I left lemmy because of the nutomic, yogthos, and dessalines. horrible people who have too much influence/control on all things lemmy and will ban/silence you for anything. check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

If these features interest you, that’s great! But you’re not the average user. Congrats tho. Librewolf may be perfect for you.

DRM is one. On Windows it doesn’t auto-update by default (maybe that’s changed now?). I recall you have to whitelist some sites to work properly. It’s just not something I can set up for my parents and expect most/all websites to work without intervention.

people (not calling you out specifically) keep suggesting Librewolf like it isn’t driving around a city in a tank. it gets the job done, sure, but most people will not tolerate its faults. Suggest something more in-between like Waterfox at least.

Suggesting Librewolf is like asking people to browse the web via Tor. it works, sure, but the inconvenience will make most people give up on gecko-based browsers and give into Google/chrome via Brave or the million other chrome-in-sheep’s-wool browsers.

Let’s recommend viable alternatives: https://www.waterfox.com/

Not yet. You can install the beta version directly from github, if you’re interested to play around with it: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-expo/releases

If you want to get automatic updates, you can install the Obtanium app, add the app via the link above, and it will notify you whenever there’s updates and install them.

You can’t, but you could comment or “like” loops.videos if they come across your feed. I’m on mastodon and have seen a few come through. No need to even have an account on loops, the beauty of the fediverse.

for anyone looking for an activitypub alternative check out loops.video. based on the same tech as lemmy, piefed, mbin, mastodon, pixelfed, etc.

do they have a .onion domain?

I’ve been gaming on Debian (granted, with the backports kernel). What am I missing? Everything works and I’ve had zero issues.

meanwhile, the US is slipping back into the dark ages.

EDIT: To stay on topic, congrats!

giiirl i don’t return to work until the end of january. you’re but a gnat in the wind. blocking you just cuz i don’t care to see notifications from you. have the day you deserve

Did I say I can reproduce it reliably or that it happens every single time? It’s obviously an intermittent issue or everyone would be able to reproduce it immediately. I don’t have Windows at home so I can’t even try. But good try, I guess? Don’t believe me, I genuinely do not give a shit.

Not bullshit. I don’t use it other than at work and its constantly doing bullshit like this. Just because you’re not seeing it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to others.

In short: LibreWolf is for those who want a “locked-down” fortress out of the box, while Waterfox is for those who want a privacy-conscious browser that still feels like a normal, convenient daily driver.

Choose LibreWolf if: You want the highest level of privacy without having to manually edit config files, and you don’t mind occasionally “fixing” a broken website or re-logging into accounts.

Choose Waterfox if: You want a privacy-respecting browser that supports Firefox Sync, has an Android counterpart, and handles streaming sites/logins without any extra friction (it supports WideWine out of the box, which lets you stream DRM protected content (netflix, hulu, disney, etc).

so many good shots!

how can we fix that?

I should add, Debian is more “bare bones” than more gaming focused distros. e.g. flatpak isn’t installed by default on Debian, so you have to take that step before you can install steam via the gnome store or command line. It’s not difficult, but it is an additional step.

I’ve been using Steam via flatpak on Debian without any issues (yet) since Trixie released.

… of course they fucking do!
