I'm confident his announcement to "leave social media" was an April Fools' joke.

Seems like a large link collection for now. I like that the documentation is worked on however, it's probably Nix' biggest weakness atm.

My recommendation? No. Don't.

I'm an ex Windows user, current Linux and Mac user. Keyboard shortcuts on Linux are much closer to Windows conventions compared to macOS. I wouldn't recommend using a Mac keyboard with Linux. I'd only recommend it if you want to use both Linux and macOS with the same keyboard (you will be happier in this case, because using macOS with a Windows keyboard sucks, vice versa).

If you don't like the Windows key design, get a keyboard with a custom one.

They can't possibly judge what is trivial to achieve and what's a serious, very hard problem.

While this chart certainly shows how dominant mastodon.social in the Fediverse is, I like this chart. It also shows how diverse the Fediverse is. For any other social network this graph would be a simple circle. For the Fediverse it shows 38 different servers, and apart from mastodon.social, the distribution seems quite fair.

Very good!

Time to ungoogle my phone once again. Did it before, reverted it in a stupid move to try out Monster Hunter "Go"; should've never done it in the first place. Bye, bye, Google. Go fuck yourself.

It's not like they'd develop a new engine for iOS. They already have one which can now be used for iOS as well -- but not everywhere.

It's not in the linked article, but it was part of it in the beta release notes. Now it's on the dedicated Android release notes page ():

  • Firefox for Android can now be set as the default PDF reader.
  • Firefox for Android now supports enabling Global Privacy Control. With this feature, Firefox informs websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold. This feature is enabled by default in private browsing mode and can be enabled in normal browsing in Settings → Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Tell websites not to share & sell data toggle.
  • To reduce user fingerprinting information and the risk of some website compatibility issues, the OS version is now always reported as "Android 10" in Firefox for Android's User-Agent string.

Should I approach the team about this?

Yes, certainly. It sounds like some/most members of the team don't understand the stylesheet architecture of your project and it's vital to sort that out ASAP. The more time passes, the harder it will get to get everything back on track.

Try to avoid finger-pointing and this shouldn't be a very hard conversation (assuming they aren't super stubborn).


As a side note, the fact that you first address this issue on the Fediverse and not in your team makes me think that maybe there are some underlying issues regarding trust and open communication. You might want to further look into that. Take it with a large grain of salt though. I don't really know anything about your team so it's likely that I overdramatize the situation.

Personally, I'm not interested in the type of posts you mention. However, I don't mind it. In general I think it's great to tell the world if you ditch Windows for Linux, because it shows other (Windows) users that they can do it, too.

Though I have to agree that for a dedicated Linux community, it doesn't add too much value. If I think a post is a bad fit for the community, I vote it down.

I'm a semi-recent NixOS user and one thing that bothers me since the beginning is that when I change the Gnome theme (between light and dark), Firefox doesn't adapt. The system theme in Firefox is enabled, but it always displays the light theme, no matter what theme is selected in Gnome.

Internet search, including searching through NixOS discourse, packages, options and Nixpkgs repo surfaced a solution.

Any ideas or tips how to achieve system theme integration for Firefox on NixOS?

uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don't take donations. So my list would roughly contain:

  • Organic Maps
  • Thunderbird
  • Internet Archive
  • Codeberg

I'd like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it's not possible to only support Firefox development.

This is my custom layout for the ZSA Moonlander keyboard.

The laout is based on the Bone layout. Bone is an optimized version of the Neo2 layout. Bone is created with English and German text corpus and originally provides different layers for letters, special characters, navigation, math symbols and even greek letters (for math mostly I guess).

I had to adapt the layout to the orthogonal arrangement of the Moonlander keys as well to my personal preferences. Oryx and the Moonlander do not support Unicode output, so I didn't replicate the math symbol nor greek layers.

The layout features

  1. The base layout of Bone, with custom meta/control keys and means to switch layers.
  2. The special chars layer, based on the Bone layout. I added some macros to input typographicly correct symbols on Linux.
  3. Classic layer: Qwerty based to allow other people use your keyboard and play games (WASD etc.).
  4. A “control” layer with F-keys, LED controls and a num block.

My layout is created to use with Linux and the Swiss German keyboard layout in the OS. Since it's based on Bone, it's useful to mainly write English and German texts as well as programming and math formulas.

If you don't use Linux or ch-DE, it can easily be adapted.
