Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox’s stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech “journalist” take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to “track” users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn’t do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as “privacy friendly” and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.


does it have tasker integration? that could be a nice combo.


Apart from replicating the pixel experience on devices not sold by Google, it was a ROM that enabled people to upload unlimited images/video in any resolution to google photos cloud storage (as it could disguise itself as OG Google Pixel).

I don’t know if it worked well and how google didn’t stop it, but it was one of the highlight of this project.


ikr? these news come out every month.

I hope they did and start driving down costs but if it isn’t mass produced and easily accessible, the news means fuck all for everyone but the CCP.


Does the device boot up completely? did you have usb debugging enabled? Is your from PC approved to use USB debugging?

If your PC is already allowed to used adb, you could try scrcpy to see if you can get the screen to mirror.

If your PC isn’t approved for USB debugging, you could try using a mouse through the USB port. You might need an OTG cable for this. I’m not actually sure about this as I haven’t tried this myself but a mouse should work as I’ve heard.


They kinda have to make some bold claims to stay relevant as Apple Vision might bankrupt them into oblivion when it releases.


I still have my OG pixel XL that I turn on when I need to upload, but having to transfer to it every time is a little cumbersome. My daily driver is also a pixel phone but would be nice if it would just work on its own.

I’ll check out Pixel OS. thanks!


is it safe? won’t google ban users if they find out?


does PixelOS get the google photos unlimited upload feature as well? I think that’s pixel experience?


Enpass comes with it own keyboard you can switch to when you need to fill in some data. It’s completely local if you don’t sync to cloud. But the free tier is limited.

Try it and see


That’s HUGE if true. The pricing will also be an interesting factor.


Usually that means the instance serving the video might be having a problem. You can use a different one from the settings but that gets cumbersome. It really needs to show the instances in the video UI.


for the insanely rich people with little regards for human rights and encourage slavery. I don’t mind…


Hmm… does that mean their plan to secede from the regular internet isn’t working out so well?


Using a process known as plant cell culture, cells from the vegetables are harvested and multiplied in sterile lab conditions. They are then used to create the UV-sensitive printer ink used in the machine. The cells can then be molded and printed in the shape of a carrot, or any shape preferred with the 3D printer

How long does the cell culture take? is it just a slush of food juice made solid or does it taste anything like the real thing.

Even aeroponics don’t taste like traditionally grown food, and they’re grown from real plants. So many questions

But it will help solve the food scarcity problems if it’s made accessible for all. I wish them all the best.



I use Telegram for the random chatter but it’s getting bloated ever since they added premium features. I understand they have to make money, but some features like stories can’t be disabled at all, and they’re selling group names with crypto. Matrix is looking a lot better moving forward.


clicks. everyone likes more views to their content ads.



It gets worse on Fediverse as there are multiple threads to the same link on multiple instances. can’t get rid of reposts anymore


How is mastodon condescending? is this something just to fill that “make something up about a trending topic” quota.
