Hahahahahahaha, you're a... tech "miracle"! For the 10 years with Linux I've never uninstalled the DE by accident or otherwise, or any of the other problems you mentioned. I have fucked up my computer only once but I did it on purpose - to see what will happen. I had already created a clonezilla backup of a working system, so I was free to experiment and... I decided to uninstall both kernels (rolling and LTS) and reboot. There was no kernel panic because there was no kernel to begin with. πŸ˜†

I've seen those messages but I've always ignored them. I restart whenever I decide, not when Mozilla wants me to. πŸ˜†

I've disabled it long ago and yet it keeps popping up on FB, YT and all other websites. Clearly "disabled" on Firefox means nothing, so... CSS.

Thanks. This makes things... sort of more clear but not by much. Bc I've joined an atheism community which apparently is on .world and I can comment there just fine. But at the same that post I mentioned opens at .world and says I must login. (scratching my head where it doesn't itch πŸ˜‚) Still, thanks to all three of you for the answers, I wasn't sure if my question will be answered or deleted.

 

Today (and not only today) I saw a bunch of tourists from other countries. You'd say "big deal". But here comes the twist: ALL they did was to walk around the city and take pictures ONLY of churches. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I don't see the point of travelling a thousand miles (or more) to another country and all you do there is taking pictures of only churches and skip everything else there is to see. To me this looks like the same absurd if I go to another country and start taking pictures of their sewers. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ 🀣

I've always wondered how to remove the audio button, so I'll use your code - thanks!

I don't suppose you know of any CSS to permanently disable the picture-in-picture mode for all websites?

If not, what do you think β€œlock-in” actually means?

That they'll lock you out of your repo without access to manage it, maybe? Or threaten you to make your software inoperable in Windows, if you don't comply? IDK, they can always think of sonething but if they think I don't already have full copies of my projects on my computer, they're deeply mistaken. πŸ˜‚

β€’ The manually pinned literally sink somewhere behind the repeatedly pinned links from other sites, so manually is pointless. β€’ If "force stop" and then start FFA were enough, I wouldn't mention phone reboot. β€’ Never heard of those but I'll definitely try them. Thanks for the info. β€’ If it does, I'never found it in the settings. Or, for whatever reason, it doesn't appear on Xiaomi phones.

Reading Hadriscus' comment below ours from 2 weeks ago, looks like the reason I abandoned the desktop FF (and went for a fork) has been moved to FFA - enorcing their view on what's best for the user without giving the user the option to revert what they have done. Do I have to say this behavior which famous corp. reminds me of or will Mozilla think of it themselves?

Fortunately I'm safe from that bc right after I assembled my current PC (even before moving the distro to it; yes, moving, not "installing"), I entered BIOS and disabled secure boot, IPM 2.0 and pretty much everything Spyware related. Only then I booted Clonezilla and extracted from the backup image. Since I had done the same on the old PC in BIOS, that means my Arch was never installed with SB and IPM active.

On top of that the last update of BIOS nearly broke it, so I flashed it back to the more stable version the motherboard came with. And since I have no intention to update BIOS, I'm safe from all that trouble.

They will, if you change the links and share them with at least your users.

What do you think Ubuntu is? Microsoft's touch in it is so obvious that only a fool would miss it.

How exactly do they hope to lock devs in github??? That's absurd, there's no way they can achieve that. I can always take my projects elsewhere and there's nothing they can do to stop me.

 

I love American muscle cars (both classic and modern V8’s - gasoline and diesel, even coal runners) but I couldn’t find a community about these beautiful machines, so I decided to create one: https://lemmy.ml/c/american_muscle For all American V8 fans! :)

4 years ago was the last update of this extension which was then abandoned by its (now unknown) author and eventually removed from AMO. I used it ever since when recently it started glitching a bit, so I decided to revive it with a small improvement upon the original: you can close it the same way it opens - with a click on its icon in the toolbar. The extension has finally been approved by AMO's team and it's accessible to be downloaded and installed. Screenshots and a video demo were added in the description on AMO.

Do you remember the old days of Firefox when the statusbar used to an actual bar with stuff on it? Well, now you can have that.

At first I tried using the actual status bar - the one whose availability you can enable in settings and then choose whether it will show links or not. With some CSS for customizing the status bar, that would eventually leave you with a bar with two thick white lines that look like border and that won't go away no matter what you do. Again - that's a linux only problem! These lines are not present in the Windows version of Waterfox.

So, I took some time to play with that, I even asked an AI for help but no good - the desired status bar wouldn't appear as I wanted it. So I took another approach: I brought up the bookmarks bar. Since I'm not using it anyway, I decided to turn it into a status bar:

  1. Bring up the bookmarks bar.
  2. Go to settings and choose position for it - bottom.
  3. Remove any bookmarks from it, if there are any.
  4. Right click on it --> Customize toolbar --> Remove any elements from the bookmarks bar. Also remove the message "add bookmarks here". If you want, you can add the Zoom function (-|100%|+) and it automatically go to the right most part of the bookmarks bar, making it look even closer to the classic status bar. You can add other things to it, if you want - just not bookmarks, otherwise it will become a mess.
  5. Open your profile dir which is usually located in ~/.waterfox/Profiles/randomname.default-release-1. Note that I can't tell you where EXACTLY this last directory is because I changed the location of mine long ago - so long ago that I don't even remember what its original location and name were. Anyway, once you find, enter the directory chrome (if you don't have it - create it) and then open/create a new file named userChrome.css. This file is responsible for the appearance of the browser. So, open/create it and paste this in it:

`#statuspanel { position: fixed !important; left: 0 !important; bottom: 0 !important; z-index: 9999 !important; }

#statuspanel-label { margin-left: 10 !important; border: none !important; padding: 10 !important; font-family: "Open Sans" !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-weight: bold !important; color: #E2B582 !important; }`

and your new status bar (after you restart the browser) will look like on the screenshot above. Ofcourse, you can change the font color, size or family to any values you want. These are my colors and font size and also just for the example on how to make this work.

The Waterfox version I did this with is G6 - 6.5.11.

 
 

The extension "Open With" wasn't working with Waterfox 6.5.10 but I managed to make it work with this version (and hopefully with all future versions). I've uploaded the fix + a short but detailed enough description on github.

 

The calendar looks the same way as the menu - with 40% transparency. I've been thinking of transforming the menu and the calendar to a solid green background color (instead of transparency) but never had the time to do it. The original theme was Mint-Y-[something] about 8 years ago but nowadays it's... something else.

 

I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?

 

Earlier today I commented another's post and thanked them for their understanding in my native language. The sentence was literally "Thank you for your understanding!" and nothing else. Half an hour later I received a warning that my post has been removed because the post was against their double standards. So I left Fascistbook. I haven't deleted my account, I just won't visit it anymore. If you're still in that anti-social toilet, avoid thanking anyone for anything, otherwise you might find yourself in a read-only mode for a few days. I could post a screenshot of both my comment and the warning but both are in Bulgarian language and I doubt you'd understand anything from the screenshot.
