No, it’s time for people to finally get their asses in gear and fucking ditch Chromium-based browsers for Firefox-based ones.

2·2 days agoI upgraded to a 5700X3D for €200 two years ago
Same here (except mine was about $150 for a used? one from Aliexpress).
I’m slightly tempted by FOMO for the 5800X3D too, but realistically it’s a single-digit-percentage difference and is definitely not worth it.

Vivaldi or Brave.you’re part of the problem, so don’t.FTFY.
Every Blink-based browser contributes to Google’s harmful hegemony over web standards.
When you figure it out, send me a copy so I can use it as a copypasta too.
I also have one like that somewhere.

Technology@lemmy.world•Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch itEnglish
2·4 days agoI found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you’ll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.
That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I’m not sure there even is such a thing as a “small” color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.
(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

4·4 days agothe larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light
To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn’t mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn’t legitimate.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there no hard forks of Firefox, Chromium, WebKit, or other browsers?
5·4 days agoPossibly more complicated than OSes.
(Depends on the browser, and possibly what counts as the scope of the “OS.” For example, you could be comparing GNU/Linux+wayland+KDE to Netscape 1.0, or you could be comparing modern Firefox to QDOS.)
Remember, a modern web browser contains a Javascript VM, which arguably makes it an OS in and of itself.

Technology@lemmy.world•Sony/Yoti reporting users to authorities for using GrapheneOSEnglish
2·4 days agoWe can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.
Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.
Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Got my Steam Controller guys! Ain't she a beaut 🤩
5·5 days ago- It’s a full controller, no “only one joystick” like the 2015 model.
This is 16-bit controller slander.

I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with “UwU” in the name.

Technology@lemmy.world•Electric cars became more affordable across much of the world in 2025 — except the U.SEnglish
2·8 days agoI’ve got a BIOS ROM chip sitting here on my desk waiting to be flashed with Libreboot as we speak.
How sad that you’re so desperately grasping at straws in order to simp for corporations.
Vitamix makes a higher end version of their blender that provides a sound deadening enclosure for the whole thing, complete with thick rubber gaskets. It’s pretty effective and costs about 2000.
Even with a brushless motor, a standard Vitamix (e.g. a 5200) is definitely not quiet! It doesn’t help that the ice (or other hard ingredient) hitting the side of the container is loud in and of itself.
It’s a shame the enclosure apparently adds over $1500 to the cost.























On one hand, the jack looks too far outboard for that, but on the other hand we don’t see the top of it so it could plausibly be behind the tire.
I think it’s just not drawn all that well.
