  • As a Firefox user since version 40 because chrome would frequently scan my hard drive for no reason. It used to be so much worse lol this Firefox is good in comparison.

    I’ve never used it myself but I’ve heard betterfox can help https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox

    Mozilla has been very rapidly destroying itself. The plan to rewrite the rendering engine got scrapped so it’s still running gecko underneath it all. Unironically safari is better to use which I never thought I’d say. Idk why but Firefox takes ages to resolve the websites address but I never have this issue in other browsers. Crashing I’ve never personally had but I assume you’re a tab hoarder which yeah Firefox eats ram like nobodies business. Give betterfox a go see if it helps.

    I’m not entirely sure why so many of the comments are being unhelpful and rude. “It’s a configuration issue” doesn’t really help anyone and theres a an expectation that software works in its default state. I however use Firefox from an ideological anti google standpoint but I’ve never considered it a good browser lol I just put up with its shit. My favourite bug was for years if I added a new browser to the account sync it would duplicate all my bookmarks and for ages my bookmarks were in a terrible state. I eventually went to clean them up which somehow resulted in my phone losing all of them which then synced back to my desktop. 10/10 software took 3 billion years to add vertical tabs… still has the superior dev tools though

    Also not sure why several comments are denying Mozilla’s shift into ai it’s literally their main strategy right now there’s a fucking glowing ai button in the sidebar…

    A tip for people here if you want to actually help someone don’t just reply with “works on my machine guess you’re stupid” it’s not helpful and it’s extremely Reddit coded behaviour and doesn’t help move people to using Firefox. Same goes for this websites Linux advice it’s atrocious





  • Lmao I have a colleague who brings in like a new flavour of keyboard in every month that somehow has even less keys than the last one and when he asks for my help he’s like “oh sorry i bound the windows key to my buttplug” as a struggle to write literally anything. Nobody can psyop me down from a full size keyboard with numpad. Anyway bringing your own keeb is good from a hygiene standpoint aint catching ur keyboard boogers.

    Also I don’t trust the clean desk aesthetic if ur desk isnt a mess of post-it notes, random PC parts, a bunch of pens and notebooks and 3 missmatched monitors I don’t trust you






  • I came back for the fishing update cos it was really fun and the planets were pretty and then I decided to do the original story with my bf and some portal thing turned my ship into a testicle and I quite forever. Apparently still has really old bugs from like when it came out :(

    If you do play make sure to use the save tool and backup your saves and ship seeds lest your ship turn into a testicle. Everything is stored locally and save files editable and you won’t get banned so just an fyi. It’s a fun game
