Changed my mind. Thanks.

You be the judge and reviewer ;)
I recognize it by name but I haven't tested it or anything.

PS My list wasn't meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I'm sure there are great other Android browsers.

Brave's a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

but at least on Reddit there is more actual human content

You've been bamboozled by AI bots. Want more activity on whatever website? Be the activity.
That being said, some Lemmy instances left me a bad taste as well due to toxic replies. However, so far, Beehaw has been smooth sailing.

I thought it was AI slop, wow.

I didn't mean AI slop by you, but by those toxic users.

Shhh not that loud 🤫

Don't worry, Muskuitos only hear their own voices and smell their own farts.

…weird. I don’t understand why drop-down terminals are a thing? I can bring up Konsole with a hotkey too, only it just opens a window instead fo doing a fancy animation. That’s such a tiny part of its functionality that I can’t imagine how ‘drop-down’ became a descriptor for a terminal instead of just a bullet point on a feature list somewhere, much less a whole-ass category of terminals, lol.

But, fair enough.

Totally agree that objectively it's a tiny part. However, for one, I'𝗆 simply used to it because that how terminals behave in games, and two, because terminals with drop-down as a feature were the only ones that introduced me to a one-button hotkey, just like in a game.

The career of garbageman or cleaning lady is generally looked down upon by the common people, yet it is the common people's garbage they are cleaning. The latter should be frowned upon, not the former.

Related: CEOs may be tough, but cleaning is tougher.

VALVE cancelled the Counter-Strike fan mod Classic Offensive. After eight years of development and after being approved by Steam Greenlight in 2017, VALVE has ordered the developers of Classic Offensive to halt development and not release the mod.

For me AutoKey is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to "remap" keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key.

Secondly there's XScreenSaver which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption.

None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there's Espanso, but it doesn't support keyboard shortcuts yet.

 

Popularity ≠ superiority. Proprietary text document formats is yet another proof of Microsoft's crookedness—their subpar products only able to stay afloat by unethical anti-competitive behaviour.

Pump-and-dump schemes, fraud, ransomware, multi-level marketing, spam, incentivizing selfishness, greed, and general unethical behaviour, buying elections, quasi Nazis creating their own coins, et cetera. In my opinion, over the years the evidence has piled up tall enough to show that crypto"currencies" are an overal detriment to society.

It therefore surprised me to discover that behind the ♡ donation button on top of most Lemmy instances except for Beehaw, there is an option to donate "crypto". This sets a bad example. Thoughts?

Your games on Linux might unknowingly run slower than they need to. My games had inconsistent FPS between different sessions—smooth 144 FPS between stuttering ± 120 FPS—and I couldn't figure out why because all the logs indicated it was running on my dedicated GPU.

First I assumed it was a caching problem due to running distributed computing projects 24/7 [finding primes, not crypto"currencies", don't worry], but it turns out it was in fact arbitrarily using the desktop CPU's integrated graphics instead of the GPU.

Via the Steam game launch options command below one can force the use of one's dedicated GPU—0 or 1 depending on one's PC.

I'm looking for a song video clip which features a very close up shot of female lips. At a certain point it becomes sexual without being explicit, and it is suggested that the woman bit off a mans penis.

What is love? (beehaw.org)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by arsCynic@beehaw.org to c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org
 

No seriously, what does love mean to you? The love of your child, the love of your partner(s), monogamy, polyamory, (non) consensual non-monogamy, infatuation, limerence, heartbreak. The love of one's hobby, the love for an object, the love of an idea, et cetera. Whatever it is that comes to mind goes.
