It’s difficult to notice due to compression, but it has a blue stripe where one of the white stripes normally is.

I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

oh gosh how is this the worst one /j

lmao

At that point why not just use digital signatures?

I’ve been super busy as of recent, but I’ll try to remember to reply to you if/when I do :)

You could try Asahi Linux, they’ve been doing lots of work getting Fedora working nicely on the new ARM macbooks :)

I don’t think so, but this sounds like a super interesting idea. I might try this later!

Well, firefox used to have support for gopher, but maintaining it was too much work and support was removed in firefox 4.0. Even now, with it gopher and gemini being the most popular they’ve ever been, neither of them have built-in support from any major web browser.

Also, it’s not that the creators don’t want people using it, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that they didn’t expect the level of adoption they currently have.

because the point is not broad adoption, the point is not what features it supports, the point is the features that it doesn’t. It can’t track you, it can’t advertise to you (effectively), it’s meant to replicate that pre-corporate-enshittification feeling the WWW once had. The creators never imagined it would get as big as it even currently is.

yeah i totally get that, it’s just that imo Deceptichum is being mean about the whole thing. i’m not attacking the concept of federation (or the choice to not do so with certain instances).

god forbid they be able to keep up with creators/friends they care about

i think they’re talking about Matrix, which is completely different.

Gentoo -> Linux From Scratch -> Kernel From Scratch

windows -> LMDE -> Fedora KDE -> Arch Linux -> Gentoo

ehh, partial skeleton, skeleton, what’s the difference? a few missing bones never hurt anybody! /s

If an anthropologist found a 2-million year old intact foot, I think they’d call it a skeleton, sure.

i think a skeleton is just multiple bones together that are attached. A pile of bones isn’t a skeleton, it’s a pile of bones

In my experience, most package managers should set up dependencies by themselves! Though, I do agree with the lack of explanation of documentation.

I use arch by the way, but what’s your opinion of other “user-friendly” distros like Manjaro or Garuda?
