Whaaaat? Damn.

Nowadays I tend to feel fed up with Android and switching to iOS crosses my mind sometimes, but the more I hear about iOS, the more I appreciate Android.

Seriously, WTF?! A web browser is a pretty essential tool, I can't believe a real Firefox version cannot be installed.

I guess, my long term solution will be some Android-fork.

Plus it hides the nasty stuff you leave behind, when you don't know how to operate a toilet brush.

What do you mean? How does Firefox behave on iOS? There is no extension support, or what? (I've never used iOS.)

Wow. Just wow. This is such an eye-opener. I mean, with all the comments here.

I had no idea this was a common thing! Up until now I thought only my girlfriend was like this.

Also, this makes me understand a Christmas present I received many years ago. I never understood the meaning of it and never knew from whom I received it and why (so I couldn't ask about it), it was just under the Christmas tree next to a book I received. This "gift" was just a note on a piece of very thin wooden sheet, it said "Is it necessary to find a solution to every problem? Can't we just enjoy the problem for a little bit?"

Now it kinda makes sense, although I still don't know why I received it. Yes, I am a very solution-oriented person, but I'm also very introverted, back then I didn't have a girlfriend, I had no friends, I didn't even talk with my family much, and honestly, I couldn't even really find solutions to problems in the first place. I have no clue what made someone give that to me.

Smartwatch.

I did have a regular watch back in highschool, and all it gave was the time and date. Now that I can look at my phone or my computer screen, it would be of little benefit.

My smartwatch comes with a step counter, which gives a little goal for every day. Plus it shows notifications from my phone. It makes it so much more comfortable that I don't have to pull my phone out for every single notification. Just having a look at my watch, and I know if it's important or not.

Manjaro, because it's rolling release and it's built on Arch, only the necessary stuff is installed (including a desktop environment), you can set it up with just a few clicks, and it works out of the box, and even proprietary GPU drivers are easily installable with mhwd. Stable and reliable.

In case anything breaks, there's quick help on their forum, which (when it happened to me once) outperformed customer support of proprietary software.

It's been my daily driver for almost 8 years without any major issue.

So in short, robustness, rolling release, simplicity, community.

Edit: I have to add, my use case is for a desktop PC for software design/development + a little gaming.

You mean, *LineageOS devices.

It happened to me countless times that I was suffering with a task for hours and hours and hours, then finally found what the problem was. Then a few weeks later, facing the same issue again somewhere else, I only remembered the fact that I had that same issue weeks ago, but I completely forgot what the solution was.

Weirdly enough, sometimes it's indeed a lifelong experience and I can remember the solution forever. I don't really know what it depends on.

I know this isn't a popular view, but as for me, if Google makes the user experience worse (or blocks services entirely) for Firefox, I'll just stop using those services. I'll find alternatives for the essentials, and those that aren't essential... well, hello, extra free time.

It was a thing of the past, when different browsers rendered websites differently, thus some services didn't work in certain browsers.

Nowadays all browsers are pretty advanced, they render websites more or less precisely according to standards, so it's really not hard to make a website work in all major browsers. So if a service doesn't work in the browser of my choice (whether it's intentional or not), then that service sucks and isn't worth my time messing with it.

Spoiler alert: they're dumb as a rock.

Sure, it's not really nice to generalize, and respect to those who actually are able to use their brains, I know there are a few. But the majority is either dumb or corrupted or both. They believe everything they see on TV or billboards without a doubt.

We had that in Europe too, but I don't see these anymore.

In my opinion it's not useless at all. Lemmy marks the comments as edited, but that's just to show the fact that it was edited. But if you add the reason why you edited, that makes it a whole lot more transparent.

Sometimes it could happen that I see a great comment full of great ideas from a great user, and it could be lengthy as well. Then later I go back to see the reactions, and I see the comment was edited. If I don't know what was edited on it, then I have to read the whole comment again. But if it's clearly stated that only typos were fixed, then I don't bother with re-reading the comment.
