we've been using waterfox classic for the last several years so we can continue using an old extension that does what we want but websites keep breaking compatibility with the old version of firefox this is based on
-F

can someone *please* find us a way to use modern firefox or a modern firefox fork with a download status bar that works

we hate the downloads being a button in the upper toolbar and really want them to be on the bottom but it seems like no extensions for modern firefox can do that without huge compromises

hey @g we just saw this and thought of you

today was going fine and now it's really bad

i think we're going to just go to sleep

someone please fix accessibility in tech by the time we wake up
-F

why does it feel like everything keeps being changed to be less accessible and less suited to our needs

why can't things just keep working the way they used to work, the way we've gotten used to them working

why do you have to keep changing things and breaking compatibility and features

oh yeah phone calls, music, solitaire, and occasionally reading up on random interests on wikipedia, forgot that last one
-F

this came up when talking to @noiob about mobile devices and learning that we have a very very different relationship with them

we can't stand using a phone for anything other than phone calls, music, and solitaire, it's way too small and you can't have multiple windows open at once (even if the OS allows it it's not usable on such a small screen)
-F

today we learned: there are people out there who find a 15" laptop to be too big

we do not comprehend this mentality, 15" is too *small*, we need a 17" one minimum (and i don't think they come bigger)

ferrets?

oh no the clocking on this

this usb c to a adapter we just went out to get says "designed for mac, ipad, and other usb-c devices"

since when did ipads have usb on them? i thought apple hated usb
-F

also we don't have a keyboard we can connect to the steam deck, which is annoying

we just have the one usb keyboard and it's usb type a, which the deck has no ports of
-F

apparently it just runs arch which
- great, the notoriously arcane and hard to maintain linux distribution
- but also it looks like epsxe and pcsx are both available for it as pre-packaged, uh, packages

-F

we need to get some emulators installed on our steam deck, with the disappointment of the recent chrono cross remaster being just a bad emulator on the original i want to just play the original

we *have* the psx disc but it'd be nice to play on a portable system

and no we are not getting one of those weird psone screens
-F

thinking about how it seems like there's a lot of stuff on youtube etc trying to explain big O notation to people (which youtube keeps recommending to us for some reason), when it feels like such a simple and basic concept to us, probably because we already understand it fine
-F

does anyone else find it difficult, after learning and fully understanding something, to comprehend not understanding said something?

i'm not sure if this is just an us thing, an autism thing, or an everyone thing

@meadow is that CW to be interpreted as "spoilers for both kirby and undertale" or as "about kirby but no spoilers, but also spoilers for undertale"?
-F

every time we remember it exists, i think it would be neat to get a tefi player

unlikely we ever will, i'm sure they're quite expensive and we have little use for it, but it'd be a Neat Thing To Have
