Sure, they just need to fix their annoying bugs on Android.

Everytime I leave a tab open and switch to another app, it's a 50/50 whether I return to a black screen and am forced to restart it or it just works fine.

When I first tried to install Arch, I gave up when I got confused with the documentation for an encrypted install.

But since I've discovered archinstall, it's a dream to do and arguably faster to install than other distros.

Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

I recently moved from chromium to Firefox and I noticed an inconsistency I'm not sure how to fix.

On chromium, if I want to open a link on a new tab, I use ctrl + click to open it in the background and ctrl + shift + click to open it and focus.

On Firefox, with normal links it works the same way, but with bookmarks it's switched: ctrl + click opens and focuses, and ctrl + shift + click opens in the background.

I've searched settings about this with no luck.

Am I missing something?

High price/performance, constant random hardware issues (on the previous generation the lens glass would shatter because who would have thought glass on metal contact is a bad idea), and a new software bug every two months that drains your battery and fucks something else.

companies like Fairphone and Framework and system76 have proven that it's possible to support devices for a very long time when the bigger manufacturers told us it wasn't possible, or even if it were possible that there was no market demand for seven years of software support. In 2016, sustainability and longevity were not words associated with new tech. They showed us the way.

I didn't see the video with that much attention, but I'm pretty sure at some point he said something along these lines.

I want to like Firefox, both as normal user and as web developer, but something about it keeps bugging me. The UI feels sluggish, sites seem to be slightly less performant, and I can't seem to get used to it.

I feel the exact same. I use linux with a tiling window manager and when I change format, Firefox just starts twitching like it's trying to give me an epileptic seizure while chromium browsers do it just fine.

Also, sometime ago I tried to compare Chrome (when I still used it) and Firefox side by side with the same extensions opening the same websites and Firefox always took a bit more ram.

Yeah, unfortunately it seems that the Google "can't care to test updates" has been extended from some edge services to their main ones and only keeps on growing.

Bold of you to assume that that screen is gonna last 7 years.

Like pretty much everything the CCP does, it's "rules for thee, but not for me".

My guess is that they are so used to controlling their people they probably think it should work for everything else.

You guys need keys?

Yeah, sometimes if I haven't booted up my laptop in a while, I'll run pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring to get the keys I need.

I believe that they emit less CO2 compared to gasoline powered cars, but a lot more nitrates, which are carcinogenic.
