It’s meant to be an upgrade over the old system. If both are accessible, that just means they didn’t remove the old code.

Blood is edited in.

Please tell me Wayland is enabled, even if it’s not the default.

I’m not going to trade Firefox for a browser that is years away from being even remotely daily drivable. Even once/if it’s able to render pages mostly correctly, it will still take a while after that to make it fast.

Even with Mozilla’s funding, they’re behind on implementing featues. Ladybird has much less funding and their current policy is to just rely on donations.

Adding non-Steam games has never worked well for me.

Another issue is that there is a database of tweaks Proton uses to make games work better, but I don’t think it uses it for non-Steam games.

Heroic with umu do use these tweaks.

The fediverse is not private. It’s open, that’s the point of it. There’s very few protections on your data. By necessity, your data will flow through hundreds of third party servers who can do whatever they want with it.

The benefit of the Fediverse is that it’s decentralized and that helps users avoid the BS that Twitter went through.

They didn’t leave the Fediverse because of that. They got the same reaction on Reddit and Bluesky, but are still on those platforms.

While Librewolf does have its advantages, I find it hard to recommend over regular Firefox, at least for most people. Librewolf disables some features like WebGL due to security and privacy concerns.

Is media.ffmpeg.enabled set to true in about:config?

It’s also true that graphics performance of Firefox is just not as good as Chromium, even with hardware acceleration.

What’s your distro?

How is Firefox installed? Distro package or flatpak?

AirPods work great on Android. Just make sure you have them configured how you want (like the touch and squeeze actions) because you can’t change them.

An alternative to AirDrop is LocalSend, but it has a massive asterisk: you must be on the same WiFi network. But I think you can start a hotspot on your phone and connect your other device to that and it should work.

Other than that, I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer for other stuff. In general I stick to cross platform apps and in general find continuity features more annoying than helpful.

RCS is just a more modern messaging standard. Google wanted Apple to implement it so bad because it makes messaging Android users nicer. And yes, it doesn’t matter in Europe so much, but the US uses the preinstalled messaging apps. So iPhone users get iMessage talking to iPhone users and fell back to SMS whenever talking to Android users.

I know you can with Raspberry Pi’s and Ampere CPUs.

Not sure about X Elite, that hardware still isn’t fully upstreamed. Ubuntu has decent support for them though.

I thought this was going to be about that Mozilla exec speaking about Firefox as a legacy project where AI was their new focus.

The UK didn’t make end to end encryption illegal. They just asked Apple to make them a backdoor, so it would technically not be end to end encryption anymore.

iMessage still has other features that RCS lacks.

Even if they were at feature parity, I don’t think RCS would ever be blue. Blue is the “premium” messaging experience.

Maybe one day Apple will give RCS its own color to separate it from SMS. I hope they do to signify its security.

The US carriers announced in 2019 their CCMI (Cross Carrier Messaging Initiative) to bring RCS. But that went nowhere and they killed it. That’s when they started using Google’s Jibe instead.

See: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/04/verizon-att-and-t-mobile-kill-their-cross-carrier-rcs-messaging-plans/. Interesting read in 2025. Since then a lot changed. Carriers switched to Jibe rather than rolling their own RCS, Apple started supporting RCS (China mandated they add support, but I’m surprised that they brought it to other countries too), and now RCS has an official end to end encryption protocol.

Can’t believe it’s been 6 years since that announcement.

You’re still using Google’s servers even if you’re on iPhone, though now Google shouldn’t be able to read your messages.

It’s just that Apple didn’t want to support Google’s proprietary encryption protocol. So they worked to make end to end encryption part of the RCS standard, and now that it is, Apple is willing to support it.

Edit: Small correction. It seem’s like RCS on iPhone does not always use Google servers. It’s just that US carriers have partnered with Google to provide their RCS support.

There are plenty of Windows on ARM laptiops available from major manufacturers, including Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, Dell, etc. Microsoft notably sells their ARM laptops for less than the Intel version; not sure about the other brands.

The iGPUs obviously don’t compare to dedicated GPUs, even those that are a few generations old, but it has enough power for gaming in lighter games and even heavier games if you’re willing to turn the graphics to low and lower the resolution.

Last I saw, there were a lot of game incompatibility issues, but I haven’t been paying attention since launch. But this thread is literally about Epic improving their support on ARM, albeit with a “they hate Linux!” spin on it.

It means they expect Windows on ARM to get bigger.
