And this is when Midori failed as a browser, I think. Sad. I really liked it when it was WebKit-based 😩

This sound exactly like "Claims to be Pro-Life, Dies Anyways" to me 🤣

> Easy to slide along the very top edge of your screen.
Wow, now it actually makes sense 😮
On my workstation I have 2x30" displays, fullscreen browser window is a waste of space: all the content gets centered and the sides are empty. So it's a normal floating window, top of the window ≠ top of the screen in this case.
On my laptop I have a small screen, but sway bar is on top, so again I've got to aim to click on a tab.
It never even occured to me they had this in mind 😅

@james@mstdn.starnix.network Workspaces are not the same as tags, but Sway is still awesome!
(pun intended 🤣)

@Gina I couldn't remember my Twitch password, but I've watched most of your stream. It was hilarious how you did your best to avoid these rat creatures 😂
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Oh this reminds me of how they got a ton of raw materials off Ali (B2B marketplace, not the retail one) for one of the Russian "COVID vaccines" — the one that had zero efficacy. I'm not kidding, you can look it up, EpiVacCorona was its name 😂
I don't think the materials were the problem though, it was a hoax from the get go.

@mhd I think they've wanted Chrome to be a platform for web apps so they've got rid of most the UI. Firefox was a real browser though, I don't know why the did the same 🤷
They've removed the SSB parts entirely last year, but the stupid UI remained.
It's still fixable with userChrome.css, my FF has tabs below the address bar and has a visible titlebar — looks way better!

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org That is debatable, but I think overlapping windows were a bad idea. Even MS is adding window management features from tiled WMs, first they've made pinning windows to sides/corners easy and in Windows 11 if you float cursor above maximize button it offers you layouts much like the ones we have in tiled WMs.

Oh, I think I'm fine as long as it's not KGB 😂
I always thought that they had telephony background though.
The client has some controversial defaults about data sharing, it may leak your presence if you're in decentralized rooms — that's it. If there are backdoors, the implementation is the issue, not the protocol. And if the implementation is open source, just do the audit.
No, seriously, since when this Mossad shit is even a point?
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org
@charliebrownau Yes, I know what Delta is. Has its uses.
If you want to run your own server that can talk to clients on other server XMPP and email are fine. Matrix is not that.
It takes decentralization to another level and most of its shortcomings like increased hardware footprint and some minor data leaks here and there come from it.
Like I said, it has its flaws, but those aren't fundamental. It's in active development, give it time, it'll get better. XMPP never will.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org
@charliebrownau No, it's not a problem. I use gomuks most of the time when I need IM only, but if you want e.g. video calls, you have to use Element or something similar that is hardly better.
If you run it in Firefox it's not an Electron app. Firefox is flawed, but you can't run Element in w3m. Matrix is flawed, but we don't have anything better. XMPP is not better, it had its days, but even with all the extensibility it failed to become what it could, it's a thing of the past.
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org
@chrisod Even hardware this old can handle it just fine, it's a matter of habit now.
E.g. most distros have some flavour of getty running on six consoles, I'm a long time Linux user and I've never used more than three, even if it's tens of megabytes, why have it?
And I'm not into having it barebones just for the sake of it, these colored smileys will look cool in mutt — ok, let's use patched st. It's not a good reason to have a terminal that has this, that and the kitchen sink 🤷

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
