I should have asked more specifically asking how are they using zstd. I already understand that its a compression algorithm.
If you're the kind of person that gets demotivated really easily when there's an opportunity to crawl back than I would wait until EOL so you feel more commit it to your choice.
Though the reasoning for my mind set is because I install linux 4~ times before I really committed to using it as my daily driver. The final push was two very big bugs.
I still have windows installed but its only to play rainbow with some friends.
Can someone explain,
Firefox now supports Content-encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). This is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU use to get the same compression. This is heavily used on sites such as Facebook.
what it means for me the user and what it means for the people who host content?
Can't wait for 1.1
I do agree that most of the detail gets lost. At least for me when the icon is smaller than 30x30~. I personally dislike the the simplification of the new icon makes it feel like it lacks any personality. I specifically miss the globe more then anything else. The globe made it feel like a web browser too me without it I wouldn't even known what it was the first time I saw it.
At less for me the newer two logos makes it feel more like a brand then a piece of software with a cute avatar.
I don't know how how to express my feeling and reasoning for my feeling into words.
Just so people know the 6th logo is Firefox's parent brand logo.
I hope the next Firefox logo is more stylized. I personally have like the 2013 logo the most but the first is a close second. Here is how the 2013 icon looks since it isn't on this list.
I used to always get this page whenever I use my vpn, but when I started using the redirect to old Reddit extension, I no longer had this issue.
Yes, scoop. I still can't remember why I don't like it. I might give it a try when I reinstall windows.
I was thinking of adding it to my list but I'm trying not to download any software on a browser if I can try because I might click on one of those fake look-a-like site that give you malware like what happened to gimp with google ads a while back.
Another reason for why I didn't added it to my list is that it doesn't have apps that I perfer like ungoogled chromium, brave, Librewolf, MPV, neovim, rustdesk, croc, rust, Gog, vscodium, prism launcher, signal, simplex, tor browser, yt-dlp, and Obsidian.
Package mangers are way better for updating than using ninite so I won't have to deel with an app just sending me to download the newest verson.
I do like using ninite for when a friend or family asking for some help with a file so I send them a ninite with Libreoffice, VLC, and 7-Zip (but now win 11 has native support for winrar and 7z so it isn't need for most users)
And yes I know that ninite is very defferent from a package manager, all i'm try to say is that I would rather sepnd a little more time setting up choco then use ninite.
I ment one photo viewer. I only like it because it's a very minimalistic photo viewer and also the windows photo kept crashing at some point so I needed a replacement.
- Autohotkey
- Powertoys
- winget, choco and that other one
- Faststone
- advanced Renamer
- croc
- shareX
- one photo viewer (sadly only on window store)
- everything
I wouldn't consider them hidden gems for the tech savvy community, but for the general community pretty much is.
I think they bought some comany that could help them get into the CG movie sence like what unreal is doing with disney and the likes. The new CEO is try to focusing on the gaming aspect of untiy so they are selling off some parts of the acquisition. I think they mostly kept the IP but are liquidating everything else.
Windows 11 has a bug that when I'm in file explorer and a drag a file out of the window or drag to the file to list of folder or drives on the left side of file explorer. It will freeze file explorer for about one minute. This only happens once in a while. I was extremely frustrated with windows 11 bugs that I thought to switch back to Arch Linux for real this time and even if I bricked Arch Linux, I would reinstall. There is also that Windows 11 AMD CPU bug where it will start to hitch every once in a while, when I was on my desktop. I have been thinking of going back but I love customizability of Linux and bash.
