Is it really worth it for the economy to continue improving if that doesn't directly correspond with better wages and public services to improve quality of life?

Goodbye #Firefox.
Browsers I'm trying and watching:
- Vivaldi (using rn)
- Zen Browser (not sure if I like vertical tabs, but it's very nice)
- Floorp
- Ladybird (totally new browser engine, a couple years away)
- LibreWolf (however it breaks too many things)

@npub12ty…vnqc crazy how much you set out to get done, and get done. Looking forward to the following feed!

@npub12ty…vnqc wait you have Sup app already made? Or is it just registering it to the app store?

@npub12ty…vnqc Android:
I'm having issues where the audio of the first video in the feed continues to play after I scroll to the next one. Then it's overlapping the audio 🤣. I appreciate all the work you've put into this, hopefully all bugs can be squashed quickly!

For those coming from #Omnivore, here is another alternative:
Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori)
It's a very simple db and web interface which has basic features but not any complicated ones nor 'AI' features. It also has a CLI and a third-party mobile app:

I have used this just because I failed to get Omnivore or Wallabag to work when I began self-hosting earlier this year. I do want to try Wallabag again though.

@npub12ty…vnqc if I want to log in using Pixelfed or Mastodon I don't need to sign up here right?

One great thing with #Pixelfed is there is no mysterious algorithm to appease. By appealing to people, your pictures get noticed, boosted and that is essentially Pixelfed's algorithm.
Appeal to people, not an algorithm.
I hope #Loops feels like this too, although I won't be posting any.

To me #RightToRepair includes modular, repairable products which include some spare parts + tools, but also provide #CAD #3DPrinting files in open file format standards so people can go to a 3d printing provider and make their own replacement parts if something breaks.
It is also #OpenStandards for everything, so I am not locked into a privacy invasive app in order to get most funcionality out of a device.
Currently most offerings of this are too expensive or are very DIY and prone to break.

Want to learn #Flutter, I have lots of ideas for thing I want to build. Too bad my only computer currently is an old laptop with 4gb ram, a weak cpu and bad battery. Having VScodium open and a couple browser tabs is enough to freeze everything, not to mention running Flutter plugins, hot reloads or emulation.
So I'm resorting to watching many videos about Flutter to try get familiar with Dart and the basic widgets and how everything works together. Will take notes as well, should I need them.

@npub12ty…vnqc I take it Pixelfed direct messages will federate with Sup to be end-to-end encrypted as well?
