tunnel. It’s a toggle switch on my phone that allows me to access my network as if I was home. It’s free (using wireguard app), and way more secure, as my phone is the only device allowed to access it.

Downside is that I need to add devices manually if I wanted, but upside is that it’s super secure and not directly open to the web via domain.

Thanks! I didn’t realize how dead simple, and free, it was to use the WireGuard app on Android and built in Unraid VPN settings to create a VPN tunnel.

It took me 2 minutes and it’s a simple toggle to access my photos as if I was at home. Incredible!

That’s okay. That just means the people who understand science and respect others by wearing masks will be on top in the future. Actually a pretty calming thought.
