Then I have no idea :/.

Good luck!

That's weird. The only reason I can think of is, if you have tweaked with userChrome.css, the toolbar with the question may not be visible. I say that because it has happened to me :). You can try restarting with add-ons disabled (via about:profiles) and see if there is any difference.

EDIT: Another option would be that there is some setting I've changed to allow this. But if I did, I don't remember doing it :.

Here it is how it should look like:

Other proposed solutions are valid, I just wanted to add that...

So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword.

To get exactly this behaviour, you can have a bookmarklet with the keyword work and this in the URL field:

        javascript:(() => { ['https://ddg.gg', 'https://google.com'].forEach(w => window.open(w)) })();


  

Some notes:

• You can change the list of URLs with what you want to be open.
• The first time you run it, it will ask you to allow it to open multiple tabs. But it should remember the answer for next executions.
• Is possible to add arguments for advanced use cases

How did you set "DuckDuckGo HTML" as the search engine?

I didn't see the option and when I searched, I saw that addon and thought that was the way to do it.

EDIT: see the other comment with the solution

It works for me. I installed this add-on and when I 'select text (in the example "running") > right click > Search Duck DuckGo HTML for "..."', it opens this URL:

https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=running

Does that URL work in your browser?

Oh, sorry, I didn't link the 2 parts of your comment.

Yeah, RaspberryPi-alike stuff if also something I want to look into in the future. But it is probably best to take it one step at a time.

Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Do you know if there is any reason to prefer Virtualbox over Hyper-V?

Thanks for the answer!

May I ask you how do you balance resources (mainly RAM) between Windows and Linux?

Depending on your specs, you may want to go lighter (...)

Good point regarding balancing hardware resources.

Windows VM on linux is painfully slow and doesn’t have a license, so it’s much less good than linux VM on Windows IMO.

Good to know.

Thanks!

Interesting suggestion, I'll think about it.

The only program that I'm aware I need Windows for is Photoshop (I don't know if Wine is an option or if that counts as "Windows).

So you're probably right. The main reason I prefer to start with VMs is to try a few distributions before committing to one of them... and the laziness I get thinking about how to migrate my current Windows installation to a VM... or (even worse) reinstalling Windows from scratch :P.

Thanks!

Thank you very much, it seems I'm on the a right path.

Thank you very much for the in-depth answers. It makes a lot of sense

I'm happy to say that most of the problems won't probably apply to me. I have a laptop with no dedicated GPU and I don't play high end games, so I think there will be no problem with that.

Is that a good idea?

If you keep in mind that it won't 100 % behave like a "proper" installation when things go weird it's fine.

It's probably impossible to list all the possible differences, but do you know what are the most common ones?

Thanks again!

Do you know of any advantage of using VirtualBox over Hyper-V?

I tried dual booting in the past. The main problem is that I'm too lazy to reboot every time I want to try something in linux and I end up not using it :/.

I hope that with VMs I can have a smoother transition being able to work with both of them at the same time.

I should have added that... thanks for the suggestion.

Already answered in other comments. I just wanted to add a couple of related communities:

• !rss@lemmy.ml
• !rssfeeds@lemmy.world

My 2 cents: Ideally, there could be other options like:

• Better default sorting algorithm that penalizes those bot posts.
• Filters for global feeds (mainly "new" in this case): you could still see their posts in their communities, but not on the global feeds.
• (?) Default list of blocked users when you sign up on a given instance: you could unblock them if you want, but new users will not see their spam.

I'm of the opinion that defederating should be the last option but, given the current features, I don't see any better way :(.
