Twitter has been an advertising platform first, social network second for a very long time now.

For regular gaming experiences, WINE and Proton are brilliant. For some .NET stuff it's still lacking. On WINE, MusicBee for example lacks proper CJK font redirection and dragging the tabs on it causes MusicBee to throw errors. You might also run into issues gaming if you have certain setups + controllers too.

There's still weird bugs with Plasma Wayland unrelated to GPUs too. For whatever reason, dragging a file from a notification (e.g. Spectacle when a screenshot is saved) to Discord will make the shell just quit and restart...

I gave Pulse - a recent Firefox fork - a try and the minimalist UI (in comparison to base FF and Floorp) was really nice. Then I tried Simple Tab Groups to replace Vivaldi's Tab Workspaces and it was better than Workspaces for me.

And then someone on fedi linked Sidebery and that basically combines STG with Tree Style Tabs. Sidebery didn't play nicely with Pulse's native sidebar features so I'm on base Firefox with similar user.js tweaks as well as hidden tabs.

The article is pretty old now, especially since there's more Firefox forks than just Pale Moon and Waterfox, but it just boils down to "forks might not have features or security updates that Firefox will have". Wonder what the Librewolf and Floorp guys would think of that now.

I like buying CDs so I have a backup in case things go very wrong. The fact that a CD is the same as a digital file but physical plays to that advantage.

That being said I think I'm thinking on starting my own vinyl collection now - got the bug thanks to buying a 7-inch from Grouper. CD and vinyl have completely different but still valid use cases.

Hi-Fi Rush mixes DMC-style combat with rhythm gameplay, and has a great soundtrack and charming personality to match.

Not sure about the hardening but as a former Vivaldi user I hope this fork flourishes. I recall Mozilla saying they want to focus on Firefox's customisability and this cranks that to 100.

Nice to see appreciation for it in the comments too. With things like HowToGeek's article on how Firefox forks are the devil, I feel it can hurt Firefox's image.

Floorp is still Firefox at its core as it's still using Firefox's UI and building on top of it, while Chromium can be embedded into a GUI (see Vivaldi and projects like CEF and Electron). That doesn't discredit it, in fact some of Floorp's changes are pretty good for customisabiity and user experience. That being said, I was told that the engine powering Firefox was able to be embedded but it had many issues to the point where integrating Chromium was easier.

On a similar note, I know Pulse Browser is part of an overarching project to make forking of Firefox an easier job, and I know they and the Floorp people are friendly.

Yeah I tried "ruled" and it worked. It does try to put court things in though, and I don't think that was OP's intention.

I've gotten it to generate Robert Smith from The Cure, but not photo-realistically or intentionally (though Robert was in the prompt he wasn't the focus)

I wanted it to make a big wasp being cuddled and it's adamant on showing me that fucking dog instead. Maybe it prefers bees.
