There's as well !monero!monero@lemmy.ml which I guess halted in favor of !monero!monero@monero.town?
If this is the case, I'm wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero!monero@monero.town)...
Just a minor suggestion. When looking for something different than what you're currently familiar with, do so in very open minded way, hopefully no looking for clones to what you were used to, but willing to experience and learn new stuff (there's no failure, just something new that had to be learned and experienced).
I know it's easier saying than doing...
Looking for advice on giant communities is sort of hard, and in the end you won't know what works better for you if you don't try it. The open mind needs to come with some time to be able to play, and enjoy during the play, so it's not a whole series of frustrations.
On this same forum (different threads/posts/converstions) I've read very different recommendations. Even though Manjaro has been recently getting a lot of bad reputation because of letting some certs expire, it's still considered an "introductory" gnu + linux distribution. I've also read Mint is a pretty good "introductory" gnu + linux distribution as well, specially now that ubuntu has finally shown its inclination towards its snap store, rather than the good and solid dpkg + apt, which allowed it to grow on users to where it's currently at.
I myself prefer rolling release models for distributions, and being as vanilla as possible, to be closer to upstream as possible. However I dislike systemd, which is just a personal taste, so I don't have a specific recommendation. It used to be Manjaro offered openrc, but they dropped it, and the distributions I know are Artix (it has gui installers if that's considered "introduction" level distribution, but one still need to handle the configuration mismatches with upgrades as with Arch), Gentoo (I wouldn't say it's not for starters, but for sure it has its learning curve, but more importantly you need to be aware that it's a source based distribution), and Void. If you don't really care, rolling release distributions, which might have an easy ramp up might be Manjaro as mentioned, and now I believe openSUSE Tumbleweed. maybe even fedora come close... Rolling release models might come even easier for newcomers, in my opinion, since there's no need to think on what happens on major updates, but rather one needs to keep updating periodically, but hopefully the distribution helps supporting the safest and saner configurations natively so the user, and particularly newcomer to the distribution don't have to deal a lot to get such safe and sane configurations, at least to start with. And that's to me the important part to call it "introductory" distribution, easy installation might be part of it, but it's hardly the majority of it, and this is perhaps the sad part of what I like about being as vanilla as possible, some distributions even take that as a mantra for configurations, and upstream developers don't always have the safer, or the saner configurations by default. I believe Manjaro and some others take that into account to make things smoother to start with. Maintaining the distribution, keeping it up to date, being able to install stuff, has it's learning curve, no matter the tools/frameworks to do so, and it might be harder if one has to deal with how to make things work because the software doesn't work as it should (configuration required upfront), and it's not hardened enough as well so the user needs to know that and do additional configuration upfront as well.
I'm missing emoji reactions (not replies), jeje
For some time the alternative is freetube, though I don't like is electron, is what we can somehow reliably use
OK, there's a codeberg comment someone else shared, and based on that there's another of such comments from another issue, which sort of indicates an attempt to get back / reset current behavior, but I'm not sure if that one worked or not given the comments from the one who posted it...
Yes, it seems a mess, :(
Sorry about that. I was not aware of other meanings. I'll try to remember to use the complete "software" word instead of its acronym I was used to since the 90s... Hopefully under the context what I wrote doesn't get misinterpreted. Thanks !
What was your setting that is getting overwritten? What I can see from librewolf settings are:
- network.dns.disablePrefetch
- network.dns.skipTRR-when-parental-control-enabled
- doh-rollout.provider-list
- network.trr.mode
- network.trr.uri
If talking about non proprietary kernels' drivers, such as linux, then again, profit is what regulates it. No wonder why now nvidia finally cares about linux, being the most used kernels behind the cloud, behind servers of whatever. Meaning, it's not profitable not to support linux now a days for Nvidia.
The other fundamental factor is lock-in, which is abused by some big corps, such as MS.
But the profit idea es even wrong, but it's what we have been educated with. For an OEM, providing FOSS drivers or FOSS FW doesn't mean to have less profit, but somehow it's interpreted as such. And there's also our culture, backed by corps again, that tends to make us believe that everything profitable enough has to be corporate secret, and if not, others would take advantage of you business. That way of thinking really prevents for more FOSS adoption at the OEMs level. I don't agree with it. It might be the presence or lack of some HW features might be inferred by the drivers/FW, but it doesn't mean your competitors will know how exactly you provide such feature, and even less how to make it with the performance you do. And usually once released, you really want to show off your features, your innovation and so on, not keep it secret. So in general, really see no issue for OEMs not to offer drivers and FW as FOSS, even as free/libre SW.
I can imagine OEMs offering FOSS drivers and FW, but that not being as convenient for the major players in the market, since that would risk their position in the market. Just a thought...
Remember the lock-in mechanisms by the corps that feel being threatened if open sourcing dirvers... Some of which no longer say it out loud, but still think GPLed licences are a cancer...
I'm not aware of any, do you mind sharing anyone, better if not requiring account?
BTW I can easily find blogs about p2p solutions for whatever, but not about p2p blogging solutions...
Arkenfox user.js, or derivative broswers like Librewolf on the desktop and Mull on android are there for a reason. Firefox default settings are not the safer, although it has all the knobs to make it a much better experience.
