I’m going to voluntarily read other people’s AI slop.
How can you only have 15 Tabs open?
I use bookmarks and close tabs I don’t need any longer.
I have currently 13 tabs open and I don’t see the issue. RAM is there to be used. I actually expect my programs to extensively cache stuff and use the RAM.
(The other Firefox processes for the individual tabs are cut from the screenshot.)
And cached. Browsers just use the RAM for what it exists for.
On the other hand: Firefox isn’t particularly known for its privacy-focused default configuration.
They’re always a few steps behind current technology.
If the translations would be any good, yes.
there’s a reason firefox has open tickets that are 25 years old.
And the reason is, they don’t properly triage bugs.
Not having telemetry was fine the last 30 years.
because all the other browsers have integrated AI
This is one of the reasons I started using Firefox again.

“Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus,” the dish description from Sikar’s Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. “Common in childhood.”
A misreading of the dish name in question — “Chicken Pops” — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty “blister-like bumps” detailed on the menu.
They use GitHub for the code already. Their hosting cost could be pretty much zero if they would use GitHub Pages for their website, and redirect their domain to that.
How much development is actually needed to build a graphical interface for setting the WINEPREFIX
environment variable?
The quoted image does not say so
It does exactly say so. Flatpak is the only supported and official method of installation when you’re not using Ubuntu.
As for the Fedora issue, that is a completely different thing. That is also Flatpak, so its not the package format itself the issue.
Exactly. And the Flatpak version from Fedora was unusable.
So where does the developers say that anything that is not their official Flatpak package is “borderline unusable”?
They don’t. It’s just unsupported.
But why is that?
Because the OBS developers say so.
And since I’m not on Ubuntu, I use the Flatpak version to get OBS as intended bey the OBS developers.
So its not the package formats issue, but your distribution packaging it wrong. Right?
Exactly. Most distributions fail hard when it comes to packaging OBS correctly. The OBS devs even threatened to sue Fedora over this.

Flatpaks are great for situations where installing software is unnecessary complex or complicated.
I have Steam installed for some games, and since this is a 32 bits application it would install a metric shit-don of 32 bit dependencies I do not use for anything else except Steam, so I use the Flatpak version.
Or Kdenlive for video editing. Kdenlive is the only KDE software I use but when installing it, it feels like due to dependencies I also get pretty much all of the KDE desktop’s applications I do not need nor use nor want on my machine. So Flatpak it is.
And then there is software like OBS, which is known for being borderline unusable when not using the only officially supported way to use it on Linux outside of Ubuntu – which is Flatpak.
Exactly. This is what I mean with “with no real reason”. It is a completely made-up reason just because I don’t make them any money.
Security … Depends. If you want to sell the SSD, then yes, wiping the SSD is advised. You don’t need complicated random multiple-write patterns. Just make sure to wipe everything (keywords: wear-leveling, cache), you could use
blkdiscard
for that.Performance-wise nothing noticeable would change. Physically, SSDs are fast enough to modify the charge traps to store the bits as needed to store files regardless of what’s in those traps (that’s quite a rabbit hole).
If you plan using the SSD for your own, you don’t need to wipe it, just repartition as needed and create the file systems in the partitions. What I do, is writing some data to the storage to destroy the partition table (
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/XYZ
whereXYZ
is my target device – and then leave it runninf for a few seconds).Since you’re using encryption, the common tools only see garbage and no data (i.e. file system). So simply don’t decrypt and work with the mapped partition but use the device directly.
