| Metamorphosis | So yeah, I found Brave to be very scammy and controversial. It is barely anything more than Chromium + an adblocker + Brave's crypto stuff on the top | 08:12 |
| Metamorphosis | I recommend users not to use it | 08:12 |
| Metamorphosis | With almost everything other than Firefox being based on Chromium these days, there are no shortages of Chrome clones to look for a safer one. | 08:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Metamorphosis: brave is not really officialy supported on apt, and they give a warning on the snap too | 08:14 |
| lotuspsychje | the pro side its that its bloody fast | 08:15 |
| Metamorphosis | I'm not sure if it is really faster than others. | 08:16 |
| lotuspsychje | it sure is | 08:16 |
| Metamorphosis | For example for me Falkon browser (which has not been updated in ages) is faster than anything else. | 08:16 |
| Metamorphosis | But it depends on what website I'm trying to open | 08:16 |
| lotuspsychje | the new FF has improved alot speedwise, but cant reach on braves speed yet | 08:16 |
| lotuspsychje | didnt test falkon myself, ill try that | 08:16 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm interesting Metamorphosis | 08:18 |
| lotuspsychje | i like falkon | 08:18 |
| lotuspsychje | might be a chromium killer :p | 08:20 |
| tomreyn | Metamorphosis: in case you were looking for chromium builds, i.e. not chrome, distributed via apt: look for "ungoogled chromium" | 08:34 |
| Metamorphosis | tomreyn Thanks a lot for that | 08:58 |
| Metamorphosis | lotuspsychje If you are a Kubuntu/KDE user like me, Falkon is a must. | 08:59 |
| Metamorphosis | tomreyn it appears that it is not in official repos in Kubuntu 20.04 | 08:59 |
| tomreyn | Metamorphosis: that's right, just like the others discussed here. | 09:27 |
| tomreyn | in ubuntu, chromium is now a snap | 09:27 |
| === jelly-home is now known as jelly | ||
| ogra | Metamorphosis, well, if you want a newer falkon there is https://snapcraft.io/falkon ... the candidate channel has a stable 3.1.0 and edge has daily builds it seems ... | 09:32 |
| TJ- | Can anyone think of a way to read *translated* USB keyboard input (not scan codes, the final "a-z" for stdin) whilst on a serial console? I've stumped myself but sure I did this years ago | 10:42 |
| TJ- | scenario is reading a yubikey (USB HID) into a process (cryptsetup) running on the serial console | 10:42 |
| Metamorphosis | tomreyn thanks a lot. I was never really a fan of Chrome/Chromium. I'd stick to my Firefox/ Falkon combo. | 11:16 |
| Metamorphosis | ogra thanks for that. I think I'd stay on 20.04 until 22.04 comes out. Hopefully it will bring the new Falkon | 11:16 |
| Metamorphosis | Been using Kubuntu since 2009, I have a preference to use LTS releases and upgrade every 2 years. | 11:17 |
| ogra | Metamorphosis, snaps are completely decoupled from the hosts release ... you can install that snap on anything after 14.04 | 11:22 |
| Metamorphosis | Yeah I am aware of that but my experience with snap was not very good tbh. | 11:22 |
| Metamorphosis | I live in a country where internet is extremely slow and very expensive (compared to average salary) | 11:23 |
| ogra | then snap should be your pick actually since it only does binary delta updates | 11:23 |
| Metamorphosis | And Snap wastes a huge chunk of bandwidth both with its ultra-large downloads and by updating things I don't really want to update. | 11:23 |
| ogra | if only 5byte changed between two versions, only these 5byte get downloaded | 11:25 |
| Metamorphosis | Well, my experience has been a lot more | 11:26 |
| ogra | depends what changed in thes packages you used indeed | 11:26 |
| ogra | but "physically" only changed data is downloaded ... | 11:27 |
| ogra | (using xdelta3 by default if you want to research) | 11:28 |
