Thank you for the interest. I will start adding screenshots in the new year, very soon. I have taken several, but I still need to decide which ones to use and how I'm going to organize them.

user0 OP ,

@justin

I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I completely removed all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images. Sorry if that's a let-down.

Mobile-Friendly-Firefox Updates:

Screenshots! Well, not quite. I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I did a git rebase -i <SHA1> command to completely remove all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images.

Made an initial merge request to get the wonderful improvements from @user0 into mobile-config-firefox. :firefoxnew:

The idea is to make desktop firefox behave more similar to the Android version, e.g. getting rid of the extra tab bar, and some of the buttons around the urlbar to have more space for typing the URL.

Merge request with test instructions, feedback welcome:
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox/-/merge_requests/40

Huge thanks to user0! 🎉

takes way too many clicks and scroll to open an add-on menu. Fiddling with uBlock e.g. is tiresome

I appologize for not replying to you sooner. I have been busy with many things and hadn't logged into my account here in a few weeks.

What would you think of having an access to add-ons MUCH more straightforwardly ? Maybe icons directly at the top of the burger menu?

I had tried something similar in order to move the new-tab button into the Tab Manager Menu, but it unfortunately doesn't seem possible. Menu items can be re-arranged and hidden, but they cannot be added to a menu or moved from one menu to another. I agree though that your idea would be really cool if it could be done.

Or icons on display next to the URL field, with a sliding bar letting you browse all the way to the end?

I don't think this is possible with CSS code either, so I can't help, but I found a post on reddit that involves javascript:

Thanks for your interest in my code, and sorry again for the long delay in responding to you.

What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

herrcaptain ,

Ah, yeah, playing on official or public servers is definitely gonna be a mixed bag in terms of location. I’ll admit I didn’t really consider that as I’m lucky enough to have a good group of friends with similar gaming interests, and we’re all within about 100 KM of each other. I just ended up building a server and self-hosting out of my home.

astanix ,

You can play a ton of turn based board games on boardgamearena.com

You can play real time or turn based. It works on any browser, even mobile.

With the news that has subsequently broken, I fear this item that I submitted to Mike Glyer at File 770 will get overlooked.

Please remember that there are many, many more victims of this mess, and who don't have large followings on English-language social media to hear their anguish.

EDIT: Any chance of some boosts on this plz? It bothers me my posts about censored posts & big biz dodginess get lots of engagement, but not the human side

@Yorkslass70 @neilhimself I love all of Zelazny's work but A Night in the Lonesome October is one of my favorites! I got to hear him read the whole thing to us at a Con over three nights. Every so often he would stop and make notes in the manuscript he was reading from.

@Yorkslass70 @neilhimself

I have several friends who read this every October chapter-by-chapter, day-by-day; I don't have that level of discipline; if I start it, it's getting finished same day!

Zelazny was a very underrated writer; I sometimes think he's omitted a lot in libraries, who always seem to have a lot of Asimov, simply because of his alphabetical positioning.

“In discussing the questions summed up in the phrase academic freedom, it is necessary to make a distinction between the university proper and those teaching bodies, called by whatever name, whose primary business to inculcate a fixed set of ideas and facts. The former aims to discover and communicate truth and to make its recipients better judges of truth and more effective in applying it to the affairs of life. The latter have as their aim the perpetuation of a certain way of looking at things current among a given body of persons.” — John Dewey, “Academic Freedom” (1902, MW, 2: 54)

You should be concerned about the Center for Open Science partnering with Meta

https://www.cos.io/about/news/meta-partners-with-cos-to-share-data-to-study-well-being-topics

Meta doesn't care for , research integrity, user safety or human rights even. It is naïve to think that the COS is going to do anything other than PR laundering for Meta.
