Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is President Trump a real life version of Frank Fontaine from BioShock?English
17·13 days agoMaybe the Temu version of Frank Fontaine. Frank could speak English, was capable of completing a thought without getting distracted and didn’t look like Jabba the Hutt wearing a compression girdle.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"English
10·13 days agoI moved over to Librewolf last night (except on android) due to this issue. I’m not even anti-AI, I just don’t care for the current mentality to put it into everything and using it as the entirety of your marketing schtick. I don’t need an AI web browser. I need a web browser that can navigate something like chatgpt’s web interface if I want it to.
Librewolf has stated their intention to strip all ai elements from their fork of Firefox and that keeps me off of a chromium browser so I chalk this up as my personal best-case scenario.

Buy European@feddit.uk•The Fight for Android's Open Ecosystem (F-Droid Interview)English
17·21 days agoMore interest is a very far cry from “linux phones are booming”. Linux phones are not booming, they are niche projects for people that like to tinker and don’t need any of the most popular phone apps and features.
Until we can install linux on more than a couple phones, trust cellular connections across all the networks and have access to the majority of features and apps that a smart phone should possess, linux phones will never “boom”.
I say this as a Ubuntu touch user on the Fairphone 4. It is not an experience that anyone else I know would accept from their smartphone.

281·21 days agoI hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.
Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it’s going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.

Booming, eh?

If you’re having problems finding the linux line on the graph, it’s one of those at the 0%.

Maybe you just have to swap and be okay with less people around, just so you can get out of Microsoft’s grip in open source.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. It is almost always the case that you will trade adoption/utilization/community for a less-used solution. Using loops, pixelfed, mastodon or piefed/lemmy, element, linux, FOSS web apps instead of their more popular system, they all come with an unspoken agreement that you embrace a niche-existence.
Only you can really decide what’s more important to you.







I use Librewolf everywhere but android where I use Firefox. The sync feature works perfectly between the different brands. Librewolf does not currently offer a mobile browser.
