firefox on android allows you to play youtube and block the screen.

Yep, it has a widget for that.

Accesibilty is also key for automated end-to-end tests, too.

Yesterday they enabled monitoring of all messages in their servers. It was obvious before, but now they are getting even more 1984. Communities should migrate as soon as possible.

my private desktop Linux installs still occasionally bork themselves for no good reason and require a reinstall

Edit: oh, you aren’t even OP. But I see I triggered you. And you have repeated the same you are saying in the parallel comment? Are you here reading all comments to this specific comment?

how to tell you are using Arch without saying it. Don’t use a rolling release on your own if you aren’t willing to pay the maintenance cost. edit: no, I’m not an ubuntu user.

I recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk on this topic.

I recommend one of the FOSS apps in fdroid for this, don’t use a proprietary one from Google Play (like the Google Authenticator).

I have a pinephone (not pro) collecting dust, because it’s nowhere near as usable for anything, sadly. But I look forward to linux on phones. I recommend a OnePlus 6 with your choice of linux on phones to be honest.

You mean, like this? :P

Wasm is the stack created by the Wasm architecture spec and its instructions, an interpreter for that (think VM), and whatever language you are compiling into Web Assembly (js, go, rust, python, c#…). More and more languages are gaining support to compile them to Wasm (the same way they can be compiled to amd64, arm architecture, etc).

It’s like comparing apples with a grocery store. Also, yes Wasm is better!

I feel like I’m a release candidate myself.

That’s not enough. They have a power that we can’t match.

I can recommend this incredible read: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Fun fact, FB Messenger used to be based on the federated network XMPP. The same way that Google Messages was.

Both Google and Facebook made sure to Embrace Extended Extinguish XMPP. I was there. At some point I could talk from my Gnome contacts to both, it was incredible.

Don’t forget that. Don’t federate with Threads. There’s no room for corporations in the fediverse.

Newbies don’t need that when starting, and at least they will have a solid ground to work with.
