ehm I mean in those months you are semi-active here
yeah, i don't bother regularly checking in to the general forum anymore, albeit maybe sometimes for a day or two after a bigger update... but i do keep an eye on this thread, for... reasons... heehee. I noticed you've been active in the thread for the latest snapshot, & i admire your energy level in being able to do it, but for better or worse, i lost that energy a fair while ago now... which sometimes feels weird to me, given how important v the browser & v the forum were to me for so many years since early 2015... but tbh, now that feels like ancient history. oh well.
@npro said in Arching Floorpians:
thanks a bunch
you're most welcome, ofc. if anything i posted was of some use for you, then i'm pleased.
@npro said in Arching Floorpians:
never happy with any of those 3 poor implementations
until the day i discovered
tst
, i felt quite positive about v's options for tabs, because it was better than all the alternative browsers. however, that day,tst day
haha, really opened my eyes. that was also when my several years of jumping back & fwd fromnightly
to v tonightly
to v began... every time i came back to v i soon badly missed the sophistication of tst. then, ofc later, once i foundsidebery
, it was truly game over. and now, with sidebery in floorp... i'm back to being like a pig in shit again, as used to be the contentment i felt all those earlier years in v. -

Yeah I broke my absence lol. I get notifications in my Feeds about new Snapshots and usually I check them for not missing something that could be important, due to some friends and family members using Vivaldi (stable) because of me, and as you probably know that is the biggest mistake one can make as when something breaks you are then to be blamed . In that case the new Chromium menu attrocity raised a big red flag. Also if I find something relatively easily during that short period of "test" I write about it, like this one , but it's up to others/devs to see/report them, these days I prefer to spend some time on KDE and its bugs instead.
I still like V's devs and Jon obviously for their work and vision and for the many years of joy they have provided me, but I wish they could focus more on the browser and less on Mail and Calendar (every snapshot contains dozens of M & C issues for years already).
Also, inwardly I am kinda still wishing/waiting for them to ditch the Chromium engine finally after all that bs that is happening to them due to their choice. -
@npro said in Arching Floorpians:

yes, agreed, & for me this [apart from the sad tabs management status ofc] really ended up sucking the fun out of v updates [like Count Vlad sucks the blood from his victims, perhaps, teehee?] for me. all those years of eager anticipation for the next snappie [& the various running jokes in the forum about them] were pretty much killed once the long-awaited-by-some M&C arrived, & it began dawning on me that most of the time, most ongoing snappie changelogs were going to be entirely dominated by M&C crap... yawn!

I admit to being in a stormy situation as I have been struggling quite a bit lately with Floorp's future direction.

@ybjrepnfr Time we move on to a more "lasting" thread lol https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/59536/i-cheat-on-vivaldi-with-firefox

Baah, Floorp has so many nice things already integrated and which are such a pain to manually add to/enable in FFN, so I'm back to it . (I missed those Lepton menu icons and little switches)

in FFN
i really want july to hurry up & get here, coz more & more i feel a bit left behind with the old ESR 115 base of
floorp
, when Nightly gets lovely things like this:https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/127.0a1/releasenotes/#note-790132
127.0a1 / New / Bug 1890299
Starting with Firefox 127, Nightly users now have the ability to translate selections of text from the right-click context menu, rather than only being able to translate the entire web page.so...

Wonder what browser has supported that for a long time?

@TbGbe i don't talk to windozing horizontallers. icky icky ick!
otoh, i'm willing to indulge horizontalling penguinistas, coz they're at least half way there & so might still have a chance of redemption...
-
@TbGbe for the record, your taunt intrigued me, so i fired up snappie to test if its current contextural translator is any less useless than all the other times. i tried four different fediverse posts/toots, all different languages. it failed 100% of the time... again. this time it misassigned all as being africaans, then sulked with an error message.
still, at least v has its fab infinite nesting tst, its multiple pip [each of which can go fullscreen], its cname-uncloaking, its native wayland, its... oh, no, wait...

From my testing (Vivaldi local forums), you need to select at least five words - of course more is better.

That's OK. I'll still talk to you

@npro said in Arching Floorpians:
so I'm back to it
https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=12128
FireDragon was rebased to Floorp, meaning we now profit from its interesting feature set.
I dislike Garuda Linux; it's not my cup of tea at all, but this news is quite interesting. Floorp's campaign for world domination expands further...
-
@TbGbe each test comprised >>5 words, being one or sometimes two complete paragraphs. even when i still loved v, its translator was frequently just terrible... & i know from the plethora of forum posts on it that i'm not alone in that view.
when are ya gonna be a penguinista again? how can you bear hideous windoze? enjoying all the ads?
-
@ybjrepnfr said in Arching Floorpians:

What are ADS? Using Ublock still.
I'm waiting to see the new, shiny (delayed) POP_OS. -

yeah, i know; you've been hiding behind that story for mega-yonks now but all this time you could have been enjoying another lovely penguin, rather than windoze. like someone recently said... icky icky ick.

huh? how can a browser extension help with ads in start menu & file explorer? on dad's pc i've even seen them in the system tray. magnificent work, microshit!

@ybjrepnfr said in Arching Floorpians:

Not here.
Although I do see MS Office being pushed when updating. Maybe you should show him OOSU10.exe -
@TbGbe holy cow, i just realised your local time! i see your insomnia / nightowlness has not abated, over all these years [um, i mean, weeks, coz i'm only noo here].

@ybjrepnfr problems.
