I don’t think we are the target audience for those, though, as weird as that sounds. More likely intended to be sold to less tech savvy people who are willing to pay for the convenience of some company handling their security.

Look I know it’s fun to make fun of the French…

I think it’s rather that they’re still forced to use Webkit everywhere but the EU and financially it probably doesn’t make sense to port Gecko to iOS when worldwide iOS has pretty small marketshare. iOS only holds over 50% marketshare in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In most EU countries it’s under 30% marketshare. Android literally dominates in all of Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia, in other words, far too many countries to list, most of which iOS has less than 10% marketshare.

Why would you go through so much trouble for arguably such a small slice of the world’s iOS market when the majority of the iOS market will still be forced to use Webkit?

I mean that’s moreso on Apple than it is on Mozilla. They force the use of Webkit.

Very cool and hopefully that means the M4 isn’t far behind!

Not the cheapest, but I quite like Njalla.

How do you connect to the internet? If it’s cable internet or something similar and you don’t have a static IP address, reboot your router until you have a new IP address and then try making a new throwaway email and using that to make a new reddit account.

But really you should just ditch reddit and if you want to view it without logging in or interacting that is always still possible.

I don’t really have an option. I have four monitors and four video outputs, and only one output is HDMI. In fact, three of the cables are DP to HDMI because I don’t have any DP capable monitors. So yeah.

Some weird quirk of its protocol basically fubars it.

Seems like this would be something to be producing logs on for community developers in hopes of finding a solution though. Could you maybe point me to the info you found on this? I’d be interested to see if there’s any timeline that anyone is working toward in fixing it.

And if editing fstab yourself is too daunting, there is also gnome-disk-utility which has a nice GUI for setting auto-mounts that edits fstab for you.

Good suggestion, but I just checked and my Wake-on-LAN settings are already disabled.

That sounds less like misconfigured DHCP and more like the wonky setup is preventing DHCP handshakes happening consistently, but could be several different issues, really.

What bothers me more is that the laptop doesn’t receive an IP address from my DHCP server over WiFi, while my wife’s Windows PC and my phone do. But that’s more likely due to a misconfigured DHCP server than the OS.

Do you have static DHCP IPs being handed out or do you mean it’s just not getting an IP from the DHCP pool? Because for static IPs with machines that sometimes connect via hardwire and sometimes connect via WiFi I always make sure to provision two separate IPs with the MAC addresses for ethernet and WiFi each assigned to the different IPs.

I have similar issues with even edited bluetooth config files occasionally being overwritten with a system update. Suddenly the way I had it set on purpose by editing the config file has been reverted back to the way I don’t want it.

They also go great with dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Screen blanking, or rather screen blanking not functioning properly.

I have literally spent 9 months researching every possible angle and even going as far as buying some of those Edid Emulator passthroughs for each monitor to see if those helped. Tried disabling the Kscreen manager in KDE. Tried manually controlling it via CLI and DPMS. Tried different mice and keyboards to see if it was my inputs waking it up. Tried making sure all the monitors had their auto-select input option disabled. Nope, my monitors blank for a second or two and then unblank immediately. The issue is present in both X11 and Wayland.

I have had to jump through hoops to enable a screen saver in wayland. I have to turn my monitors off manually every night. It’s really frustrating. It seems like a really simple thing, but it’s like, literally all I want is consistent screen blanking and I have spent the better part of 9 months on and off trying to find a fucking solution to no avail. I still have no explanation for why they wake instantly, they don’t seem to be triggered by anything on the system, based on the logs.

I even made a post asking for help regarding it here on Lemmy about six months ago. No luck.

It drives me up the wall because I’m actually really good at researching and finding solutions for problems I’ve run into online. This one mystifies and eludes me and while seeming minor I feel like is a genuine pain in my ass.

Related: Have an old laptop running a server OS with no GUI and have no ability to disable the monitor since technically there isn’t any monitor rendering set up, so all commands to screen blank the monitor fail because there’s technically no monitor to turn off according to the system.

I’m trying not to waste my time getting all worked up

Too late, you’ve done nothing but rant in this thread. Get over yourself.

He’s a doctor of economics, he has a PhD. He’s not exactly a tech bro by any stretch.

The paper I linked is literally an example of him making something. Unless you somehow erroneously think that research papers aren’t entitled to copyright protection, which, surprise, you’re wrong.

This isn’t even worth replying to. Get your head out of your ass, man. Plenty of people who make things that are copyrightable promote shortening and amending copyright, including author Cory Doctorow, the man who coined the term “enshittification.”

I’ll quote Mark Hosler of the band Negativland, who made a shitload of art. Negativland was also instrumental in designing early Creative Commons licenses.
