@moondawg That there was no human verification of electronic results (which are hackable).

Yaay!

Vivaldi browser merged the simplicity, performance and countless features. One single window contains multiples possibilities to manage your needs.

I'm also sort of a 3D modelling nut mysefl, though more in the architecture and archviz line of work, but still, I've always had this curiosity about 3D printing, especially those new stereolithography destop printers. A few years back I was on the verge of buying one of those from FormLabs or similar myself, but never got to it.

I'm a heavy Blender user, and have also taught some casual Blender workshops in the past, it is pretty rewarding seeing other people take interest on what you love doing.
It is very cool seeing kids take on a more "creative stance", as opposed to the usual consumption-only mentality mobile culture instills these days. Keep it up 🙂

@Pesala said in "The Empire strikes back" – when technology is used for all the wrong reasons:

@mossman Don't you even watch YouTube videos?

Very occasionally, yes.

In fact one of my grievances with Google is that they bought up a number of companies like YouTube and then - totally against my willand without even consulting me - unified all my separate identities on various services they'd acquired just because I tended to post from the same address...

Suddenly all that data was linked and tracked and my privacy had just taken a massive hit.

That was the moment I realised "don't be evil" had become "be evil"!

@GT500

This is an opportunity for those who want to travel and experience a different part of the world while meeting new people . I'm glad that in these connected times, that's still a possibility. Not everyone wants to work from home.

I would gladly apply if I felt that I met the requirements, but c'est la vie.

Reading the transcript from JvT's talk in NO continues to cement my decision to go "all in" with Vivaldi. I was an old Opera user, but my main browser then was Firefox. Later became Chrome and now Vivaldi. I am not anal about open source as some, as this is typed on Windows 10, but free (cost, beer, purpose) is better than recurring paid and open always beats closed. Glad to hear this perspective in the current US toxic political environment.

Good luck and have fun!

Rafa, saludos paisano.

@garussell Vivaldi does not prohibit the use of password managers. It allows the use of every compatible extension. Unfortunately, as there are millions of extensions, it cannot ensure it is compatible with every one. That has to be seen to by the authors of the extensions.

I just want to say that the new History is very useful for me, and helps me a lot. Even though it is new, using it has become integrated in my work making it a "must have" feature for a browser. It is so well thought out, I cannot think of a single needed improvement. Thank you.

I didn't remember Vivaldi was launched just before my birthday.

Happy birthday Vivaldi, and by the way, happy birthday to the april 8th natives !

@NSANE said in It’s time to do the right thing, Microsoft:

@whizzwr: MS was shit in Opera days. I don't want to sound like a shill, but MS has improved very, very much in these last 5 years. UWP is awesome. What they're doing with Windows 10 in general is pretty great and they're enabling a lot of people (like myself) to have a free Windows license if we're students or run a business.

Since they don't make the most money out of the OS (they're mostly cloud now), I'm predicting that they might considering bridging Linux some day, or even make a fork of it. They already have VS Code which is Open Source.

I support Jon regardless! I'm a fan 🙂

Microsoft is only 'hugging up' to Linux because of the amount of Linux clients on their Azure program, which when Steve Ballmer was still in charge, 30% of their clients were Linux ones. Surely that's grown by now & that's the sole reason why today's CEO in Satya Nadella to come out & say 'We Love Linux'.

Of course he does, now that Ballmer is gone, more clients has signed up & we all love money. If Nadella truly 'loves' Linux, then he'd port the EOL OS's over for Linux devs to fork & patch/keep up to date. There would still be a market for XP, if only there were ways to fix the now 200+ missed patches that W7 & Vista received.

Anyone W10 user with a NVIDIA graphics card had best have Secunia PSI installed, as the latest bundle includes 'node.js' (a LInux Foundation product), like Java (if installed) & Flash Player, node.js is a plug in that needs to be kept up to date. The new NVIDIA driver bundle includes a version that's 3-4 releases behind. By chance, Microsoft bought themselves a Platinum membership to the Linux Foundation just months after Windows users were being shipped outdated Linux Foundation software.

If anything, Microsoft is simply using Linux to gain more control over Windows users. Windows 7 was Microsoft's best OS, and the pinnacle of Steve Ballmer's career. SInce then, it's been a mess, hundreds of millions of dollars were poured into Windows 8, while the World's #1 OS to this day doesn't have a real SP2. If anyone thinks that XP diehards were a problem, wait until 2020 when W7 reaches EOL, there'll be those running the OS for easily 2-3 more years & still have a 25% or higher market share after then.

@Charm_S :- I also note that you can be logged into the forum in one vivaldi account and log into webmail using a different account. That's contrary to other comments elsewhere that say when you login to one, your logged into both.

Thx yeeli 🙂

@dLeon: I wasn't there of course, but either email or sync or both could have been previewed to someone at some meeting. Both are sufficiently far along to show to people, just so you don't let them play with it and get in trouble. And I think there's little doubt both will be in 2.x. (In fact if I had to guess, I would say adding email would in and of itself cause a whole-number version increment.)

AWESOME! I can't believe I will meet Jon!

Thank you Team Vivaldi for preserving i_ri' account.
Thank You Gaelle for your recent solution has i_ri signed-in.

@sushubh said in Vivaldi’s Blog gets a new look:

@sushubh: Complete webpage updates on posting a comment. Not very cool in 2017.

We're working on it. This will be improved very soon. Thanks for the feedback

Fixed!

Just a quick update.... the problem appears to be that Vivaldi is compiled with a newer version of gcc. The version I currently have access to is gcc 4.4.7 which does not include libstdc++.so.6.0.16.
