Vincent,

I wouldn't worry about it too much; there's not really anything you need to do as a user anyway.

Vincent,

I'm assuming you've already found it, but just in case you didn't: Framework has setup guides for Fedora, which presumably should make everything work as intended. Find your device on this page, then click "Fedora 39 Setup Guide" on the right-hand side: https://frame.work/linux

Vincent,

I'm fairly sure that that's unintentional behaviour. I reported it here, but if you have additional info to share there (e.g. your browser version), that would be fantastic: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1870820

Vincent,

they try to reinvent the desktop experience every 2 or 3 years

GNOME 3 was released 12 years ago, and hasn't changed that much (unless you consider horizontal virtual workspaces are a major paradigm shift somehow).

Just use something else if you don't like it; no one's "pushing" anything on to you. Clearly, other people do like it.

Vincent,

Well, then I'd highly suggest you just use Xfce and not worry about GNOME so much. Xfce hasn't changed much in years.

Vincent,

the rules for the 100% shouldn’t be made because 10% can’t self regulate.

Unfortunately that's hard to avoid, because those 10% will disturb lessons and take up the teacher's attention, thereby negatively affecting the other students.

Are the teachers supposed to do extra work to ensure no teen had a cell phone?

It's way easier for a teacher to take away a phone that disturbs a lesson when there are not supposed to be phones in the first place, than have to argue about exceptions and limits to the rules every time.

I agree and sympathise with your overall philosophy, but I'm also conscious of the practical limits, unfortunately.

Vincent,

Phones now are a way more important part of people's (and especially teenagers') lives than they were back then. And they're often also used to support lessons.

Vincent,

Yeah the latter definitely sounds excessive. As for "no argument needed", I can tell you that even if no argument is needed, that doesn't mean that students won't go for one :P

Vincent,

Identifying the breach requires unanimity (excluding the state concerned), but sanctions require only a qualified majority.

Wait, how does this work? Can sanctions be instated without identifying a country as being in breach? Or is unanimity first required, and only after that, the majority can decide what the sanction is?

Vincent,

Slovakia, I don't know, but the Netherlands not really. The one party that might want to veto it, while the biggest in parliament, only ("only") got 20% of the votes. If they get to govern (which is not set in stone yet), they'll have to do so in a coalition with other parties who would not let that happen.

Vincent,

"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)

Vincent,

Home-grown was already possible. What do you see as the problem with this plan?

Vincent,

Yeah I mean, that's the thing with marijuana legislation in the Netherlands in general - it's not legal in the first place. It would, of course, be preferable if it was actually legal (and this might very well be a step on the road to get there), but yes, in practical terms, there's not too much impact - whereas this plan addresses an actual problem, i.e. criminality involved with the drug supply of coffee shops.

Vincent,

No one would want to build applications for a platform that lacks widgets capable of properly displaying, formatting, and editing text.

Is the idea that people are only going to be running Iced applications in COSMIC? It feels to me like the realistic option would be that, if COSMIC ever becomes daily-drivable, people would still be using GTK applications with it, at least at first. Might as well use a GTK text editor then? Then System76 could focus on building a text editor after COSMIC is a thing, and COSMIC would hopefully arrive sooner (or even at all - this looks like the path to burnout).

Vincent,

I mean, I don't really mind - I'm pretty happy with GNOME. All I'm saying is that if I were the project manager, I'd worry about delivering something and not burning people out ("focus is choosing what not to do" and all that, and the last 20% of the work taking 80% of the time). But in the end I'm just a random person ranting on the internet, of course - I do actually hope that I'm wrong.

But a diff viewer in the text editor... It just sounds like folks are eager to jump on shiny new things rather than finishing something, from the outside 🤷 Looking forward to be proven wrong!

Vincent,

Yeah, that's fair enough. It's not just working overtime though - endless toil on never-ending projects, especially when at a certain point, you're not really making visible progress but rather are just working on a seemingly endless list of bugs and papercuts, is also terrible for motivation. The good news, of course, is that the Pop!_OS GNOME extension also got delivered, which, though a lot smaller than COSMIC DE, I'm sure also wasn't a small undertaking.

Vincent,

Good to hear, I hope that plays out!

New extensions you’ll love now available on Firefox for Android (blog.mozilla.org)

Today, Mozilla announced more than 450 new extensions (software that adds new features or functionality to the browser) to users on Firefox for Android at Mozilla’s AMO Android page. This milestone marks the launch of a new open extension ecosystem on mobile where developers are now free to create and publish extensions and...

Vincent,

The ones that are available now should be less prone to slowing down your device, and can deal more gracefully with being terminated by Android to save battery.

Revealed: EU governments in last-minute push to legitimise surveillance of journalists (www.ftm.eu)

The European Media Freedom Act is meant to protect the press from government overreach. But behind closed doors, a group of EU member states are threatening to block the new law over their demands for a blank check to use spyware for the purposes of “national security”.

Vincent,

...but Austria is in the EU though?

Vincent,

Also, you can manage your profiles at about:profiles.

Vincent,

Other options: Firefox Beta, Firefox Developer Edition, and Firefox Nightly. Beta and Developer are very stable, and honestly Nightly is pretty stable as well (but it updates a lot). Possibly you could replace it with Librewolf.

Xenia wouldn't suggest that :c (lemmy.world)

please don’t harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying “Xenia suggests you get Firefox”, wait what?? She wouldn’t suggest that first of all, second, this means that the website knows if you are using Google or...

Vincent,

You mean the ones for a closed and unhealthy web? :P

Maybe they could recommend Windows as well, while they're at it, haha.

Vincent,

I'd already be happy if we still have the ones we have today in ten years.

Vincent,

How can a platform - in general, not just meta - provide a “free” service, without monetizing it with targeted advertising?

One option would be contextual advertising, rather than advertising based on tracking the user.

(Contextual, as in: if you're looking at a Formula 1 community, you might be interested in car-related products.)

Vincent,

I don't know the relevant programming languages so I don't know what to search for, but generally, if you want to find something in the Firefox source code, supposedly https://searchfox.org is a great way to do that.

Vincent,

So you're saying: don't release the GTK 3 port until colour spaces are also complete? Why not give people what's ready, and then when colour spaces are ready, cut another release? No need to make people wait who don't need colour spaces.

(Additionally, it's easier to verify that bugs reported before the release of colour spaces are more likely to be related to the GTK3 port.)

Vincent,

It works great in combination with the keyboard shortcuts for opening the first, second, ... eighth tab, which is Alt+1 (or +2, +3, etc.) for me, but I think is Ctrl or Cmd instead of Alt on other OS's.

Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands in 2021 were 25% lower than in 1990 (www.rivm.nl)

In 2021, total GHG emissions (including indirect CO2 emissions and including emissions from Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)) in the Netherlands amounted to 172 Tg CO2 eq. This is approximately 24.9 percent below the emissions in the base year 1990 (228.9 Tg CO2 eq.).

Vincent,

Reminder: 2021 was not a normal year, due to the pandemic, and emissions have risen again afterwards, IIRC. The trendline is good, but comparing these specific years doesn't paint the clearest picture.

Vincent,

Well, that's not set in stone yet. If he doesn't manage to form a coalition (and it's very much in the realm of possibilities that he won't be able to), the GreenLeft-Labour Party is next in line. In which case a GL-PvdA/VVD/NSC/D66 coalition (parties #2-#5) is not unlikely. Which I'm guessing would have to make some concessions when it comes to migration, but would probably be OK-ish news for the EU, the climate, and democracy and rule of law.

Vincent,

At the same time, people are bound to compare it to e.g. Trump, who actually got a majority. It's good to know that our electoral system works differently, if you're unfamiliar with it.

Vincent,

And D66, otherwise they won't have a majority. Though the Senate (Eerste Kamer) I think will still be a challenge.

Vincent,

Would have to be both. I guess technically that's an option, in that it might make it more palatable for VVD+NSC, but then we're at a five-party coalition (six if you count GL/PvdA as two parties).

Vincent,

Haha yeah fair enough, he got a majority of electors (I think that's the right term?), but not of the popular vote, which is what counts in the Netherlands - another sign of how different the electoral systems are. But yeah, the larger point is that the level of popular support is way lower.

Vincent,

SP did that, and look where that got them.

Vincent,

That was a way to walk back on her former statement that she wouldn't join a Wilders government. It meant that she didn't think he'd convince other parties to join his coalition.

Which mostly depends on NSC. We'll see what they do, but I can imagine negotiations stranding and Timmermans getting a shot.

Vincent,

Those 15 additional seats would have to come from voters who did not vote for him, getting angry about him not governing. If they wanted him in the government, why didn't they vote for him?

And this is especially true in the case of NSC, who've said multiple times beforehand that they'd rather not govern with PVV. If you voted for them, you can't (and probably wouldn't) really be mad at them for doing what they said they'd do.

Vincent,

I mean, how many people do you need? Surely if you can pick from all the women in Spain, you should be able to find 11 competent ones?

Vincent,

Haha now that you mention it, they do have similar logos.

Vincent,

Alternatively, it's funny that people write comments arguing that it wasn't targeted at Firefox users, on a post that already says that it wasn't targeted at Firefox users :P

Vincent,

I think Nebula aims to solve that.

Vincent,

Allright allright, you win :)

Vincent,

As I understand it, the blocker has website-specific rules to automatically click the right buttons. For the first release, they've probably primarily tested those with German websites. I assume that if it works well there and they've ironed out most bugs, we can see it roll out more widely.

Vincent,

We can do that when it's actually released; blogspam tries to publish on the expected release date before the actual release so it can scoop up the clicks. Release notes should be posted here later: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/120.0/releasenotes/

Vincent,

At least it was wrong about Timmermans 😅
