Came back to Chrome after a ~year with Firefox

So far, cons:
• Small header bar → small buttons
• In Firefox you can create tabs by middle-clicking title bar, here you can't
• No one-letter hotkeys (RMC + Q for DevTools in Firefox)
• DevTools are not that convenient (mostly using Console and Network)
• No JSON preview (rendered as a plain text)
• No dark mode 🤬 — only "sync with OS" option that does not work on Ubuntu 22 I'm using rn. At least I managed to make DevTools dark via it's own settings
• Icons are clipped and sometimes are loosing background (e.g. GitHub icons in Firefox always have white background)
• Tabs opened via "Open in new tab" don't open automatically

Some pros for decency:
• All the web "standards" are supported (how unexpected 🤪)
• Groups of tabs
• Profiles (Firefox has too, but it's much more obvious and better here)
• DevTools Inspect tool does not move focus on the main window on click

Otherwise experience is pretty much the same (websites are websites lol)

P.S. Chrome seems to support xdg portals now (108.0.5359.124) *happy penguin sounds*

Happy upcoming New Year's Eve everyone ❤️🎅

Hope 2023 will be just much better for all of us. Cheers! 🥂

P.S. This is how Chelakovice looks rn, +15°C here. Anyway, fireworks all around and Santa hat make it festive) ⛄️

P.S. Booted 💻Fedora after a long time with Ubuntu and even outdated 37th feels as a paradise now. You just CAN do things here - can't say so about any other Linux distro

HP monitor's ingenious design requires 45° rotation for VESA mount. Just got a compatible stand - but now will have to look for a swivel adapter or change the monitor/stand. Standards, they say 🤡

UPD: Fixed by HP Omen Mount Adapter made by someone on 3D printer

2023's first one 💃

🪦 RedHat making 💻 Fedora fully commercial OS, stopping all open-source releases.

«...so it was only a matter of time when we do this. We love our community and environment we built, this is a heartbreaking step for all of us, but that's it — Fedora became a commercial distro. Our team hope this will make system even better, ...» — said Matt Hicks, RedHat Software CEO

R.I.P

7/10 — perfect choice for a weekend trip, but rather won't live there.

Pretty fun activity for walk/photography/quest lovers — city is known for its Dwarfs all around. Started as a revolutionary movement, placing statues everywhere became a tradition — you can find more than 600 cute gnomes, usually doing related to location stuff. There is a Dwarf Info Point next to the Old Town Hall where you can buy a map & stickers with locations of 60 Dwarfs to start a quest (which is nice but not necessary* — you can use free app with all dwarf locations).

There are lots of beautiful places to visit like Galeria Neon Side, Old Town or the Odra river — but overall architecture is pretty basic, a lot of "boxes" and worn/not painted/battered buildings, not that streets are too clean. Roadways have bike lanes almost everywhere (first thing I noticed when arrived — a lot of cyclists 😂) and it's pretty easy to find a bicycle/scooter for rent.

Weekend trouble was closure of venues on Sunday, which is pretty ridiculous — you can find opened grocery stores at every turn, but you won't be able to buy basic meds because all pharmacies are closed 🫤

I did not use public transport at all — was aiming to find as many Dwarfs as I can — by walk ofc 🙂 However, I don't quite like its design and sizes despite it's good enough equipped inside. Also no traffic light switchers and weird timings. Otherwise it's fine, should take about 30-50 minutes to cross the whole town without transfers.

*You will have to buy tickets for 8-10 PLN to get to the tower with a Dwarf (on picture above)

Ah shit, here we go again...

Tired of Ubuntu so going to try remote development over SSH in local network

P.S. Due to specifics of my job, I need Ubuntu since we use a lot of it's native modules in our software

P.P.S. Got it working by just installing ssh server and vscode extension 🕺
