I’m mainly using duckduckgo for 7 years now. If I can’t find something with it, I try startpage, which sometimes helps.

Then just download it e.g. from github: https://github.com/rsms/inter/releases

For a fair comparison you should at least use the same font and font size. Did you try that? It will still look different on windows, maybe better, but I think you can get pretty close. I use the “inter” font on debian xfce and it looks very clean (the font is probably in your repos as well).

Rust. It’s so good, it can’t be popular enough.

good one :'D

But of course everyone decided it is just easier to nag all the users with a big splash screen.

Nope, the thing is, you’ll very rarely find a website that only uses technically necessary session/login cookies. The reason every fucking website, yes, even the one from the barber shop around the corner, has a humongous cookie banner is that every fucking website helps google and other corporations to track users across the whole internet for no reason.

In germany we had subsidies for hybrid company cars, so companies bought hybrids. But: If employees would charge these in their home garage, they would pay for the electricity. If they get gas, the company pays. So they are practically just regular cars with a ton (probably literally) of extra weight. Unfortunately there’s barely a single law related to cars in germany that makes any sense (apart from just randomly gifting tax payer money to car companies). It’s like gun laws in the US. The area-wide corruption is immense.

And there you have it! The absolutely most pathetic kind of fragile masculinity. When adults are stuck in the “car makes wroom wroon”-age and are dumb enough to believe others would admire them for that behavior.

Bringing more modern tools and features into C++ is good. Acting as if that would make it equally suitable for new projects or even equally safe as languages that don’t (yet) suffer from carrying around a ton of legacy garbage nobody should use (both in terms of features and std items) is ridiculous though.

Kinda sad how that guy destroys his reputation so late in his life. I mean he actually contributed a lot to the field of software development, but just refuses to accept that C++ days are thankfully over. The language has grown into a complete abomination, but all the experience we gained during its long history (good and bad) are extremely valuable for designing new languages from now on. One can’t rescue a design by just adding things to it (regardless of the kind of design), that’s just a simple truth. Thus, a backwards compatible C++ can never become even half as good as rust is already today (and there’s of course always room for improvement). But that’s not because bjarne did something stupid, but because humanity as a whole didn’t know better back than. He could just accept that, embrace new technology, retire in dignity, be remembered as highly admired and appreciated. Instead he acts like a butthurt idiot, trying to defend that cars shouldn’t have seatbelts, because if everyone drives carefully, nothing bad will happen anyway. Pathetic.

I can recommend debian testing. I’m using it on laptop and desktop for several years, always running “apt update && apt full-upgrade && apt --purge autoremove” and it never broke. It’s not officially a “rolling release” but practically it is.

Afaik there are two location permission levels in android, one that only allows GPS which is often really slow and inaccurare and one that uses cell and wifi as well which is quick and accurate. Maybe OsmAND is not allowes to use the accurate location on your phone?

I’m on lineage microG and I’ve got the opposite experience! Some apps really struggle with getting my location while OsmAND always works like a charm. I also use organic maps for quick routing, because the map rendering is MUCH faster and it consumes less battery power.

Nope, it uses a protocol on top of UDP called QUIC. If you count underlying protocols further down the stack, obviously all of them are really old.

Some ancient protocols get replaced gradually though. Look at http3 not using TCP anymore. I mean at least it’s something.

FCK DSCRD!

(They should use lemmy instead :-P)

Using an open source client of my choice (voyager) that I actually like better than the reddit clients I used before, enjoying fewer posts with less, but usually better, more interesting and/or funny contents and comments. The only thing I miss is the rust (programming) community, which ironically didn’t really move to lemmy (but still got smaller/less active on reddit), so I sometimes still lurk that subreddit while obviously not contributing anything to it myself.

Yes, I can’t wait! Firefox usage will skyrocket :D

No!

apt: ok

pacman: ok

flatpak: ok

appimage: ok

built stuff from source: ok

snap: over my dead body

True, I missed that winget is now preinstalled with newer windows versions. I don’t use windows a lot though, especially not for browsing the web.

Edge is pretty good…

…for downloading Firefox.

I wouldn’t even use a proprietary browser if they’d pay me for it. Let alone a chromium based one.
