But yeah it would be nice for Firefox to support PWAs natively.
The mods are going crazy in this thread. 🤣 shouldn’t expect any different on this instance.
Thank goodness for the modlog! You are right on. Just because American propaganda is bad doesn’t mean Chinese isn’t bad too or that we have to defend it. Everyone should be held accountable.
I prefer just about every third-party UI to the official one…
Don’t forget Playlet for Roku!
is anyone aware of how to properly link comments on lemmy?
As far as I know, there is no way right now. There’s some discussion of having a more agnostic identifier here, but seemingly no movement yet.

The best you can get right now is using an extension like Instance Assistant for Lemmy, but that only helps you, not the person you’re responding to.
That said, if you use a mobile app (I use Thunder) it will usually handle post/comment links in-app, so it doesn’t matter what instance they link to.
2·2 years agoWhoa that’s cool! It works in Thunder!
A Roku stick requires the Roku streaming service to be functioning to be useful.
That’s not true at all. You could use a Roku with only Plex/Jellyfin and it would be immensely useful.
Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It’s a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.
Looks like mostly C++.
I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a ‘real’ browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that’s just my reading from the outside. :)
They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn’t work on Serenity.
Lol it’s not a link in the markdown so it’s just the Lemmy web UI making assumptions. Also it’s funny that they don’t own that domain.
Didn’t they recently get bought by Canva? Not saying that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s something to keep in mind.
I think migrating is the hardest part. My email history has a lot of important records and notes that I don’t want to lose.
By the way, I recommend checking out this video, which makes a great point that email is inherently insecure, regardless of the provider you choose.
Don’t fret, I think a lot of us are on a long-term journey to de-Google. I’ve actually found that changing browsers is one of the easiest things to do, especially with the ability to import your bookmarks and such. With Firefox Sync, you pretty much have the same functionality as you would with your Google account signed into Chrome.
What engine does it use?
I have no idea. I’d guess not, as it’s not a strong fork like other Chromium-based browsers. Its main selling point is that it’s nearly identical to Chrome, but with a lot of the Google garbage stripped out. I don’t use it as a daily driver, but only when I need something Chromium-based like the use case mentioned by @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml. It’s very likely to work wherever Chrome does.
They expect most users to not care, and sadly they’re right.
Keep in mind that VPSs will charge for bandwidth, which adds up quickly when you’re streaming.
One suggestion I haven’t seen mentioned is contacting your ISP. Sometimes you can get a dedicated IP, although you might have to pay for it.
Alternatively you might just break down and pay for Plex Pass. I know that goes against the Lemmy philosophy to the very core, but for all its issues, Plex is still way ahead of Jellyfin in terms of features, UI/UX, etc. Jellyfin will get there, and I’m ready to switch the day that Plex becomes unusable, but that hasn’t happened yet.
