thanks for the eBay recommendation. unfortunately my financial anxiety is much much much more easily triggered than that. I’m working in myself for now.

i do plan to start using docker if i ever get started on projects again.

i wish i could get my home lab efforts (re)started. the memory of corrupted sd cards and pi hole config mistakes is debilitating…

not to mention financial anxiety about possibly needing replacement components regularly…

exactly. thank you. this is the whole impetus for the conversation of what happens to Firefox and consequently its forks.

underlying assumptions:

• many privacy-minded users use Firefox forks on desktop and possibly mobile. Without Mozilla the organization, said forks may or may not be able to continue individually on their own. However, it seems hard to argue that they would fare better if a “main” Firefox continued, possibly under the umbrella of some pre-existing group like Canonical or Linux Foundation. Better yet if Mozilla were to reverse course from its user data cash-in moves and increase its long-term stability.

seems like you’re the one who understood best what I was getting at. thanks for your opinion.

i do hope they have enough budget

i went out of my way to avoid stating any hope of FF becoming the most popular.

like you said, i actually was thinking of them capturing about 5-10% more of the market. i think that would be a significant and worthy goal. it’s enough to increase interest from potential large donors, at least slightly.

I’ve been feeling that they were getting ready to turn FF into something more commercial, and if that didn’t stabilize/increase funding enough, to shut it down entirely. so a slight and sustainable increase of users and funding is the best near term outcome, in my mind.

i went out of my way to avoid stating any hope of FF becoming the most popular. i used “stable” (as in user numbers) multiple times.

true that

LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣

here are my 4 non-Foss apps, out of 27 total on dock (yes on the dock, using folders)

• 🚫nordvpn

• 🚫obsidian (sync disabled)

• 🚫@voice aloud tts

• 🚫MS Swiftkey settings (true privacy threat i know, but Asian lang. support is essential & it runs w/o internet perm., w/o play services, and kept in incognito.)

the blonde looks like Elisha Cuthbert 🤩

IMO this and Material File Manager are currently the best for android

however, i think they all need improvement. such as:

• long press popup context menu (for desktop right-click style menu),
• top-bottom multi pane view,
• file metadata/tag editing
• optional image/video preview pane (bottom half of screen)

i thought Firefox translator didn’t have and East/Southeast Asian languages besides Vietnamese (because of Roman characters) so far

awesome! that worked perfectly! thank you!

now i can finally start working on scripting it to update a whole folder.

hahaha yeah vox is so antique with everything they cover

not sure exactly what features you need but there are

• losslesscut
• avidemux
• mkvmerge and mkvmergegui

if command line is OK, ffmpeg is the most versatile and customizable and tons of support docs and question forums (superuser, stackoverflow, askubuntu) for every conceivable niche one-off operation

apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)

it’s like the 2nd most popular culture topic… after “love” or something

but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk
