Developers decide what platforms they want to support based on what resources they have available and the kinds of users they wish to target. They create versions of software where they expect to garner enough market share or based on what gives them the most return on investment. Even at a 4% market share, Linux is still pretty much an edge case for many companies, though I agree that a corporation like Samsung can absolutely afford to make their software available on Linux

Yup, using the bang !w anywhere within the search

That’s something I’d like to find too. I’ve been using Textra Pro for years, but I have yet to find a FOSS alternative that rivals it

Not OP, but two issues I’ve encountered:

• No DRM means some streaming sites don’t work. But I can easily hop over to another browser for that
• There is no global zoom to increase webpage size on all websites. This can be resolved by installing an extension

Otherwise, Zen has been amazing. I fully switched from Firefox 5 months ago, no regrets

Canada does have Interac E-Transfer, which is already used as a free alternative to the likes of PayPal. It is also possible to use e-transfer for business transactions. An e-transfer system similar to Alipay where you scan a QR code to pay would be quite handy to make payments at stores. Would it be possible for credit card merchants to use e-transfer for their transactions?

I have no mouth, and I must clean

Portugal doesn’t have a property based golden ticket visa as of October 2023 due to concerns that it was affecting real estate prices in cities like Lisbon and Porto. But you can still donate 250K euro in cash or invest 500K euro in a local business that leads to job creation (among a couple other investment options). Another option for Portugal is the D7 visa, which requires you to live in the country 6 months the year for 5 years, but requires foreign income of 10K euro per year. Either way, after 5 years, you’re eligible to apply for citizenship.

60% of the time it works every time

Unfortunately those aren’t safe either :/ The article mentions how several subs for the game Luigi’s Mansion got banned, even though they have nothing you do with Mangione

+1 for Libby. Also shout out to Z-Library, Library Genesis, and the Internet Archive for all the book epubs and pdfs you can find there

Try FitoTrack. I’ve been using it for awhile, measurements are very close to what Strava records. It does lack the social element though

Fun fact: the solar roof debuted on the Prius for the 2010 model year, in 2009

An unpopular opinion I actually agree with! Part of the issue in my opinion is that houses are no longer made in ways that are designed for their environments. In the past, houses in warm areas would use large balconies or awnings to shelter the windows from the sun, which is where the greatest share of heat would come from. Also, high ceilings and transom windows would allow hot air to dissipate. Courtyards would serve a similar function. All of these provided natural ways for homes to cool without having to use ACs.

Now that ACs are prevalent, house design has deteriorated to what’s cheapest to build, without regard to climate. This leads to higher AC usage to cool energy inefficient homes, all while pumping heat into the atmosphere that makes the temperature worse.

I believe ACs should only be used as a last resort. We should design our homes based on where they are, so that ACs are unnecessary except during the worst of heat waves. There are plenty of other ways to stay cool that don’t involve ACs, so let’s exhaust those before we turn down the thermostats.

I’m using it currently on a Pixel 7 Pro on GrapheneOS on Android 15 with no issues if that helps

Perhaps right click on the sidebar -> disable compact mode? I haven’t had any issues moving tabs between windows, but then again I keep the sidebar persistent

Perhaps Ladybird once it’s released?

I also recommend Magic Earth, I find the navigation to be more reliable than OSMAnd+

If you’re looking for a reasonable FOSS swipe keyboard, try AnySoftKeyboard. While still a step below the non FOSS keyboards I’ve used before like Swiftkey, it gets the job done reasonably well

Or simply Do Not Disturb
