Thanks! I’m not really worried, but we’ve seen rugpulls before and although I usually am a more on the trusting side, it’s good to know there is an alternative. I am using Tailscale already
now that sounds exciting. heres to hoping it becomes an actual threat to the duopoly
thats great news. i thought mozilla getting rid of the servo team was the end. do they have any approximate ideas for when an alpha/beta version would be available?
I wish them luck.
Looks like they’re mostly talking about their work in progress. Servo is in the AUR if you want to check how fast it is.

lenopow (AUR) limits charging of Lenovo laptop battery to 59%. This allegedly prolongs battery life. Set it once and forget it.

LocalSend for sending files from Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, etc. I use it to make thumbnails on my iPhone and then send the image to my Linux desktop to edit via GIMP. Prior to this nifty little app I would email myself the images 
lol.

fonts-tweak-tool. I’ve been looking for ways to specify the preferred system font for Japanese characters for months, and this is the answer. It also lets you configure a font’s properties as well. I wonder how this went under my radar for so long - perhaps I did try it before, but didn’t understand how to use it. LOL
topgrade, a configurable update handler. It’s also the utility Universal Blue uses to automatically handle updates. I’ve been using this on my Silverblue install for non-system updates upon boot and I really like it.
Vanilla Image Builder or vib for short. VanillaOS’ new release reminded me of vib’s existence. I still have to read more about its specifications, but it’s a utility to simplify the building of container images. The only use case I have is already covered by bluebuild which, as far as I can tell, is easier to work with, but maybe I’ll get funny ideas and start a learning project with vib

does this work for Thinkpads?
If bash counts as an app, then I’ve recently discovered the usefulness of bash scripting.
I’m currently using it to automate tasks that I would normally do manually or fail to do because they’re annoying to do manually.
Life is simpler with bash.

After a 12 years of FF for researching/news I dumped it a week ago and switched to Mullvad Browser sans VPN (i’m poor :)).
All my FF hardening is over. This thing is tight. NoScript works as good as my beloved UMatrix (unmaintained) and 10X better than UBlockOrigin, a does-very-little extension I always disable. There is no pocket, you snap your fingers (one button) you have a new identity, you are locked out of theme shopping, It’s better than all your homemade hardening and extensions. My browser leaks-type website tests were phenomenal to me. I also use LibreWolf every day for personal business (banks etc).
There was no learning curve. Mullvad has replaced a long association with Firefox. I will not use Firefox again. edit-spelling
