i'm in straya, not europe, but am avidly anti-merka anti-orange anti-fascist et al. i have three pooters here.

• old clunker media pc: #LMDE
• laptop: #Fedora #Kinoite -- really hoped to put #KDELinux or #Kalpa on it, but neither copes with its old HW [2011 dell xps15, no uefi]. Kinoite is lovely, but i'm unhappy to use a merkan system, so once i find another atomic immutable compatible with it [i have run numerous mutables on it over the years, but nowadays want an immutable on it], i will replace Kinoite.
• main tower: triple-boot Arch KDE + Fedora Kinoite + SparkyLinux Cinnamon. Same comments here for Kinoite; not the uefi bit though, as tower is uefi, but both Kalpa & KDELinux atm "demand" a drive to themselves, so i might need to buy another SSD. In meantime, my daily boot is again Arch, after a few months of daily Kinoite.

have used, & enjoyed, #kdiff3 as my default graphical diff app in all my various distros, having first discovered it in my default boot, :archlinux: :kde: , years ago. it has been quite an up & down ride though, coz when it works it's excellent, but over the long haul it has broken many times, partly or completely. for the past week or two it's been pissing me off again. though it launches, both standalone & when invoked from #Dolphin, as soon as i click the icon to begin the manual diffing, its GUI freezes & has to be closed. trying several recent versions via downgrade hasn't helped, & reverting its config file to default also hasn't. i've finally lost all patience with it, so have removed it, & now my default diff app is #Meld... which is a pity given it's GTK. i still have #Kompare installed, but only use it for simple things, given it is barely configurable & flexible compared to the other two. sassen frassen rassen.

been several months now since i gave Tower her 3rd-boot, being her first atomic/immutable, :linuxfedora: Kinoite, to supplement her 1st-boot :archlinux: :kde: , & her 2nd-boot :linuxdebian: SparkyLinux. have been using Kinoite daily. am now conflicted...

• really pleasant to use, a great UX 👍
• really wish it was not merkan 👎

imo, i hope hope hope that project banana, aka, KDE-Linux :kde: :linux: reaches Beta asap, at which point i might well replace Kinoite with it... not only, but bigly part of my desire, to eliminate as much merkanism from my pc as possible, such is my abhorrence & disgust with that failing fascist state of murder, invasion, violence, & skyfairydelusionism.

@unfa i abandoned it mid-last year. the two things it had going for it [one actual, one promised], they later abandoned ( #webpanels , #treestyletabs). its terrible random habit of losing all tabs on restart [peeps complaining for well over a year of it], & then the Dev's initially just idiosyncratic UI design concept warping into simply silly, then entirely killed it for me.

quite tickled today to have finally stumbled over the #TreeStyleTab "settings within the settings" view, in which at last i've been able to greatly narrow the Pinned Tabs' width, to fit many more into a single row.

#sidebery's had this option plainly available in its settings for yonks, & i always felt it weird for #TST to lack that similar granularity. no more need i ponder, the fault was mine, for not burrowing deep enough.

well well well, i have synthesised a pretty comfy workaround. the basic problem ofc remains, which is why i call this a workaround not solution.

• my daily browser is :firefoxnightly: , hence can/does use the Mozilla-created AddOn #SideView (which tbh i always misremember as being #OpenInSidebar)
• i have reverted my #Friendica Settings Display theme to the default Light [ow ow ouch, my poor eyes!]
• i have re-enabled the AO #DarkReader for this site (eyes go phew!)
• once again now, per my OP, if i access my received Friendica Notifications in the main page, Dark Reader entirely hides the momentary shading / highlighting of the applicable post... ie, most unhelpful
• however, when viewing my account in the sidebar, via Side View, the Dark Reader AO does not work, so i see only the underlying Light theme. this is usually a large disadvantage IMO of using Side View, but in this specific scenario, it is actually handy...
• if, hereafter, i open my account Notifications not any more in the main page, but in the sidebar, still being the Light theme means i now DO get to see that helpful momentary shading / highlighting of the applicable post
• yes it is blinding, but less so than the main page coz its area is much smaller, plus i am only in that sidebar view for seconds, after which i revert to its default, being #TreeStyleTab.
• so far, this new workflow seems quite good

fwiw.

@kingtor well fwiw, i'm a "fediverse type", & i continue using my desktop Linux :firefoxnightly: with daily delight. i laugh about, often at, the many panic merchants volubly screaming to abandon ship now. so much operatic hysteria.

@rob ha. i can see your point. i have a slight twist though on your theory. in my case, i did not reach a point recently of choosing :linuxdebian: , but instead decided that i am now too old fat & lazy to still "enjoy" needing to do the various little bits & pieces to keep my :archlinux: all ticketyboo, so decided to go #immutable #atomic for a quieter life. hence, lappy now is single-boot Kinoite, & tower is now triple-boot Kinoite / ArchLinux / SparkyLinux. so my details are different, but i think i do get the essence of your sentiment, & agree. fwiw.

@pheonix but did it really?

Windows 11's hardware requirements sent millions of perfectly functional CPUs to the landfill

ofc for months & years leading up to Oct 2025, lots of pundits were predicting this would happen. however we are now past that date, so when i see peeps still repeating the old prospective claim, my desire for objectivity kicks in. do we have actual factual evidence that the terrible hardware armageddon did happen? 🤔🤷‍♀️

You’ve just been upgraded to Firefox Nightly 148!

Every 4 to 5 weeks, a new major version of Firefox is released and as a result, the Nightly version increases as well.

This is a good time to thank you for helping us make Firefox better and to give you some pointers to documentation, communication channels and news sites related to Nightly that may be of interest to you.

Hello to other Fedora Kinoite users. Do any of you pls know how to install the #Oxygen #GlobalTheme, or at least these individual parts:
- Application Style
- Window Decorations
- Icons
- Cursors

I use those by choice in my tower's ArchLinux boot, but in my Kinoite boot this theme is absent. My online search attempts for a solution have not helped. Ta 🤞

i have a ginormous collection of browser #bookmarks, going back decades. am now pondering the efficacy, or not, & efficiency, or not, of trying to convert my browsing to a #tag-based paradigm rather than bookmark-based, similar to the success i experienced a year ago when i converted my #Thunderbird email history from complex folder hierarchy, to #tags.

anyone already trod this path, pls?

@gperson@social.linux.pizza How do you do Wayland #remoteaccess?

In my tower's Arch Plasma boot, like you i only use the Wayland session option, ignoring the X11 option.

In my tower's Kinoite Plasma boot, being Fedora there is no X11, only W.

My lappy also runs Kinoite. It is impossible to remote access it using FOSS from my tower, afaik, because neither #RustDesk nor #AnyDesk yet support a Wayland remote pc.

I don't understand why more users are not worried about this.

yesterday i learned of this new, nascent, feature in ​:firefox_nightly:​ -- a context-menu option to add a note to a tab. atm it is very raw, coz whilst adding a note works, as does later editing it, there seems no way to inspect some "index" of notes one has created over time.

@gtronix@infosec.exchange i use ​:firefox_nightly:​ so have had this for a while, & it is certainly helpful. overall though, until we get nestable groups, thus facilitating in effect tab trees, this belated advent of foxy #tabgroups remains inadequate for me, ergo each day i continue to use my #TreeStyleTab profile not my #NativeVerticalTabs profile.

@jbz@indieweb.social fwiw... i still use ​:firefox_nightly:​ & love it. i disable or otherwise just don't use its #AI bullshit baggage. i enjoy using its new long-awaited #SplitTabs feature. i use the brilliant #FirefoxSecondSidebar project, giving me a #WebPanel second-sidebar more powerful & flexible than any of #Floorp, #Zen [before they removed it], & Vivaldi. i use the magnificent #TreeStyleTab AO for exquisite infinitely-nestable hierarchical tabs that blows FF's native vertical tabs, chromium's, Floorp's, Vivaldi's outta da water. I use the also magnificent #SimpleTabGroups AO to give me excellent #Workspaces capability. my #uBlockOrigin is in Advanced Hard Mode, & the many tens of thousands of dynamic filter rules i've cumulatively created over the years helps make day to day browsing simply lovely. I use custom #userChrome.css, #userContent.css, & user.js files to tailor my Nightly's UX & UI "just so".

every day for many many months now i read so many posts from peeps [rightly] complaining about "what the fuck is mozilla doing to us with this ai garbage?", but who then solicit or advocate jumping to another #Gecko variant, or [& these ones really make me roll my eyes] say they're now going to chrome coz why not... ffs.

for years i have actively also used / tested all the browsers named above [except chrome, never that pig-swill, but chromium yes], & also #librewolf, #waterfox, #tor ... & in all cases i find various UX & UI aspects that frustrate me so much that sooner or later i always return to my bespoke #FirefoxNightly .

for those willing & indeed interested in bothering, afaict we foxxers can still have our cake & eat it.

fwiw.

#TIL that afaict, based on an hour of testing, the AO #SimpleTabGroups seems fully compatible with the wondrous AO #TreeStyleTab, & now the ooniverse has shifted. My ​:firefox_nightly:​ #FirefoxNightly ipso facto now has the power of #TST with #Workspaces. ​:purple_heart:​

Oh cool; ik heb eindelijk ontdekt dat de TreeStyle Extensie voor FF helemaal niet meer nodig is, omdat Firefox nu zelf verticale tabs biedt. Nu heb ik ineens een stuk meer ruimte op mijn scherm.

Hadden jullie mij dat niet wat eerder kunnen vertellen?

#Firefox #VerticaleTabs #TreeStyleTab #OpenSource

@zenbrowser@floss.social Good, nice, thanks... but what about the rest of it? Tab trees... not only for pinned tabs, but all tabs, as per #TreeStyleTab & #Sidebery?

#7359 https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/7359 was supposed to add folders and trees, but a new PR was split off (#9355) that only added folders. Is there any chance that tree tabs will be added eventually or are tab trees not planned?
https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/discussions/891#discussioncomment-14235449

+1 here, i'm super looking forward to any native tree implementation in zen. Here's hoping trees were just cut to get folders out faster and are still planned for later.

Either way, would love some transparency on this, as everything pointed at that PR adding trees but they were just dropped for one reason or another.
https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/discussions/891#discussioncomment-14235627

I haven't looked too deep into the contents of the folder PR, but much of the UI/UX work of "tree-styled things" should be done so hopefully a tree-style tabs PR would be somewhat simplified.

Late last year, after having used it as my daily default browser for a few [maybe several?] months, the incessant bugs, unrelenting workflow-buggering major changes, & frequent loss of all tabs, caused me to abandon :zenbrowser: [only in early Beta back then, so not totes surprising] & return to ticktacking back & forth twixt :firefox_nightly: and :floorp:. Into 2025 those latter two continued competing for my daily affections.

T'other day i learned that the long awaited native #TabFolders in :zenbrowser: have now landed in #ZenTwilight [the nightly / Alpha version], & thus might be expected to make it finally into the Beta version within a week or two. This morn, possibly against my better judgement but tbc, that discovery inspired me to jump back into my :zenbrowser: Beta & relearn it + learn all the stuff new since i last dabbled, in anticipation of this incipient major design UI & UX change.

All the #KleverKids are saying that Zen's TabFolders are a game-changer, coz they will provide users with the first ever native-in-a-Fox browser tab hierarchical nesting. None of :firefox_nightly:, :firefox: , nor :floorp: has it [all only flat, not tree, structures; ditto flat-only in Chromium, Vivaldi, Edge et al]. Hitherto the only way to gain this important function has been via AddOns like #TreeStyleTab or #Sidebery. These are both fabulous, but do not have access to all the native foxy code bits n pieces [i've damn well forgotten the proper term atm, sigh], so by using either of these AOs we lose some of the important fox functionality, eg, tab context menu items. If the Zen Dev/s do their work really well, we will finally have our tabby cake & eat it.
