#Firefox , you were the least bad #browser .
I guess you still are, but trying hard to catch up, aren't you?

Thanks for enabling a #privacy violation without asking me on a profile with enhanced #tracking protection on.

I have over 20 profiles and I can't find a working way to disable it everywhere at once -_-

#mozilla

@pocketvj I am using without auto suspend, as I don't find it reliable enough yet. Just trying to see if I could do a workaround until it is.

seems to be the biggest power hog on my running . Is there any way I can check if the screen is off for a a pre-determined amount of time and then automatically kill firefox or to freeze it in the background by using 'killall -19 firefox-esr'?

With firefox running on my phone, the battery drain is some 10%/hour, while if it is not running the battery drain seems to be in the 4-7%/hour range.

And I want to say I'm loving the state of #GNOME's app ecosystem. Lots of apps, most of them really nice, many of them incredibly polished and well designed. The vision of small applications that do one thing and do it great was never so close.

All my love for the developers of these and many other great applications out there, and also for the GNOME community, for creating the ground for such an ecosystem to grow.

I met with @pabloyoyoista today. We talked, amongst other, about the directions of Papers. As part of my #GSoC project, for example, I'm tackling gestures. It'll be a clean-up as much as will enable touchscreen users, who currently cannot select text, nor add annotations.
Yes, the pizza at the end is obligatory. (Would've been a boring picture otherwise, right?) And yes, they were payed for from a #postmarketOS running device.

There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the [simple plugin](github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw) we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

I'm happy to announce the availability of my new app "eSIM Manager" on postmarketOS! With it you can manage and install eSIMs on your phone running postmarketOS! No more need to boot into Android to do the same!

Small victory: #ChatControl will not come today. Negotiations are postponed indefinitely.

But in July, Hungary will take over leading the negotiations, and Hungary is adamant on introducing Chat Control.

Continue the resistance! Explain to your friends and followers what Chat Control is, what its goals are. Don’t forget about the topic. They WILL try again. But not with us!

Huge thanks to @echo_pbreyer and the reporters of @netzpolitik_feed without whom we wouldn’t even have known about it.

Fresh install of v24.06 with Gnome shell on a , connected to wifi and charged to 100%. After that, it has been sitting idle (except when checking battery) for 52 hours straight. Bat now at 22% with another 12.5 h to go according to upower -d. If that holds, it means ~64 h, or just short of 3 days, of idle time!

Downgraded my daily OP6 from Edge to v24.06, but bat -10%/h and suspend not working reliably. Wonder how much juice running cellular and more stuff use?

@joelselvaraj Fantastic, great work! Any idea when this will be possible on e.g. ?

I am adding to my list of evil crap-companies. This time for not letting me authorize a windows 10 installation with . Old adobe account can only be used once and newly created account not recognized. This means that I, as an honest and tax paying citizen, can't read ebooks borrowed from my local library.

What is the best practise re battery on with and ?
I have tried auto suspend, which makes battery last 12-18h on one charge, while I only get max 10h without. Unfortunately I experience frequent random wake-ups from suspend for no apparent reason with the problem of unwanted button presses on the drop down menu, activating flight mode, turning flashlight on or changing other features available from that menu quickly draining battery.
Anybody else seeing this?
