  • Infinite scrolling is optional and also a feature the majority of users (not hyper specific tech nerds) want. If we are to have any hope of bringing the average social media user onto these platforms, we have to design it for them. Most of the addictiveness comes from the algorithm (lemmy lacks a personalized one), not necessarily the infinite scrolling itself

    Nativoids desperately trying to install a broken dependency for a package by compiling the dependency from source, but it itself needs 2 another dependency versions not in the package manager repos, so you finally dump a random prebuilt binary from sourceforge that secretly will beam all of your login tokens straight to netanyahu himself







  • If Firefox used a more modern Material UI and fixed some of the gestures (the expanding website menu makes no sense, it doesn’t follow your finger) it would be much more appealing. As it stands now chromium based browsers naturally use standard material components and feel a lot nicer to use on my phone.

    When I scroll in Firefox, there’s quite a lot of stutter and it struggles to maintain 120 fps.

    If any 1 of these 2 issues were fixed I’d switch to Firefox in a heartbeat, ublock origin is great
