I use it because I love how the Gecko engine renders web pages. For some reason, Gecko renders fonts way better than the Chromium engine, that is literally bashing my eyes. There's something terribly wrong with the Chromium rendering... and I don't know what it is ๐Ÿ˜…

That's awesome! I wish more OS-es follow, especially Debian. Having support for an OS that can cover the whole perceived lifecycle of the hardware is something that was once (in the 2000s) the standard. This is something crucial for businesses, but it's also great for home users.

BTW, if you have the time, can you please share your views on openSUSE (Leap) vs Debian? I'm divided between these two for my next Linux install.

Here's a great and beginner-friendly article on the topic of secure (and private) messaging and why Matrix currently doesn't fit there: https://proton.me/blog/whatsapp-alternatives

The problem comes from federation. You never know where your messages are synced to + what will happen if instances are defederated. Matrix might become something really cool, if it spends 1-2 years solely on security. Otherwise... it's just nothing more than an epic (and misleading) name + some IRC legacy vibes.

Tidal Music. Was on Spotify before that.

After being on Spotify for some years, I switched to Tidal.

Ubuntu... before Canonical nuked it.

I'm using music streaming services from a couple of years now and the thing that always drove me mad is the lack of light theme. These dark UIs are simply horrible on plain daylight, and even on standard office illumination!

Is it so difficult for programmers to craft a simple light theme and add an option to follow system preferences, so that the theme switches to dark after sunset?

Cookies are not evil per se... but data mining companies made them like that.

I'm administrating an online store and cookies are responsible for the customer's cart, plus their user session / logged in state.

As an admin I adhere to the "golden rule", thus there are no creepy trackers on store. I don't like them and I don't want customers to face the same thing on websites that I manage.

That said, cookies are needed for user session & fraud protection. Instead of nuking cookies we shall kick the trackers out.
