worse? If this means that they refocus on things that matter then I consider this better.

it is possible to use that worst case scenario, but that would be via double tap on button, and I have 8 accounts I need to monitor so that is still quite unergonomic

verso is a seperate project, it's not built in, servo's built in browser is more of a basic shell for usability and testing stuff.

EDIT: My bad, no glasses, misread on for in, there is also moto https://github.com/moto-browser/moto

I am actually really glad to see this happen, Mozilla needs a massive refocus on what actually matters (Firefox, Thunderbird, new tech etc).

there was once a time when mozilla was at the fore front of tech development and they were churning out extremely cool tech one after the other. Servo, DeepSpeech, Firefox reality (wolvic is the successor in case anyone was wondering), a TV browser (Why did they have to kill this of all things off T.T) and others.

I want to see mozilla put more focus, and more importantly, a larger portion of the money they receive on actually doing things.

I do occasionally use the one-handed stuff but unfortunately my RSI means I have poor hand-eye coordination in general which means it's also just really hard to use it like that anyways.

I'll go ahead and leave some feedback. I didn't know they were planning on reworking again.

I can no longer switch users since my hands can't reach that far and I no longer have the dexterity to play phone balancing due to my RSI. I have a LG G7 thinq with lineage, I have the button that was used for AI assistance set to click the top left corner since that's fairly ubiquitous.

That opens the right side tray. I can reach all of the stuff with one hand like this. I can no longer do this with the thunder bird UI.

in any case, if its updating the old app to the new one that is still massively annoying. the new UI is nearly unusable for me since I usually use apps with one hand.

that's annoying, I hate the new client, thanks for the heads up

personally I am not super interested In this, vulkan venus is going to be a lot more portable which is key for me.

The War in Ukraine Was Provoked—and Why That Matters to Achieve Peace

The shooting war in Ukraine began with Yanukovych’s overthrow nine years ago, not in February 2022 as the U.S. government, NATO, and the G7 leaders would have us believe.

So many people forget that the Ukrainian Russian conflict never really ended, the idea that it was an unprovoked invasion is absurd, (and no, before someone decides to make a braindead comment, provoked does not mean justified.) There have been many leaked videos pre-invasion of violence towards both sides, and neither side made a proper effort to actually quell it, only surface level bullshit inorder to take the "moral ground:

Nazi germany came into being a thing because post great war was massively hard on germans in large part to the treaty of versailles completely crippling germany's economy.

ofc there were other factors like the massive propaganda machine, Germany was effectively reduced to a slave state dealt a massive blow to the pride of the german populace which was fairly easy to turn young men militant alone, even disregarding the disastrous effects to the German economy.

I am quite disappointed at the lack of transparency regarding this.

webkit and blink are two massively different beasts, webkit and blink is just an engine in the end, the stuff on top matters too. If it was as simple as engines, it would be like comparing gnome web to chromium.

why? what does country of origin have to do with it in general?

Chrome and firefox on android use their own image decoders.

I don't think it would be that bad. Users have proven willing to eat whatever trash chrome shoves down their throat. Firefox has also proven that they don't really do a great job at preventing chrome from controlling the web market as shown with JXL. They completely dropped the ball here and only recently after safari has proven to successfully adopt it, choosen to follow suite.

Apple has turned out to "prevent the chrome monopoly" far more effectively then firefox has.

Personally I hope firefox dies as fast as possible so we see some focus on good alternatives.

Gecko is not a good platform, there is a reason why people who use geckoview eventually all migrate away from it, the most recent example I can think of is wolvic, which hasn't replaced geckoview yet, but does have the version 1.0 of a chromium release now.

The sooner we get real alternatives to chromium and stop pretending that gecko is one the better. Currently servo is progressing really fast, has good APIs and usability for both a full desktop browser and embedded usecases (but still very immature).

I have a 12vdc direct power USBC charger for my tablet. This will totally fry any normal USBC device it touches.

can't say I have experienced that. I use a myriad of modern but lower end systems and stuff like dinit still uses less resources and is in turn better for the speed and responsiveness of my systems

this is pretty much how it works in some cases, you need to port from one protocol to another, or to a different system altogether.
