Very true! Good points.

It makes so much sense to have EVs be solar-powered, and would also ease my worry about running low on electricity and not finding anywhere to charge. I hope they’re a reality sometime while I’m still driving.

After years of using Linux, the last time I used Vim, I remembered for the first time how to go into command mode, exit, and save the file I was editing without looking anything up.

I liked Snaps and Flatpaks fine when I first started using Linux, and the distro I was on treated them the same as software in the repo, but I eventually started to avoid them because of the space they take up, and because I got tired of constantly having to mess around with permissions to try to get things working. Now, if something isn’t available in rpm, I use AppImage or a tarball, or compile it myself.

You can edit system files with a GUI text editor by opening the containing folder as root in a GUI file manager, then opening the file you want to edit from there.

I’ve used LibreOffice for years, and formatting is a constant struggle. I end up looking online to figure out how to make a small, simple change, and it turns out the only way to do it is by messing with styles, which is way more than I want. The focus on styles is LO’s biggest drawback, IMO.

In TN, a drivers license is $28 with or without Real ID. I got it by accident.

Collaborating with Arkenfox on default settings was nice, but wasn’t fundamental to the goals of the project. You can look at their Codeberg to see that the latest activity was a few days ago, and there have been several releases since the date of the thread you linked.

I remember that! Standards mode vs compatibility mode. That was a great feature, too. Opera was unique.

This is very insightful.

Personally, I enjoy having multiple options and being able to choose what meets my needs best.

That thread is several months old, and is specifically about integrating Arkenfox settings changes. I wouldn’t say Librewolf has ceased development based on the fact that their default settings differ from Arkenfox. Their Codeberg site shows ongoing work.

I don’t consider myself to be any type of greedy, but that’s how I ran my business. At least 97% of my clients were regulars, and almost all were recommended by a neighbor or coworker. I did very little advertising, but was busy 12-16 hours a day, every day.

And the ability to switch browser engines on the fly. That was a great feature.

You don’t have to read everything posted over the entire history of the forum. Old threads are kept so that when you need information they contain, you can find them with search, not with the expectation that new people are going to read all of them before posting.

Personally, I would be irritated to be signed up for an instance I didn’t choose and may not be what I like, especially if the app hid the fact that I had a choice.

Ohh, now I get it.

What I’m thinking about is more that in Linux, it’s common to access URLs directly from the terminal for various purposes, instead of using a browser.

My brother joined Homeland Security even though he didn’t believe in a lot of what they do, so he could afford to start a family and take care of them. Wonder what he’s up to these days.
