  • this made me mad so i made a single, ultra minimal html page in 5 minutes that you can just paste in your url box

    data:text/html;base64,PCFkb2N0eXBlaHRtbD48Ym9keSBzdHlsZT10ZXh0LWFsaWduOmNlbnRlcjtmb250LWZhbWlseTpzYW5zLXNlcmlmO2JhY2tncm91bmQ6IzAwMDtjb2xvcjojMmYyPjxoMT5JcyBpdCBETlM/PC9oMT48cCBzdHlsZT1mb250LXNpemU6MTJyZW0+WWVz
    

    source code:

    <!doctypehtml><body style=text-align:center;font-family:sans-serif;background:#000;color:#2f2><h1>Is it DNS?</h1><p style=font-size:12rem>Yes

    What browser should I use on mobile? I use Librewolf on desktop since it runs fine, and the vertical tabs are great, and it looks nice.

    On mobile though there’s a lot of problems with the browser space:

    • Chrome: runs great but is obviously not good for privacy
    • Firefox: what most people recommend, but it has terrible performance, looks not great, and doesn’t even have more than basic fingerprinting protection, and literally includes ads by default. It’s also less secure on Android because they don’t do per site process isolation, and the memory allocator is worse.
    • Brave: people tend to dislike brave here, but it runs well (since it’s chromium based) and has at least better fingerprinting protection.

    What other options are there?







  • I have had an insane number of issues on my AMD card (not even old, an RX 6600 XT). Every new kernel version, ROCm version, there’s some new bug/crash that happens. Currently, the LTS kernel is the only stable one for me.

    A list of issues I’ve had:

    • Random page faults in OpenGL if I dare use more than 10% of it
    • An insane separation of the audio and video driver on the GPU that causes neither to be usable, one stuck in limbo, unable to be bound to any device.
    • Segmentation fault when doing anything in ROCm (I’ve had to revert to a very specific month old version)
    • Page fault with VAAPI if I have both a vulkan and opengl app running
    • Absolute lag insanity if I use SPECIFICALLY 92-95% of my vram, anything else is fine. I swear it’s not a vram issue.
    • Glitchy artifacts frequently on the screen reminiscent of a VRAM issue (newest issue that made me revert to month old kernel versions)

    I’m still gonna be using Linux, but I’ve never had issues like these in windows (where amd is famous for *bad" drivers).
