Tab Notes in Firefox (support.mozilla.org)
 

Experimental feature but can be enabled in firefox stable in Settings, Firefox Labs, Tab notes under Productivity.

I found it really useful for when Im researching something and have lots of papers open in separate tabs. Though Im using it more like tab tags, since notes show up when you hover over tabs. It lets me see at a glance which specific topic a tab is related to if I forget.

What do you all think? I was kinda surprised how little discussion I have seen on this, considering that no other browser have something like it. Firefoxs implementation is pretty smart too, instead of just being a sticky notes widget in the browser (like the one in Vivaldi).

Uhh depends on your rig I guess. I build the various emulators from git and some of them like vita3k can take awhile.

But for me its more about being able to leave the update unattended, knowing that when I come back they will all be done and I can close the terminal window.

    You can use --sudoloop option with your normal update command and paru/yay will ensure the terminal session remains authenticated until the command has ended. For example:

    paru -Syu --sudoloop

    This way, after long builds, paru/yay won't have to wait for you to enter the sudo pass, or timeout and thus fail to install the built packages. This was something that really annoyed me as someone new to Linux/Arch.

    libadwaita demo runs on android now, and apk files can be grabbed from CI

    Thats big! I didn't know gtk had android support. For an alpha, the demo worked really well in my testing. I have used KDE apps on Android before but for some reason they are laggy and design wise dont fit in as well as libadwaita.

    Its sad that Ubuntu fell off due to their weird snaps push. I was okay with just ignoring snaps until Ubuntu decided it would be cool to install the snap package if its available, when the user explicitly requested the apt version. Like if you do sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap, which is a huge download and really caught me off guard the first time it happened. These kind of dark patterns were the whole reason I moved from Windows (I ve been using Linux since before Copilot).

    This is on top of the snap store being essentially proprietary and, in my opinion, generally worse than flatpaks.
