I think many Firefox users are tech savvy enough to know that Firefox for iOS is just a reskinned Safari. They know that it isn’t the real-deal and so any stats on who uses Firefox on iOS are kind of misrepresenting the situation.

iOS would have root access to aGPS (or even real GPS) to determine location. There’s no easy way to spoof that against a determined asshole actor.

The reason they moved back is because Excel.

Mozilla has 0 browsers for iOS except a skin over Safari.

So really it would just be a browser for the EU and nothing for everyone else.

They will in the EU. Hopefully it’s easy to game the system and sideload a non-safari browser in the future.

Several comments specifically talked about VMs for the various apps. And frankly I’m not super familiar with the limitations of containerizing apps either. That’s part of why I was looking for an immutable os + flatpacks / snaps - it’s much more similar to a normal linux system just organized in a way to not break shit.

Is there a performance impact on the jellyfin server by having the NAS on a separate machine? How long does it take to serve a 20gb rip of a bluray?

Honestly I had never built an NAS and installed an OS on it before. I’ve only ever used the junk that ASUSTOR puts out and I want to have control over things. So a good part of the reason I asked on here was to see what other people had done and why.

Oh I like the look of that.

It’s mostly for running media servers like jellyfin.

I want immutability because I come from a the debian world where everything just works. But I want the benefits of using modern versions of packages.

Yeah but it was an unsecure piece of shit for more than the past decade

Yeah that’s the case with programming… well anything. This at least gives you a way to automatically receive all of that data from any app without excessive prior knowledge. With a small amount of info you can filter for specific events and create all kinds of robust functionality. That’s the power of a set protocol - it is to make things widely compatible with one another by only depending on the dbus protocol and app name. Otherwise you may need to depend on some shared objects which makes deployment and maintenance a total clusterfuck.

It’s much easier to understand how dbus works once than to understand how every daemon you connect to works every time you interface with a new daemon.

I used to love Thinkpad laptops up until Lenovo bought the line - build quality dropped off a cliff after that. I’ve avoided them since then so I can’t comment on their current build qualities except to say they used to be built stronger than those toughbooks with handles.

So they had whoids that made a stone henge.

Yeah but how is the experience? While I’m not a fan of MacOS the polish and integration with the hardware is excellent. Hmm… I may need to see if I can dual boot this machine and check it out myself.

Just echoing Ursula K Le Guin’s The Dispossessed is an fantastic read. It does a great job of contrasting anarchism with hierarchical societies without really playing favorites.

I’m stuck with it because of work. Luckily, “Industry 4.0” is completely fucking fed up with M$ and they’re abandoning Windows in droves. I’m just waiting for my vendor to finish polishing their MacOS and Linux alternatives.

Them taking control away from me makes me not use them. Not a problem at all.
