β #FirefoxNightly #FirefoxSecondSidebar #TreeStyleTab #Sidebery@scottwilson peeps seem to whinge about this a lot, yet my
, my daily default browser for many many years, the alpha & thus notionally unstable fox, has never done this to me. never.
i read so many fedi & subreddit whines & whinges about such & such faults, bugs, misbehaviours et al perpetrated by this apparently miserably bad browser, all the while continuing to have a lovely online time here in my Nightly, & i just shrug & wonder how so many peeps can be so... unlucky π€¨π€·ββοΈ

β #FirefoxNightly #FirefoxSecondSidebar #TreeStyleTab #SideberyVivaldi cannot:
it stopped being my browser several years ago because of 1 - 3, & the more recent 4 just banged the final nail into its coffin.
its multiple split-tabs function is brilliant, better than all other browsers, and i'd love to still be able to use it, but not at the expense of those listed items, alas.
for me, the oft-quoted bogeyman of "not 100% FOSS" is bogus, in that i trusted Jon & colleagues implicitly with Opera Presto, & see no reason why suddenly they would have chucked their fine ethics & principles out the door for Vivaldi. that's not & never has been the disincentive for me... the listed items are the problem.
odd. i thought my
had lost all my existing tab-notes, which wouldn't have been a catastrophe but would have been disappointing. on a whim i thought to recheck about:config for its current boolean value of my previously manually-enabled browser.tabs.notes.enabled, & thus found it had reverted to false during some very recent update. i flipped it back to my desired true, & voila, my existing tab-notes are once more visible & editable, with new ones "creatable".
oh wotta highly irritating article name!
makeuseof.com/why-2026-is-offiβ¦
given i am passionately following progress of the Project Banana / KDE Linux atomic immutable project, & read everything i come across about it, when i saw this article prominently headlined with "KDE Linux" i jumped on it with glee.
pffffft, it's nothing of the kind, being merely a poorly named article about the Plasma DE itself, not the actual [alpha] distro. baaaah! ππ€¦ββοΈ

after a coupla months running my main panel / dock at the top of the screen, to get reacquainted with the boring existence of the dirty proles, i have now returned it to the rhs edge of the screen, just as #TheGreatProphetZarquon intended π€ͺ π

yesterday arvo my once-beloved ArchLinux Plasma primary-boot once more summarily froze solid again [even ignoring REISUB again], as has been happening now randomly for many months or maybe a year'ish, after years & years & years of never doing so. as i was planning on still doing my weekly updates on sunday, it meant it still only has Plasma 6.5.5, not 6.6.0. anyway, in my increasing dotage & senility, i have grown disinterested over the past 18 months in needing to still do the occasional forensic troubleshooting & finessing of Olden Days Of Yore... plus, this latest freeze, ipso facto the complete disjuncture to my work in hand til that point, infuriated me completely, sufficient to reboot into my tertiary-boot, Fedora Kinoite, & keep going with what i was doing there... after first running updates on it then rebooting again.
accordingly, credit to the marvellous Fedora Plasma Devs & Maintainers, it now runs Plasma 6.6.0 too. one of the things i was keen to try was the new #Spectacle, with its #OCR text extraction tool. this works ootb, not needing me to fart about manually installing #tesseract as i have been reading needs to happen in other distros. so that's pretty lovely, however, not at all lovely, & indeed triggering a bout of out-loud swearing by me, was this discovery... it uses Merkan English, not proper english, ie, pommie or strayan. oh yuck, i feel so dirty now. merkan is to english as magamoron is to decency, morality, ethics, education, empathy, kindness, compassion...

@anderslund noice! happy to see your tag #kdelinux there! i have it in a couple of #QEMU VMs, & ran it as my third-boot on my main pc for some weeks earlier in its Alpha, but eventually replaced it with :linuxfedora: #Kinoite [whence i post this]. once it reaches Beta [when i hope they have fixed the current inability to install with manual partitioning], i plan to put it back onto one of my SSDs to be my 4th-boot.
am itching to return to my 1st-boot, :archlinux: #ArchLinux, but can't really do so til whatever recent bug is fixed that weirdly broke #wireguard protocol in my #VPN app. π² π€―
aren't we just so very lucky to have these magnificent #FOSS gifts!!!

@n_dimension no no, BiT isn't abandoned. i still use it weekly, like it, & am looking fwd to the planned Feb [iirc] release of the next version.
