Opera browser: my final disavowal

While the Internet is being flooded by a record amount of Opera ads, affiliate program members and new hardcore defenders, while I - as someone, who has been using it without a break, for more than 10 years, have had enough and I’ve finally decided to uninstall it.

Part of the reason for this decision, was the new Opera One UI update, that I not only found incredibly ugly and uninspired, but also worsening the already abysmal performance of the browser, as well as adding to the already gigantic pile of bugs within.

All of this, came after a few very frustrating weeks, where the browser constantly crashed, under the weight of its own AI bloat. Every time any text was selected, it was trying to load some ridiculous AI integrations on top, but always crashing and loosing all the opened tabs.
After the UI update, the whole browser somehow felt even more wonky and laggy.

Even for those, who might be fans of the new UI and all the added “features”, that now include a built in generic anime girl game and stupid cartoon noises, upon clicking almost anything, in the “gaming version” of this browser, the growing concerns about this browsers spyware-like connections, to all kinds of mysterious servers, should at least be considered and looked into further. Not to mention the extra problems, that come with them being a Chinese-ran company, storing this data in China.
Quick summary: https://youtu.be/NV8akIgfDqQ

Int the interest of brevity, I won’t go further into the pointless social media arguments they engage in, their past promoting predatory loans, them inserting affiliate links (to the sites you visit through tiles), running a very questionable free VPN service, hidden extensions, that cannot be removed and god knows what else.

Either way Opera, you were an alright browser - many, many years ago. Sadly all I can say now, is “rest in piss, you won’t ever be missed!”.

I ran out of clothes pins once again. Upcycling milk transport cardboard boxes to smaller boxes for screws, nails and such. Becoming my own hardware store.

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you! I got started on some 3D stuff this morning, we then went to the candy store to get some candy, tonight well have that, and nachos + a movie. and the rest of the day we have been outside :)

here is what I got started on this morning :

just testing some ocean stuff.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no 27°C is fucking terrible. :-( We completely rebuilt our natural stone wall. This time with wood ash mortar as an experiment in the base layers before we quickly ran out of it. Let’s see how that goes and how long it lasts. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/natural-stone-wall-with-wood-ash-moyrtar.jpg

what’s wrong with this headline? 🤔🧐

a radiosfera em Portugal é uma cena fascinante, e agora que já não é preciso comprar um tijolo caro (basta um dongle USB de 30 paus), estou determinado a entrar mais a fundo

alguém quer vir também? :szterminal:​

Quite predictably, the introduction of Chat GPT, has led to even more browser bloat. 🎉

Also since I’m already bringing up opera - I have genuinely no idea, what their dev team is smoking, as all their additions this year, have been this desperate:

Image

From some cashback scam and TikTok integration…

…all the way to some “lonely men bait” and adding NFTs - a full year, after everyone stopped caring.

On m’a envoyé ça ce matin, c’était sur twitter, alors il fallait y remédier. Ça concerne le ministre de l’#education et le gouvernement de #france https://0x0.st/H8S2.mp4 ; https://temp.sh/PuJqp/FabriceArfi-DominikMoll.mp4 ; https://transfer.sh/LWDLyz/FabriceArfi-DominikMoll.mp4

I still have great memories, of playing Club Penguin as a child, or even playing it on a few private servers, at times, as a nostalgia-filled adult, after Disney destroyed and took down the original. Sadly most of those servers were either too obscure, broken, or not obscure enough, to avoid Disneys lawyers.

I was mildly excited, when I heard about a 3D sequel, made by some of the people, behind the original game (before Disney bought it), but this is suspicious at best.

Even if you made the funny penguin game from my childhood, I will not give you my social security number, nor my credit card info, to play the new one and I hope not many others will either.

Image

*The sequel is called “Party Parrot World” and requires a “verified Hideaway account”, if you want to play it, or try some other two game things, that they are currently working on.

I said, I don’t want to hear any more Trump news, but seeing he’s still seething in all caps and some invalid characters, on his isolated bootleg site, made me chuckle.

The only way, this could get more pathetic, is if he starts spamming 5 emojis, after every word. 😂

It’s official! 🇬🇧

I have some exciting news to share! Celebrate the 3000 days of Canine anniversary, with this limited time offer. The ore-orders will launch soon, so get your wallets ready everyone!

While waiting, you can also check the post-modern redesign of the Flist site, currently being tested on: https://flist.glitch.me

Pessoal do Porto e arredores, este sábado às 15 há Repair Café Ramalde!

(fico tão feliz que ainda haja quem saiba o valor de afixar cartazes físicos, felizmente puseram um perto de minha casa)

Another month, another pixelart! This time it’s actually not a canine, but a strange scenery, made using the PICO 8 color palette.

The only thing shared between this and the last art, is both being “slightly YIIK inspired”.

maybe get your englishing in place before moving forward to the portugal digital

Good news, for those who miss the cursed canine sticker collection - here’s a bonus one. As always, there’s a reference there, to be guessed. :)

I’m not an art investor myself, know a fair bit about it, but had no idea missing JPEGs, is where the money at.

Hi Everyone! For the month of February @prologic@twtxt.net and I are donating our beer budget to the yarn.social collective!! We would love for the yarn community to join us in not only ‘dry February’ but also making a financial donation. Funds
collected will be used to pay a mobile developer to help build the mobile app! (@prologic@twtxt.net can speak to these tech goals)

I have kicked it off. Bye wine 🍷 I will
miss you!

Image

Donations can be made via open collective.com and just search for yarn.social

#randomGameIdea #IshouldNotWorkOn #becauseIHaveManyUnfinishedOnes

A game about navigating a dodecahedron, like on Wumpus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus

The hunting mechanic in Wumpus is not fun by today’s standards but things like building a farm or exploring a planet 🌏 could be cool.

I don’t understand how 32% is too dry, or 17 is too cold. Here it is 0% and 7° in my office 😝

BTW I need one of those with humidity

At least there's a general understanding all around that Doctor Who is its own thing.

hey @justamoment@twtxt.net ! Is vector-pass open sourced or open to collaboration somehow?

I’d like to use it and perhaps replace BitWarden but I’d prefer to have passphrases rather than passwords like ijf7wY6B8ykd7Jid7 since phrases are easier to type

Image

Embedded OTPs and everything depending on a strong secret is a blast, BTW 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net 👀 In my context we use “Platform” often, but not “Ecosystem”, I guess I need to research a bit on the difference to understand it better.
Thanks for sharing all that! I always forget the About page

@darch@neotxt.dk If I may add something, I think it needs more contrast for the Dark theme. (I don’t know how I reached that theme on Edge, perhaps browser settings? On LibreWolf it shows the Light one)

Hehe, it’s looking great, good job!

I’d like to know more numbers for techs like GPS/Navigation, Twitter, TikTok, AI/ML based assistants. Decisions taken based on ML. Wearables. Medicine. Encryption. % of population with a mobile device and Internet access.
It’s going so fast that we can’t remember how to live w/o those technologies, anymore.
As a tech designer is exciting. As a world citizen… Well, a bit overwhelming, but with hope that all that tech won’t make us consumerists.
