It's always been there. They did (a long time ago now) move it all the way to the left to prevent people from pressing it all the time. In theory, Android should manage resources well enough that you shouldn't have to use it.

Don't get mad! It doesn't help anything.

I laughed out loud when I got one yesterday. It didn't even have the right name of the toll that matches my area code!

Try soaking it again overnight but with dishwasher detergent instead of normal dish soap

It also supports about:config settings with the AutoConfig feature. Does this help? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

I would just go with Debian personally since it's not updated very often.

  • You can add Firefox to startup applications several ways, such as startup apps GUI on any desktop environment.
  • Most desktop environments have an "automatic login" option you can configure. You can also disable or remove the login manager
  • You can configure some desktop environments (xfce I know for sure) to not launch the panel. Don't forget to also look up how to disable your TTY hotkeys!
  • Install the unattended-upgrades package and Debian/Ubuntu will update automatically. I hardly ever have to touch the updates on my Debian machines
  • You can make Firefox's config directory read only and it won't be able to write to it

Nice to haves:

  • Plymouth can be installed on Debian, and has a few themes that are simple spinners
  • You can do this. Look up how to do the policies.json file. Since the Firefox directory will be read only, it won't be able to be changed by the user
  • I think you can still install add-ons like an ad blocker with policies.json, but not 100% dure
  • Do a preseed install or similar https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed

I have seen others explain it like email. Email accounts will still exist regardless of if, say, Gmail shuts down. Same with fediverse instances. Unlike traditional social medias like Facebook and Twitter, people can talk to people on other sites. Imagine if people on Twitter and Facebook could reply to each other

Right? I can't wait to see how it improves as time on. I didn't have any real problems with joining on my end, though. When you signed up, was it the approval process on your instance, or just confusing? If it was the approval process, that's probably specific to lemmy.ca.
