Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Thanks! I just prefer simple UIs.
Cross country running probably. Exploring new areas on different continents just for fun.

Here’s a small one of how a website would look like.
Here’s a larger one of how my new tab page looks like (including multiple tabs to show how the tab bar looks like).

Basically just another preconfigured Firefox with extensions?
Getting a burner phone and account and only tun it on when you want to check the messages is a good start. Do not use any of your real information.
When I left FB a decade ago they didn’t force a phone number for the messenger, thy basically just requested all possible permissions.
GTX 1080 + i7 4790K here: I run an Arch Linux Wayland setup (labwc) on my machine. So I use this for gaming, too.
I have a handful of native games running without any issues. Other games I run on Steam (installed via Flatpak to avoid the 32 bits dependency hell). Never had any REAL issues that were not coming from Nvidia not running well on Linux or Valve not getting Linux support right.
Even after years of being used as a meme template, this stock photo is still as aesthetically pleasing as a Renaissance painting.
Let that sink in: They installed a mechanism to intentionally flood our underwater cave!
So there’s oceans at the bottom and above us? Are we in some kind of bubble now? What happens if the firmament leaks water down into the bubble? Will it fill up, and where does the air go? Has the Waters above the firmament ocean a surface? And whats above that surface?
I always get an e-mail with the TOTP code when I want to log in.
… we also need your cookie and tracking preferences. Do you want us to store all possible data about you and share it with everyone? “Yes” or “Yes, but we pretend not to”
Navigation elements should not change their position or disappear.----------Change my mind.
If you say so.
I can’t go back to other browsers now, they’re all too cluttered
Cluttered? What do you mean?
Made the window smaller to not create a huge screenshot, but this is what my browser looks like.
Anything more than that, and I would be really annoyed.
Remember, open-source has a specific meaning; merely publishing your code in public view does not make it open-source.
This strengthens my point even more.
But why would you publicly host code of closed-source software?
I’d either selfhost a Forgejo instance (which I already do) or use Codeberg (which I also do). The Cloudflare thing for selfhosting is something you need to set up on your own, though.
