I've said it before, but it's really disappointing that you basically have to neglect your research and get a minor degree in computer science if you're a #humanities academic who wants to showcase their work on an ethical platform.
I don't expect to be able to do all the things that #tech folks do, but it seems like it shouldn't be as hard as it is just to get some text on a page.
is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.
I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).
set page background color to match fenix_colors.css, fenix_one.css, and fenix_one-alt.css
Modified fenix_colors.css, fenix_one.css, and fenix_one-alt.css:
optimized colors to better support styles that do not hide the tab bar: desktop and mobile styles, as well as all styles while using larger screen (lapdock, monitor, or tv) including laptop and desktop computers
Modified install.sh:
optimized logic: only attempt to create backup on first run of install.sh script
added new user selection option for applying recommended preferences to user.js
fixed typo preventing dynamic_popups_max.css from being applied
Modified uninstall.sh:
optimized logic: only continue with uninstall if at least one chrome directory has been located in selected browser profiles
added logic to remove added preferences from user.js if present
Modified README.md:
added note to pre-install section about applying recommended preferences with install.sh script
I have not tested Mobile-Friendly-Firefox with these browsers yet, as I am waiting for official arm64 releases before installing them onto my Librem 5. While I think that everything should work, anyone can share issues here on the fediverse, on my Mobile-Friendly-Firefox repo, or on my forum thread. I'll try to check all three from time to time so I don't miss anything.
Minor Update:
Added to install and uninstall scripts
Support for Librewolf flatpak
I have tested and confirmed that it works perfectly.
I just finished my hour-long interview with Oxford University concerning their study of Mastodon and decentralized social media.
They were especially interested in what we’ve done here at Veganism Social, as we have our own fork with custom features that address common complaints such as content discoverability.
Veganism Social’s use case was exemplary of the benefits of decentralizion. Our moderation is uniquely anti-speciesist, and the community has a clear purpose beyond ‘general’.
My analyses of the technological and sociological benefits of decentralization are extensive. I (currently) have a deep understanding of Mastodon’s code-base, and how to use it. I also worked as a software developer for centralized social media, and now moderate a subreddit with 100k members.
I could not possibly exhaust myself of exhilarating insights to share.
Surely, the Oxford study will broaden awareness of how decentralized social media will benefit society.
Next time my wife asks me to stop info-dumping, I’ll banter that Oxford might think it’s worth listening to. 🤭
They’re sending me an Amazon gift card as compensation, and of course I’m spending it all on candy.
Just listened to a very interesting talk on Linux & IBM, excavating the corporate underwriting of #FOSS development, by Davide Carpano at UCSD Science Studies. This is a published companion piece, "Chromium as a tool of logistical power: A material political economy of open-source"
Okay, I think I am done updating files for a while now.
I have fixed all known issues, and everything works well. The only issue is a cosmetic one that doesn’t really matter and is unlikely to be noticed (the Tab Manager Menu in landscape mode doesn’t expand to use the full screen, but it works well and is very usable).
So I think it’s safe for everyone to save the files they need now.
For anyone that saw my post yesterday (November 11th), please check it again. There are additional updates from today, and I edited that post to include them.
Adjusted the following files to allow for vertical scrolling of extension popups:
extensions_menu.css
true_mobile_landscape-alt.css
true_mobile_landscape.css
dynamic_popups.css
dynamic_popups_plus.css
dynamic_popups_max.css
dynamic_popups_pro.css
dynamic_popups_pro_max.css
fenix_fox-alt.css
fenix_fox.css
fenix_one-alt.css
fenix_one.css
Adjusted userContent.css (fenix) to apply fenix colors to all about pages using regexp and selectively fix about pages to better fit display.
Updated on November 9th 2023:
Adjusted userContent.css (fenix) to fix a mistake that I had made. Sidebar size variable was in color section at top, being applied to all screen sizes; it is now properly set for smaller screens only, for the specific about pages that require it.
Updated on November 10th-12th 2023:
Added userContent.css (non-colorized).
Adjusted the following files to properly allow space for Tab Manager Menu button and toolbar items:
Added userContent.css (fenix) to fix Firefox about pages to be better fit for Librem 5 as well as a color theme to match Firefox for Android, code-named Fenix.
Added fenix_colors.css for a color theme to match Firefox for Android, (Fenix). If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file.
Added fenix.css as an alternative to true_mobile_mode.css that more closely resembles Firefox for Android (Fenix).
Added extensions_menu.css to fix the Unified Extensions Menu.
Added dynamic_popups.css and several variations so that extensions expand into a big enough popup which also supports horizontal scrolling. Works best with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css.
Added alt-browser-alt.css to be used with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css instead of browser.css. It can also be used with other styles like alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen and the Nav Bar at the bottom.
Added single_tab_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, and fenix-alt.css, to be used without alt-browser-alt.css or browser.css in order to have the Nav Bar at the top of the screen.
Added true_mobile_landscape.css and true_mobile_landscape-alt.css to have a nice landscape mode that maximizes usable space and fixes flickering popups.
Added fenix_fox.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code except fenix_colors.css. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_fox-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added fenix_one.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code, including fenix_colors.css. If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_one-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added variables into many files so that they work in “Normal” and “Touch” density modes.
If you prefer having a single userChrome file, you can simply rename fenix_fox.css or fenix_one.css to userChrome.css. You can also copy and paste the contents of one of the dynamic_popups files to the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Whichever userChrome file or files you decide to use, you will still need userContent.css (fenix).
