Arching Floorpians

[ybjrepnfr]

@npro haha, i literally came here to post that same info for you, only to find you're far too fast for me!

surely surely surely we are now allowed to interpret "Firefox's rapid release based Floorp" as what we thought it meant before, ie, we floorpians are going to be enjoying a ff base not an esr base

[npro]

@npro @ybjrepnfr speaking of Fedora, how did you install Floorp there, from Coprs? Did you build it yourself? Used OBS from OpenSUSE? Don't tell me you used... just flatpaks!?

BLOAT !!!

from Coprs

no not that. i'm scared of it tbh, don't really understand it yet, feels like the wild west, much worse than aur imo [& less searchable too].

my initial installation of floorp in lappy's kfedora was indeed flatpak, which made me feel dirty, but seemed the easiest option at that time. recently though i realised i had overlooked a better option that i'm much more comfy with [more like how i installed ffn]. i just:

• d/l the tarball & hash files from https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases,
• verify integrity,
• extract the files from the archive
• move it all to /opt/floorp/
• give myself ownership so that updates work
• create my custom desktop launcher, including my preferred firejail prefixes
• voila

Awesome thing, KDE's new and promising Marknote app can read Vrovladi's exported Notes (.md format) out of the box!

Klevernotes looks even better (the other one is still a bit primitive)

[DoctorG]

@npro Thanks for hint. This is much better.

[ybjrepnfr]

@DoctorG yikes, someone has wandered into our super-secret thread, who does not use either arch or floorp. someone call for security!

[Ayespy]

@ybjrepnfr And just as I was studiously ignoring this thread, someone cried out for security...

[ybjrepnfr]

@Ayespy oh rats . loose lips sink ships. this place leaks like a sieve it seems!

@npro more news today from dev:

u/Surapuyousei Developer 20m ago
I have recently learnt TypeScript and it seems to be better than JavaScript.
Now that npm is available, there will be many features in the future.

it's almost beginning to feel as exciting as those 2015 V days, when there was such a torrent of fab features arriving & improving, & all things seemed possible... & i was still able to hold my nose to accept the chromium base as a reasonable trade-off for the cornucopia of goodies being gifted to us. alas, those days are gone; i care not at all for current focus on mail, & none of the things important to me are of interest to v devs, leadership, & even swathes of the v community it seems. furthermore, the Faustian bargain is now really revealing itself via the mv3 crap. thank goodness i found floorp.

@ybjrepnfr You had not read the Terms of Joke for this Forum Rope: "§13 All Your Secrets Are Ours. All Data Are Ours. All Jokes Are Scanned By Our NI."

And dragons are curious mythical beings, they sniff around, laugh or spit fire.

Hic Sunt Dracones!

PS: Floorp is the transcription of sound a dragon wing makes while flying!

[ybjrepnfr]

@DoctorG now you are scaring me, you big meanie!

[DoctorG]

@ybjrepnfr That's Why I Am Legend.

"§13 All Your Secrets Are Ours. All Data Are Ours. All Jokes Are Scanned By Our NI."

I read it as "All your base belong to us!" - maybe a translation error

[ybjrepnfr]

@TbGbe i presumed she was deliberately riffing off that trope.

@ybjrepnfr yeah I read about it on the blog site, let's hope something good comes out of it.

Moving away from ESR would be an awfully, horribly bad decision. Many serious users cannot bear the rapid changes every month. I hope you will reconsider this carefully.

boo, hiss... noooooooooooo... go away!!!
