FINALLY someone gets this. I don't care about the "premium look" whatever that means, I just don't want my phone to break when I accidentally drop it. Which is why I always put a case on my phone

In fact, I'm pretty sure phone manufacturers started putting glass on the back of phones specifically to make them less durable so that customers buy a new phone sooner

Meanwhile my school still uses Chrome v109 since that was the last version that supported Windows 8

Every time I need to look up what an HTTP code means I check this website

I'm pretty sure the requirements are so high because (at least for now) the AI that will process the screenshots and search queries will run locally

Yeah it won't be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires

  1. 256 GB of SSD
  2. 16 GB of RAM
  3. An "NPU" which AFAIK most computers don't have
  4. Windows 11

~~But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it's actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it's gonna be entirely local (which I don't), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it's database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor~~ edit: damn I've read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks

Windows OS: "We have a brand new feature called Windows Recall that you might like!"

Guy: "Oh boy! What does it do?"

Windows: "It helps you find anything you've seen on your PC by using clues you give or by letting you scroll through your past activity!"

Guy: "Wow! How does this tech work?"

Windows: "Our Windows AI constantly takes pictures of your screen and saves all that data"

I prefer tabs because they aren't consistent

I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I'm working on someone else's codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it's tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars

Uses spaces instead of tabs.

If god exists then he is a disappointment to me. Bro "loves us" and all of that, but he won't do anything when

  • people are dying in wars
  • companies are exploiting people for profit, especially in developing countries
  • north korea exists
  • his "followers" are spreading hate against [insert minority here] in his name
  • etc., you get the point

I've wanted to install an extension from outside addons.mozilla.org, but Firefox didn't let me do it

So I've did a small research and looks like there are 3 ways to sideload extensions, but all of them suck

  1. Using FF Developer Edition

In the Dev Edition you can set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config, but the problem is that the Dev Edition isn't as stable as standard FF

  1. Temporarily load the extension

In about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox you can temporarily sideload extensions, but they will be removed next time you open FF, which is annoying

  1. Modify FF code

Lastly, I found this script which modifies the FF code, but this can break things so I don't want to use it

I'm really annoyed that Mozilla gets to decide which extensions I can install. So... what's the best way to sideload extensions?

Edit: thanks everyone, I'm now using a FF fork (Librewolf) which lets me sideload extensions after disabling xpinstall.signatures.required
