I really wish I could recommend Libreoffice but I have mixed experiences with it. Spreadsheet is really good, I can only praise it. Writer is fine for basic documents but I gave up updating my CV with it - too frustrating. Impress is so far from PowerPoint that I recommend finding an alternative.

Hexadecimal, not hexidecimal

Amazing that it works so well, nice!

However I can’t help thinking usability improvements are urgent. The key one being how you need to bring up the menu with a 2 finger slide up, and then click again on the right button to get the list of apps, which is not even user friendly. Then, clicking on the top right window button to close the app, which you seemed to have difficulties to click on (with good reasons).

Finally you drag and drop a lot, can’t you click on the music file directly without opening the app in parallel?

I can see you’re not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

Strangely enough, that’s what I thought for a long time but not this time. Removing the lines I saw makes absolutely no sense unless you’re selling users data, which I strongly oppose to.

I’ve started to use librewolf, unsure if this is a good idea.

It’s been a bumpy road. I have strong memories of Gnome devs explaining to users how wrong they were to dislike Nautilus’s awful spatial mode. And when that guy refused to implement a switch off option because users were wrong to ask for it.

Now really, it’s quite functional once you’ve tweaked with gnome-tools and added vital extensions. You also have to remember useless stuff such as “Video” means “Totem”. I’ll just never understand why they don’t really care about sane defaults.

Did they just remove their comments?

Talking from a usability standpoint it’s gotten much better. It’s still slow to open the app but the search got much more efficient.

Sorry I just realised I was wrong and I did not have the menu bar by default. I don’t really notice it anymore…

Are you talking about the 2 bars at the top of the window? If yes, I find them more useful than the used space. Probably a matter of taste

I kinda disagree. Not just for the technical solution that is supposed to enable a fairly good level of privacy but also because I tend to trust ECB employees and ways of working as I’ve done a few projects with them.

Musk has openly supported right-wing politicians such as Trump and Meloni in Italy

Not right-wing, far right. Or fascists. Even though Meloni is much more coherent than Trump so it’s difficult to put both of them in the same basket.

They did a poor job advertising it…

Same as Firefox. You go to your Android settings and set Firefox as password manager. No need to go to the computer.

On android, there’s a 4 second lag to get the fingerprint reader ready, 0 with Firefox.

I’m not going to switch from Firefox anytime soon but it’s super easy to export passwords and the Firefox password manager works for any apps on Android.

You can (and probably should) backup your passwords. Same goes for any hosted solution.

Firefox password manager is brilliant, my move to Bitwarden wasn’t worth it and I regret it.

It does work with apps on Android, you just need to replace the default system password manager with it. Although my bank does use a complicated password system that cannot be used by password managers.

I migrated to Bitwarden from Firefox a few months ago and I regret it as it’s slower and inconvenient while not adding any major features. So yes, use a password manager and the one provided by Firefox is perfect for almost everyone.

A lot of websites in France have done the same for the past couple of years. Including Allociné, me ex-go-to source of information for movies and movie theatre schedule. Result: I have blocked those websites and I prefer pirating.
