mnmalst··on Zen, a Arc-like open-source browser based on the Firefox engine
I meant something like this browser does: https://arc.net/ where the urlbar and all the buttons of the navigation bar are in the sidebar as well, so you have more room vertically for the actual web content.

This looks really great. One thing I have never seen done is having the url bar completely removed and put everything in the sidebar. That would really save some vertical space. Since you seem to know your way around the firefox sources, do you think that's possible?

Man you got my hopes up for a bit there since I remembered Kiwi browser was chromium based which after checking, it still is. From there website: "Kiwi is based on Chromium and WebKit." https://kiwibrowser.com/

Doesn't pick up my (non ttf) Terminus font and there is no obvious way to set the font manually.

mnmalst··on Google Pixel 9 Pro
To an extend yes but it's unnecessarily hard to do so. If we were at a point where is was as easy to develop foss OS/Software for mobile devices I wouldn't complain. Sadly the proprietary nature of mobile phones (mostly drivers) doesn't allow that.

I don't do it "to stick it" to anyone. I am just not willing to spend 500$+ since my current hardware is perfectly fine and does what I want. Saving money and avoiding unnecessary e-waste is more important to me.

That's definitely a good step but sadly compared to PCs still the stone ages. I want to use my phone with the OS I choose. Sadly the proprietary driver BLOBs make that unnecessarily hard or sometimes impossible.

Still using my pixel 4a. I refuse to discontinue a perfectly good phone just because the manufacturer decides it's not supported anymore. Hopefully the EU does something about planned obsolesce one day.
mnmalst··on Show HN: I made a split keyboard for large palms
Was wondering what "rage coding" means. After seeing your codeberg profile picture I have an idea now... :D
mnmalst··on Ladybird Web Browser becomes a non-profit with $1M from GitHub Founder
Personally am asking myself what the benefits of the BSD clause compared to a more restrictive license are. The only reason I personally can see is that they want to have to option to close the browser themself in the future.
mnmalst··on Neofetch developer archives all his repositories: "Have taken up farming"
What happened on those two days? Birth of his children? Probably a broken back or some other injury is more likely tho. :)
mnmalst··on Ask HN: Why is HN so often down?

mnmalst··on Deadweight Loss as a Service
I didn't realize until I read the comments. I am not smart...
mnmalst··on Firefox is rolling-out Cookie Banner Blocker by default in private windows
Has anybody figured out how to enable this permanently and not just in private windows?
mnmalst··on Screenshots from Windows 95
And now compare that to https://serenityos.org/ :)

They are doing a really good job keeping the old UI style alive.

mnmalst··on Xfce Wayland Development Roadmap
I hope this will be a slow transition but I am pretty sure it will since that's how xfce usually works.

I switched to xfce not so long ago after almost 15 years of using KDE for that slow pace exactly. I had small problems and annoyances with KDE on nvidia for a long time but it got worse over time and reached a breaking point lately. Not even talking about Wayland.

Anyways, I am happy to have a rock solid and stable alternative like xfce.

mnmalst··on Fairphone 5
I was so happy when I saw the price. Yes it's above what I am usually willing to pay but if you take into account for how long you will use it, it would be absolutely ok. In addition with all the good you do by choosing a more sustainable phone, even more so.

Sadly the size is a no go for me. I have a Pixel 4a still and am super happy with the device and I can't deal with anything bigger than that. Maybe a little bigger but not 6.46 inches. I mean come on. I have big hands but I want to be able to put it in my pants pockets.

mnmalst··on Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users
Wasn't aware of these list, thanks for mentioning it. It's a nice addition to ublock origin.
