yeah, thankfully I can go a bit more basic than that, I just need to figure out what hub, or even cable, I wanna get.

I'm still dualbooting Windows to play games with a controller until I can get off my ass and buy a USB hub. Reason being that the Xbox Series controllers has issues with my mobo's Bluetooth chipset, even when updating the firmware. Bluetooth support is particularly inconsistent with these.

But outside of the odd app that needs Windows (and I can just boot a VM for that), Linux has been really good on the desktop.

I think Madison's post happened after the video itself was planned, recorded, etc, so it's understandable why that's not addressed. But Linus really has to address what she's said on the forums ASAP at least, because there's a lot of damning claims towards his company from her. Like seriously, wtf Linus?

Gonna pop the ThreadReader link here for those who don't want to log into Twitter: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

On the Floatplane thing, I am a bit worried for DankPods, who put a lot of backing into Floatplane after he got screwed over by Twitch. This whole thing might have some collateral damage towards the other creators on there, including him. Was considering subscribing to Floatplane for him and his drum streams before this.

Probably, but between the disabling of userChrome.css (even if you can enable it via about:config) and a possible conflict between other addons I use, I'm comfy with my Pulse setup.

I explain it in another comment, tl;dr: have to edit userChrome.css to give it a more streamlined look (and Mozilla calls that feature "legacy" in about:config since v69 which kinda worries me about that feature's removal) and I'm not sure if some extensions might conflict (Would it have issues with Simple Tab Groups). Pulse does it natively and really well, so I'm happy with it.

I used Tree Style Tab but I didn't like having to change the userChrome.css to make it streamlined (i.e. hiding the tab bar), while Pulse does it natively and really well. I do have an extension for tab groups that imitates Vivaldi's tab workspaces though, not sure if those will conflict. (If you're curious, it's called Simple Tab Groups.)

Edit: There's also the issue of Mozilla calling the editable userChrome.css a legacy feature, which kinda worries me about its possible removal. Pulse having vertical tabs as a native feature skips that.

Misread it as "sex with self-driving cars" and was disappointed it's not that.

Firefox still doesn't have vertical tabs which I've found really useful for my workflow right now, so I use a fork called Pulse. Don't want to use any extensions for it when Pulse and other forks do it natively.

The Billet Labs cooler block stuff actually made me go "what the fuck" and got me to unsubscribe. That's not just some error you can cut out or some funny joke, everything about that was something that Billet Labs could likely prove monetary damages for in the worst case scenario.

They should've done what they did with the YouTube ads and told the user to block this ad using their browser as well.

I use Waydroid on EndeavourOS just to run Apple Music. Waydroid basically virtualises an x86 build of Android and uses containers rather than emulating an entire ARM device. The most difficult thing was getting firewalld to let Waydroid access the internet.
