It was indeed buggy, which was when I reached out to support. They immediately asked if I was using not Google Chrome itself, but a Chromium offshoot like Brave or Vivaldi. I was using ungoogled chromium, so they told me it won’t work. I switched to regular google chrome and it worked great. I wonder what on earth they’re using that’s part of Google Chrome that makes it work and not part of any other chromium projects.

Ladybird looks great! Very much looking forward to an alpha linux release so I can use it and give all kind of feedback.

There’s already plenty of business web apps that require chrome. I specifically use a business focused web app that not only requires Chrome, but ONLY CHROME ITSELF and no chromium derivatives. That’s the first time I’ve come across that. I had previously seen chrome requirements, but they worked just fine on ungoogled chromium. Not this one, nope. Regular Google Chrome and nothing else. wtf is that garbage.

Just tried it out with my proton account. Looks great! It’s very simple, but I also like that about it. And of course being private is wonderful.

Windows 11 was what finally forced me over to linux for good, no more dual booting. I know it sounds strange, but the straw that broke its back was the taskbar. I have an ultrawide monitor, so I ALWAYS have the taskbar vertical on a side. It makes zero sense to have it at the bottom. Massive waste of space. Windows 11 DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE TASKBAR. I was flabbergasted. This is a feature that has existed for decades in every OS. I just couldn’t comprehend the stupidity, so I just didn’t. Formatted the drive and went to Arch, then to Tumbleweed. Couldn’t be happier.

It does I think, not as much as it used to but every now and then I find good articles on there I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. For me, it’s worth a quick glance.

For tech I have Ars, Phoronix, TomsHardware, Slashdot. I feel that covers a lot and keeps me up to date.

I have the displeasure of having that fucking miserable excuse for a human being “represent” my state. I wish him nothing but suffering and pain as he goes through the various stages of brain damage from his recent fall, as evidenced here. He has caused untold suffering and pain on his own fellow countrymen and women. Truly horrific person.

Another vote for the proton services. Been with them for years and very happy.

How difficult was it getting hyperland up and running? I’d be interested in trying it, but the faq’s alone scare me away lol.
