@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

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?

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!

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].

i feel a bit left behind with the old ESR
true that's the "negative" of it, especially for us that are used to "always latest", but it's understandable for a 1-2-man project. Maybe the situation will improve now that Vrovaldi realised how badly they screwed it up with their choice (see menus+UI fiasco) and decide to fork Floorp with the name
β½ Fifaldi
(sponsored by FIFA ofc -no more money issues-) and rebasing it on current gecko/quantum.when Nightly (127) gets
Thing is ESR will jump 8 versions to 123, that's still not enough/edit: phew that was not correct -
Fifaldi
ESR will jump 8 versions to 123
only 123? am i misunderstanding how we should interpret this?:
-
@ybjrepnfr you don't say? . I had the (false) impression it was always jumping 8 versions apparently, that's really great!
ESR has taught me how it feels being a Debian user

See you again soon! Thank for your using!
Floorp is almost ready to move to a rapid release basis!
dunno what this means exactly, but feeling potentially excited.
-
@ybjrepnfr Ah, very interesting indeed! Let's hope it is what we think it is . I was already semi excited reading
Floorp 11 is now in maintenance mode.
This means that the development of the next major updates, Floorp 12, Floorp ORIGIN, will begin.
, which I suppose is nothing more than the regular, mid-July, 128 release according to your screenshot, but that quote would drive excitement to another level. It's a bit contradicting/confusing though 15 days earlier saying "the future is uncertain" and now accelerating the pace, but hey it sounds pretty normal for tiny grasshoppers .

Floorp Browser | v11.13.0 Release Notes
Lots of Floorpβs code has been refactored to make the codebase cleaner.
All of Floorpβs content scripts have been rewritten to ESM, and Floorp is in the process of cleaning up its codebase to move from ESR-based to Rapid Release-based.
Later this year, Floorp plans to launch a number of initiatives to help maintain the health of the browser and generate revenue from its software in a way that doesnβt compromise user privacy.
