  • That's a bad analogy. A browser with 5 tabs is not like having 5 different browsers open.

  • I was so disappointed at Jerry Seinfel'a stance on the whole thing though. Which makes this meme ironic

  • If I could, I would. Sadly being from North Africa makes it hard for me to donate to my favorite FOSS projects. There are many restrictions and even getting a credit card that's usable internationally is a pain, and it only gives you an amount each year you can use online. Not to mention having a really low currency and bad economy would make even a trivial donation feel like a sizable portion of your income. My comment wasn't a dig at Firefox but a lament. It shows how complex things are. The FOSS and privacy oriented option has to rely here on Google having enough money to give to it. Google having enough money relies on data mining. So the monetization of privacy-respecting option relies on other users letting go of their privacy to Google. While Firefox is a superior option, it is worth seeing how ultimately we are still fucked. Even the FOSS option survives through ad revenue of another company. This highlights the problem of FOSS monetization that needs to be solved. Firefox should learn from Thunderbird.

  • Yea but I wish Firefox didn't survive completely on money from Google

    What Mobile Phone Provider Are You With and Why?

    Jump

  • Lemmy is a global community so the provider I use in my country would hardly be useful to anyone else, you wouldn't have heard of it. Maybe specify which country you're interested in if you wanna compare providers available for you.

  • Best distro for my Laptop?

    Jump

  • Software information says you're already using Fedora ? Do you mean you want to switch distros ? If so, it'll be useful to say what you're looking for and why Fedora didn't fulfill those needs so we can recommend alternatives.

  • I saw today the infamous pop-up of YouTube again that they will block the video player after 2 more videos if I keep using uBlock Origin. Google.

    Jump

  • Is this a global thing? I never saw that popup and was thinking maybe they are directing this only at the US and Europe. I am in north Africa and YouTube premium isn't even available (not that I'd pay for that overpriced bullshit).

  • Yes it's always read right to left, which can be confusing when you combine English and Arabic. When you reach the Arabic word or sentence you jump to its beginning which is the first Arabic letter to the right, read it from there to the left, and then continue to the next English word when you're done.

  • The future is now

  • It's somewhat difficult to translate, because Arabic doesn't have the concept of case in letters. Usually you can use "حروف صغيرة” or ”حروف كبيرة" which literally translates as "small letters" and "big letters" when referencing other languages. For the general "letter case" you can use "حالة الأحرف". So it'll be something like : تجاهل حالة الأحرف.

    So here you substitute الرسالة for the correct word الأحرف to mean "letters"

  • The future is now

    Jump

  • I hope this is a joke because the Arabic translation is so wrong. It's also confusing because Arabic is written from right to left so it'll just create a mess. The translators are using "letter case" and translated it literally to Arabic. The word used doesn't mean "letter" as in a letter in the alphabet but "letter" as in what you send in the post office. These are totally different words in Arabic.

  • It's not even available in many countries. Even if it were, the price is steep especially in third world economies. It's probably not that big of deal for many in the US but most people in third world countries would find it so hard to squeeze it into their budget.

  • What is your workflow on eBooks? Do you anotate them? Are there any open standards that are useful?

  • I've written a hacky Bash script that exports my kindle notes and highlights of selected books as a text file. By default kindle lumps everything in one file and it's such a mess
