I can do all of that and still sign the petition, it only takes 2 minutes to sign.

And with enough votes it is meaningful!

Interesting, seems you have to download the .apk directly from their repo though, rather than any store. So I'm guessing there's no automatic updates?

I think I might give IronFox a go, just a bit weary as never heard of it before, not sure who is the owner of the project and where they are based, GitLab project only has ~125 stars.

Have you ever used the Accrescent app store? That's their recommended option for installing it.

Recently there has been controversy around Mozilla Firefox.

I've been looking for an alternative but really struggling, seems like every alternative has a downside:

  • Vivaldi: Uses some proprietary code and likely not doing much better on the user data side of things, also based on Chromium.

  • Tor: Uses Tor protocol and so is quite slow, my ISP would probably also think I'm a drug lord.

  • Fennec: Basically looks the same as Firefox but guessing less up to date, F-Droid has a warning about it's using Mozilla services for tracking.

What are you guys using? Have you found anything good?

Didn't know that, was brought up using Windows and only started heavily using Linux when I started my career!

So my muscle memory was originally trained on Windows.

If you highlight text in nano using your keyboard I think it uses nanos built-in highlighting and doesn't allow copying to the clipboard. It has it's own built in cut and paste system, and not on the keys you would expect.

If you highlight the text with your mouse it uses the terminals highlighting and copying to your clipboard works!

Just lot's of inconsistency is what I'm saying, similar to your Firefox experience!

Yeah I know about Ctrl+Shift+C I was joking, I think we've can all relate to accidentally sending a interrupt signal every now and then!

Now tell me how to copy text from nano and paste it elsewhere! 😆

Cool the user count is going up, just hope it's not going to be all bots and trolls 😆

When I was younger having to fill out timesheets in Excel for my mum.

Always forgetting their passwords to their accounts and having to reset their passwords for them.

Providing them access on my Netflix account and then when Netflix had the changes where you can't have it in two homes asking me why they can't get on, cancelled my subscription in the end.

Email attachments and when they go over the max attachment limit complaining about having to upload their files to the cloud.

Volunteering my help to others...

The list could go on and on.

I appreciate my parents but when it comes to helping with technology it sometimes drives me up the wall.

 

After reading this Reddit thread I had a look to see if there were any petitions to prevent this and found the petition I have linked in this post, doesn't seem to have a lot of signatures.

Please sign the petition if you agree with it 🙏

 

I was listening to this and found the lyrics are quite dirty/naughty/wild:

Stretch me, stretch me out, flex me, flex me now Baby, watch mе drop it down, I can bend and make it bounce I'm a, I'm a еlastic girl, try it on me, I'm flexible Wrap my body right 'round your world, la-la-la-la-la-la

It's funny seeing "genius.com" describe it as just being about Mrs Incredible.

Yeah sure definitely has no other meaning! 😆

Love it though!
