Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.
It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.
Case solved why I’m getting it :)
It takes a (short while to show ). I also have uBlock origin in my phone ( with fennec ) and it did show for me for some reason
I was on fennec, but I’ll have a look! :)
I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.
Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.
Edit: after staying on the page for about a minute it just auto showed up
That was one god awful website. Holy shit. Why would anybody willingly visit that site. Wtf
Worth every goddamn cent I paid for it.
I just checked,
google photos has permanent access to photos and videos. If you disable the app the camera roll no longer works. I get “activity not found”.
Maybe with a FOSS camera app it might still work? I haven’t tried.
Edit: and that is the only permission which it has ( photos and videos ). Everything else ( location, contacts, … ) is not allowed. But that one permission is auto permanently allowed.
If you disable Google photos storage access you don’t even have a camera roll :/
That’s how embedded the damn thing is
You are correct. I misread ( or my brain farted ) and looked up the wrong one.
Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.
Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).
Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn’t seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.
I’m on my phone, so I didn’t search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there’s a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.
I’ve no recent experience with either so I can’t comment on how well either works.
Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.
Connections timing out have always been a firewall issue for me.
Client sends packet, firewall drops packet, client waits for a reply that’ll never come. Client times out.
I would check firewall logs or temporarily disable it to see if it works without it.
so yeah check the firewall on the server, the client and in between ( if any ). That’s what I would do.
The man who voted for the “leopards eat your face” party had his face eaten by leopards. More news at noon.
Didn’t Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?
You’d expect governments to sue over this. Instead they’ll queue up to buy the data
But look at all these cost savings! I made the company profitable /s
Has it gotten a makeover yet? Last time I used it ~3 years ago it still looked like it was built in the early 90s.
It was functional, not a complaint about that. The super old design just got on my nerves.
Edit: shoving AI down your throat
And this all besides all the other already present points to shit on Microsoft like the data collection
Reminder that every time they say something that causes offense they say it was just a joke.
Narrator: it was not a joke
I managed to work around it by unchecking “wait with pageload until all the blocklist are loaded” in ublock origin. Seems to work like normal now, though I’m unsure if that is actually a fix. I guess it might have some negative side effects like some ads coming through.
