    My family already uses signal as are default form of communication between each but the point that I forgot to add was for the 1% of conversation. Some of my family member have there own businesses that mostly use email but when we are in the field we use regular SMS/MMS/imessage for quick communication between “us” and the client. At least here we most only use plain SMS or iMessage if applicable is used because most people see messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp and other third party apps for personal use only.




  • If you’re the kind of person that gets demotivated really easily when there’s an opportunity to crawl back than I would wait until EOL so you feel more commit it to your choice.

    Though the reasoning for my mind set is because I install linux 4~ times before I really committed to using it as my daily driver. The final push was two very big bugs.

    I still have windows installed but its only to play rainbow with some friends.

    Can someone explain,

    Firefox now supports Content-encoding: zstd (zstandard compression). This is an alternative to broti and gzip compression for web content, and can provide higher compression levels for the same CPU used, or conversely lower server CPU use to get the same compression. This is heavily used on sites such as Facebook.

    what it means for me the user and what it means for the people who host content?

    I do agree that most of the detail gets lost. At least for me when the icon is smaller than 30x30~. I personally dislike the the simplification of the new icon makes it feel like it lacks any personality. I specifically miss the globe more then anything else. The globe made it feel like a web browser too me without it I wouldn’t even known what it was the first time I saw it.

    At less for me the newer two logos makes it feel more like a brand then a piece of software with a cute avatar.

    I don’t know how how to express my feeling and reasoning for my feeling into words.

    Just so people know the 6th logo is Firefox’s parent brand logo.

    I hope the next Firefox logo is more stylized. I personally have like the 2013 logo the most but the first is a close second. Here is how the 2013 icon looks since it isn’t on this list.

  • This is coming from a guy that hasn’t learn a single line of code other then basic “Hello, World!” in c so take this with a grain of salt.

    is Rust derived from another language?

    From what I understand it Rust shares some new programming concept. Like memory safety without garbage collection, ownership, and zero-cost abstraction.

    I know some c++, would that benefit me if I want to learn Rust?

    If you know low-level memory control. Then that would give you a heads up but some of its unique features might confuse you.

    What is powerful about Rust in comparison to other languages?

    Memory Safety, Zero-cost abstraction, ownership, backwards compatibility and you can write code from embedded systems to web assembly.

    I’m currently in the process of learning Rust; only on chapter 4 of the Book but memory safety without garbage collection, backwards compatibility and the wide range of what you can write code for is the reason for why I’m trying to learn it has my first language even though its not recommended. I hope this was helpful.



  • I was thinking of adding it to my list but I’m trying not to download any software on a browser if I can try because I might click on one of those fake look-a-like site that give you malware like what happened to gimp with google ads a while back.

    Another reason for why I didn’t added it to my list is that it doesn’t have apps that I perfer like ungoogled chromium, brave, Librewolf, MPV, neovim, rustdesk, croc, rust, Gog, vscodium, prism launcher, signal, simplex, tor browser, yt-dlp, and Obsidian.

    Package mangers are way better for updating than using ninite so I won’t have to deel with an app just sending me to download the newest verson.

    I do like using ninite for when a friend or family asking for some help with a file so I send them a ninite with Libreoffice, VLC, and 7-Zip (but now win 11 has native support for winrar and 7z so it isn’t need for most users)

    And yes I know that ninite is very defferent from a package manager, all i’m try to say is that I would rather sepnd a little more time setting up choco then use ninite.






  • Windows 11 has a bug that when I’m in file explorer and a drag a file out of the window or drag to the file to list of folder or drives on the left side of file explorer. It will freeze file explorer for about one minute. This only happens once in a while. I was extremely frustrated with windows 11 bugs that I thought to switch back to Arch Linux for real this time and even if I bricked Arch Linux, I would reinstall. There is also that Windows 11 AMD CPU bug where it will start to hitch every once in a while, when I was on my desktop. I have been thinking of going back but I love customizability of Linux and bash.
