Wait I haven’t been keeping up since the ui refresh. What are they doing

One day we’ll get VLC 4.

The only issue for Firefox’s translator currently is the time it takes to load at first, or the fact you have to download each model first. Its not some monumental task, but it does have more friction than Google’s “automatically send the site you are browsing to our server”

This is actually one of the few cases where it makes sense. Its for alt-text for people who browse with TTS

Isn’t it cause its the handle of the main dev?

Does it have the option of using TPM to unlock a LUKS2 encrypted partition like the previous betas? Or was that dropped?

And also the maintainers being too trusting. They openly discussed pirate ROMs in the server and such.

It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.

Money

I don’t just mean socially speaking. But for contacting services and stuff. My car insurance company only accepts reports through Whatsapp or through calling a guy to come look at your face for a fee.

Most of the world doesn’t use SMS, they use WhatsApp. Plus, SMS is even worse than WhatsApp for privacy and security. And stopping using WhatsApp in most of the world is like not using email, so no “I don’t have WhatsApp, you can only contact me through signal” is possible.

Its only big in the US, most of the planet only sees iMessage as that borderline useless app Apple bundles in their phones.

You have the big plus of not having the WhatsApp app installed and snooping around with all those permissions it has.

The FOSS equivalents sadly aren’t quite up to par with Adobe for professional work yet.

I hadn’t logged in a while and it was on, weird

Tbf, it would be a completely new & different browser from the ground up since they would have to make it from Gecko and such. And they are already struggling with their Android browser already.

But yeah, they could keep the WebKit version everywhere.

Man this looks like the kind of thing that can never go wrong ever

I mean, so far their most recent attempt at AI is a local AI based on PrivateGPT called MemoryCache.

It depends a lot. If you are never using MSOffice for anything other than the most basic writing Libreoffice does cut it. Linux overall does just work for the most part if the person using it just plans on using the browser anyway. Everything else is spot on tho.

And funny thing about the gaming performance bit, I’m no expert and this is anecdotal, but my games actually run better on Linux than Windows by default. Dunno why

I understand they were fond of the tutanota name. But I can’t believe they kept the tuta part instead of any of the new names they were brainstorming.

I know what tutanota actually means, but in spanish, Tuta sounds almost exactly like Puta (bitch, whore) when said in conversation. Its like if an email service was named focque.com without taking into account how it sounds in one of the most spoken languages in the world. And they had a chance to take it but kept the tuta part.

But I like the product, just wanted to rant.
