04:00 <SilverFox> Greys, new firefox isnt that bad

06:47 <lpg> need stylo to land on firefox mobile

06:47 <lpg> it's still slow as dirt there

06:54 <Greys> SilverFox, ain't that bad isn't all that useful because firefox, and every browser, is bad; we've all accepted and internalized this. It's not about how bad they are but how much necessary unbeneficial change they require

06:56 <Greys> I can't change to chrome because chrome forbids the behavior I require from an extension; I also hate the UI, but I could probably adapt. Safari doesn't forbid that, and the UI is about the same, but you can't theme it, and I look at screens too much to accept a white styled UI where I can choose not to

06:57 <Greys> also I wouldn't now change to chrome because it performs like a cinderblock in a marathon

07:00 <Greys> really it comes down to can I get the extensions I need, a URL alias system that doesn't require a global prefix, an outdated version of adblock because the new one is bought and paid for by advertisers, a black mostly flat theme, tabs on the bottom of the UI block, some capacity to have tab groups (firefox removed this feature but there's an extension), etc

07:02 <Greys> oh, and I have to be able to gut a lot of horrible features that every browser has

07:02 <Greys> so SilverFox, can I do that on the new firefox

07:02 <Greys> or is it just differently as bad as everything else

07:44 <lpg> are you not using ublock origin yet

07:44 <lpg> because it's a known thing that adblock plus is no bueno and bought out

07:44 <Greys> the old version of adblock works fine

07:45 <Greys> not updating is a lower cost than transitioning to a new system

07:45 <lpg> does it crash on pages with lots of iframes still

07:45 <Greys> I have never had it crash at all

07:45 <lpg> 'transitioning to a new system' is literally like four mouse clicks

07:45 <lpg> but I see what you mean I guess?

07:45 <Greys> haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

07:45 <Greys> no, moving over all my rules and whitelists

07:45 <lpg> crap I guess it's like 5 or 6

07:46 <lpg> do you block extra stuff or something

07:46 <Greys> extra?

07:46 <lpg> how many rules and whitelist entries can you have

07:46 <Greys> I don't even understand how to apply the concept of extra to a unique list

07:49 <lpg> as in "are you blocking more things than base adblock does, and does ublock just do those things by default"

07:49 <Greys> step one, get adblock, step 2, delete all the included rules

07:50 <lpg> right, using an ancient extension isn't a concept that's compatible with new Firefox anyways

07:50 <Greys> it's not ancient, just like 3 months

07:51 <lpg> I thought regular AB hit the fan like 3 years ago with their "pay us money to be an acceptable ad" program

07:51 <Greys> yea, and guess how that works

07:51 <Greys> subscription lists

07:52 <lpg> so what changed in the past 3 months?

07:54 <Greys> the UI

07:54 <Greys> it's not broadly impossible to select most ads to be blocked; or add blocks manually

07:55 <Greys> now*

07:59 <Greys> so the old version with a functioning UI, with all of ABP's influence removed, works fine

08:40 <Truga> just use ublock origin it's better in every way

08:40 <Truga> abp noticeably slows your browser these days

08:40 <Truga> which it's supposed to prevent by blocking all those stupid ads

08:40 <Truga> lol

08:47 <Greys> my browser performs as expected, I don't use adblock for performance reasons; it's less work to not do anything than to transition for no appreciable gain

15:36 <SilverFox> Greys, with the new firefox I went from 4GB memory usage to 1.2sh, and tabs load much faster

15:38 <ve2dmn> SilverFox: Firefox is dead. Love live Firefox!

17:03 <G-Mobile> I have 16gb

18:53 <SilverFox> dual-OS tablets are neat

18:55 <ve2dmn> SilverFox: ? link?

18:55 <SilverFox> https://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_600333.html?wid=21

18:56 <SilverFox> https://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_602713.html?wid=21

18:56 <SilverFox> you can dual-boot between windows 10 and android

18:56 <ve2dmn> neat

18:56 <SilverFox> which would be great for school for me

19:01 <SilverFox> "Cons:

19:01 <SilverFox> Battery drains quicker when plugged off charge."

19:01 <SilverFox> :thinking:

19:39 <SilverFox> can you partition SD cards?

19:50 <SilverFox> I wonder how well a tablet can run league of legends

19:51 <SilverFox> there are quad core processors going at 2.2ghz

19:55 <ve2dmn> what's the minimum spec for the game?

20:29 <SilverFox> idk

20:36 <SilverFox> minimum spec processor is 2ghz

20:53 <Greys> SilverFox, kinda, there's a lot of problems with it

20:54 <Greys> windows will only recognize the first partition on any removable media

20:54 <SilverFox> interesting

20:54 <Greys> android has very unreliable support of partitions, and frequently control over disk mounting is locked even to basic roots

20:54 <SilverFox> it also wont recognize a second C:/ partition as well

20:57 <SilverFox> do yall think the prices of SSDs are gonna come down anytime soon, or will it take a good chunk of time for them to slowly drop?

22:55 <SilverFox> Greys, https://youtu.be/ZFWBXkaZ9SM

22:55 <kmath> YouTube - False_Advertising.Mp4

22:55 <FoxBot9000> yt: False_Advertising.Mp4 | Listening Point

22:55 <SilverFox> is this common?

22:56 <SilverFox> also, how does a "direct drive" motor do those things?

23:15 <G-Mobile> I think SSD prices are near their natural low, and we're now going to see density increase while the current price tiers remain mostly stable

23:16 <G-Mobile> So there will be a 120$ SSD, but every year it'll be bigger than last year

23:18 <G-Mobile> I'm with family, cant watch the unappealing link
