Firefox has always had been the most attractive to many people.

As a Taiwanese, I can confirm the caption was made up. I just looked up "life sentence" and "suicide" in Chinese and got no relevant results. The vibe of the picture does look Taiwanese though

What is the main reason you (presumably) use Chrome over Firefox? People here might be able to help you solve the problem.

Your link, https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836811082599292%20sup.%20is%20an%20open%20source%20encrypted%20fediverse%20instant%20messenger,%20similar%20to%20whatsapp,%20made%20by%20pixelfed.%20%20The%20beta%20will%20be%20launching%20later%20this%20month,%20and%20btw%20most%20fediverse%20accounts%20will%20work,%20not%20just%20Pixelfed%20%F0%9F%98%89 is broken. I think you accidentally copied the body text as well. Cleaning up the link results in https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836811082599292, which works fine.

100% agree! I always get so frustrated when there are no screenshots in the README.md or on the site.

Not saying that this is a bad thing, but it's kind of amazing how opinions of the public can shift so drastically within a month: https://lemmy.ml/post/2080934. Last month another user posted in the very same !unixporn@lemmy.ml asking whether people consider the term "rice" racist. The majority opinion back then was "if you get offended over a term like this you should take a break from the Internet."

Mine is not blocked yet. I am definitely worried about this though. I am in East Asia.

Wonder how much YouTube is going to squeeze out of this ad blocker blocking.

Assuming that this does not only work on English words, this is actually really terrifying.

It's often too expensive to support GDPR for Europeans and disable it for other people. Most services just support GDPR for everyone.

My condolences.

I also don't like the fact that Signal needs your phone number and that the only way to connect to other people is by their phone number.

Yes it was the GrapheneOS team who said that. See the paragraph just above Camera. I literally just skimmed their guides and saw this yesterday while considering getting a Pixel.

I use https://github.com/osfans/trime to type Chinese.

I like Termux (terminal emulator) and Xeonjia (fun little game)

There has been this trend indeed, but I do still see news reports about suicides every now and then.

I also felt like it was a phishing attempt. Good thing it only asked for the code it PMed me.

They have defederated from neither lemmygrad.ml nor hexbear.net.

East Asian here. I think the term is fine.

Can anyone explain this pun? I don't get it.

yay unixporn is back

Please don't use serif fonts for UI elements. Imagine the buttons on your file manager being Times New Roman. (eww.) I think what you're looking for is a monospaced font that's designed to distinguish O/0, I/1/l, etc.

Plug for one of my favorite fonts: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users' opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)

Yeah, I can tell this just from skimming their FAQ and Usage Guides. When they talk about the applications they offer, they always sell it as the most secure thing ever. I still personally care more about privacy than security though.

I feel like I'm seeing you everywhere

There are several different ways of inputting Chinese, but generally they all map 2~6 keystrokes to one or multiple Chinese characters, and then the user chooses one. I'd imagine it wouldn't be much harder.

Speaking of manga readers, Komikku is also a manga reader on Linux for Gnome. It's really awesome

Oh, the one I linked to was actually https://rime.im/ ported to Android. If you want to use it on Windows, please use this link instead. By the way, the required setup on Android is quite a hassle compared to the Windows, macOS, or Linux version.

Don't you all love democracy?

This sentence implies that you don't. Why don't you like democracy?

My mom has loads of these Le Creuset pots.

Neither is your reply. When I saw your comment, it immediately occurred to me that you must be from hexbear.net. (My client hides the @instance.org part in usernames.) There was something inherently characteristic of hexbears in your comment. I clicked on your name to check, and voila - of course you were. Your comment is extremely condescending. This is how dreaded the userbase of hexbear.net is. I bet that at least 25 of your 30 upvotes are from other hexbears who upvotes anything from hexbears. I wonder why so many instances have decided to defederate from you.

Ahh so that's what it means. I was trying to think of what sounds like "energy" and could also fit in this sentence.

Woah woah hold up there. Why don't you just mute the keyword "reddit"?

I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.

Yes, I listed Taiwan separately from China.

Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don't like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.

Bottom. It's what makes Firefox stand out.

Yeah I eventually figured that out, hence the quotes. When my HP printer dies, I will replace it with a Brother printer.
