I'm not surprised it won't be an electric Maverick, I don't think they're ready to make a new version, and the current chassis I don't think would work for a BEV, though I'm surprised they haven't made a PHEV version, as the chassis is shared with the Escape IIRC which has a PHEV version or at least had one.

I wish they'd make an extended cab version of the Maverick, but I suppose the inability to keep up with demand is a large part of why they haven't.

Are you talking why for the user, or why it was developed? The main reason it exists is that System 76 like the Gnome desktop, but didn't like stuff Gnome was doing, so they decided to make their own version from scratch in Rust. For a user, I don't think there's any real compelling reason to use it, especially not right now, unless you love Rust, or have the same feelings about Gnome that S76 did.

I've been running it on my Asahi linux for a bit over a week, and while it comes off feeling a bit bare bones, I've had no stability issues despite it being an alpha, in fact all issues I've had are minor, in fact the biggest issues come from Asahi Linux, not Cosmic.

Thanks, should've know that was the problem. Meh, no matter, wired is easily an option.

I think the browser issues are just Firefox, I suspect it isn't playing nicely with Wayland or they haven't figured it out, as tabs aren't draggable, but there's a move tab menu choice. Also right click doesn't work right, I forgot to mention that, right clicking on a link opens in a new tab and switches you to it, even if'n you don't have that on. As to the keyboard, the layouts section is completely missing in Cinnamon's keyboard menu, and some research online came back that there's no way to change the layout, apparently it was overlooked by the Wayland project.

 

Seeing as how I don't like either Gnome or KDE, though I did give KDE a try, I decided to switch to Cinnamon. Yes, that picture looks odd, I'm short on monitors that'll fit on the space I have left on my desk, so I'm using an old Dell with a 4:3 ration thanks to an HDMI to VGA converter. Some how there's dust in the display though, which is really annoying. Not much to say, if'n you've used Linux Mint, this should look rather familiar, it's just lightly customized at this point, it'll get more, and it works as you'd expect. Yes, this is the X11, and you're supposed to use Wayland. Funny thing about that, this is rock solid, whereas with Wayland I had a bunch of silly problems, can't drag tabs in Firefox, menu glitches, and no keyboard customization. General problems are minor, boot is real slow, I mean real slow, and Sat's update broke wireless, but I'm only feet from my gateway, so wired it is. Overall this works real nice, basically Mint running on an M1 iMac.

Indeed, this would be nice to see. For me, the problem is really that LightBurn is over kill, for a cheap basic machine, you really don't need half of what it offers. Heck, I'd love to see an Android software for lasers, and am surprised that hasn't happened yet.

This, it seems like they forgot the original intention as shown in DS9, it's not an official organization nor anything approaching it, it's basically just a long standing group carving hiding in Starfleet justifying doing what they want by pointing to a paragraph in the Constitution... Sovereign Citizens with phasers and photon torpedoes anyone?

This, and it's a really smart decision for both, VW has been struggling on the software side, and Rivian is already offering custom software solutions to fleet buyers of their step vans, so now their software people get more work, and Rivian gets more money.

I'm not real sure how she is on policies, I rarely see anything about her in the news, but even if she's not great now, the bigger question is can she learn, and this would be a good proving ground for that.

While I am concerned with Biden's performance, but a debate really has little to do with his actual job, so I'm not real worried about his performance. That said, it prolly wouldn't be a bad idea to get her more involved, let her flex her skills in front of voters and such, that way if he does need to step down before or after the election, the voters know his replacement already, and what she can do.

 

I'm getting an alert that BitWarden needs a new permission on my devices, but can't figure out how to do that, clicking on the alert simply opens Firefox and I can't find anything in settings or add ons, so how does one do this?

 

Have to give the person who created this credit for his scene choices, they did a great job of mining Star Trek's cheesieness.

 

Which is a shame as it's a really nice fork of Firefox. That picture doesn't do it justice, you can see the three row tab bar that expands only if'n there's enough tabs, nor the hide away bookmarks toolbar.

So why the thumbs down? Well, for starters it ate all my settings, I closed it, realized I'd forgotten to do something, reopened it, and default. If that were it, that wouldn't be so bad, but while installed Firefox wouldn't work, At first it was some minor glitchiness, but when I closed Floorp and went to use Firefox to research the problem and what the solution is, my three home tabs didn't open, and the one tab that didn't showed Tumblr but the browser displayed the Firefox new tab window, as did any other tabs I opened, it was completely unresponsive.

Really it's a shame, because Floorp is a really nice browser, and the customization is great, not just for eye candy, the vertical Thunderbird like toolbar gives easy access to things you need, the hide away ( like your taskbar can) bookmarks toolbar makes it easy to get to your bookmarks without them taking up space. Unfortunately, it's far too buggy to use.

I do wonder, how many of it's features are available in the config? While the vertical toolbar and built in syncable notes obviously aren't, what about hiding the bookmarks toolbar? Moving the toolbar and tab bar around? Multiple tab rows? Are their extensions to add some of this?

Y'all might've noticed the lack of posts here. Near as I can tell, this has never successfully Federated beyond Lemmy which kinda defeats the purpose, so I've moved it over to it's own account on Mastodon, [email protected] rather than it's original form which was as a subsection of [email protected]
