"Open Source" or similarly licensed boardgames? by original_reader in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I had to smile reading their "about" page.

Which search results or which queries could one show the average user to make that point?

Suddenly firefox on ios shows ads on homescreen by original_reader in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 59 points 3 days ago

I mean, I'm not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?

Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we'd be happy with?

Found an old DeviantArt post which seemingly mentions the original source. The source seems offline, though.

This is the source mentioned there: http://kissanime.com/Anime/Ground-Defence-Mao-chan-Sub/Episode-016?id=56590

There are those that help us relax, chill, and unwind.

And then there are the others. Which one stresses you out like no other?

Is there a Windows 10 inspired launch menu? (lemm.ee)

submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by original_reader@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

The ability to resize the menu.
The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
The capability to create folders with applications.
Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

If they can get it to work on non-Google devices, I will consider it. Right now Graphene compatibility is extremely limited. Besides, I basically have to give Google money to avoid Google.

What could be done to make PeerTube more popular? (joinpeertube.org)

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

How do I launch the Profile Manager of Flatpak Firefox with Gnome 3? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 months ago by original_reader@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml

8 comments fedilink

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

How many times has this been posted now? Genuine question: why is this such a big deal?

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before "it all comes crashing down"? What will end life or our way of life as we know it first?

Or do you think we'll make it? If so, how?

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.

Another example of a company making clear that we don't truly own the games we play on their platform.

So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... (lemm.ee)

... as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this "incredible" product, and then says in the same breath: "Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?"

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use...

there are limits

I am glad you have a moral centre.

But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: "*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs."

Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.

Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.
