Eh, I've had lukewarm luck that Firefox sync works for it over the years I flip flop around browsers and installs.

I'd rather do it right the first time than flipping a coin that it works this time.

Oh that's a shame. Well I guess I'll try Zen then

Pre buy out, Opera was kind of moving towards what Proton is doing now.

Now Vivaldi sets to continue that trajectory.

It's weird that Mozilla didn't. If they do it now they'll look like copycats, and they've burnt a lot of supporters with their TOS boogaloo it would take a lot from them to claw back some of those supporters

Copying the profile folder should do it

You should also copy profiles.ini (which indicates the path of the working/available profiles)

I see, thank you. That seems to be what I found out when I researched this as well.

If they are too behind the version that the profile is from then there might be "forwards compatibility" issues

Good point. I'm still using Mozilla's firefox, but am planning to try out Zen Browser, or go with Waterfox if Zen's Arc Browser style isn't up to my needs. For example, I'm very happy with the sideberry add-on on firefox.

 

I'm sorry to those that seen this from asklemmy comm. Didn't read the rules. Reposting here.

Both are Windows machines. I know, don't need to preach about it.

I like how I set up the Firefox install on my PC and getting around to using it again for work because of multi account containers. Did the testing on my personal PC in case some things break with the hardening I chose for my threat model.

I just don't want to repeat the steps again, even if I already know what worked for me.

I found online that I could just copy the Firefox profile folder. Is that just it?

If it's the copy profile way, is the profile from a base Firefox compatible for other forks? If it's not the profile copying way, is the other ways compatible moving from base firefox to its forks?

TIA

I thought they would reject it, but my band friends and their peers all like to use AI to brainstorm and draft songs and go from there making their own songs.

I thought that's interesting. I've asked them about it a few times on the lazy way of using AI and just make slop and yeah they're against that

I don't have any close friends who are drawing artists though I know a few through mutual hobbies on discord. They don't seem to be using AI as tools from what I can tell.

My dad and his circle are definitely churning slop though but says it's mostly for in-group joking and shooting the shit, so I guess that's fine

Me personally, I'm still hesitant using it. I'm an "everything" consultant that hates his place in the small IT company but rising my BPD II wave too much to change it. Everyone around me is fine using AI to help analyze and what not documents and stuff to help them work. I can see how they are useful once you know how to ask the thing, but I just don't want to.

I mean after Valve released the Steam Deck, Asus, Lenovo, MSI--to name just a few--followed suit with at least an iteration. Asus has the Ally and Ally X, Lenovo now have 3 models, and MSI only has 1.

I can't recall if there are any other big brands handheld PCs, but there's definitely Chinese ones.

Agreed. But I'm glad it's native to desktop Firefox now. Grouping tabs in desktop works for me to hide the hundreds of tabs I keep to tens of groups 🤪

A compelling screenshot. I'll add this to my watch list 草

Have to say though, seeing this scene finally animated was spine tingling and awesome

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Her model reminds me of an anime character but I can't recall who. Same brown skin and off white clothing. The hat especially, but the one I'm thinking of has it more like pseudo animal ears

A rare ARK enjoyer, very nice to see

Sign of the times, honestly

I agree with you but it took me professional help to break out of my own self depreciation habit

Personally I find more space to just do stuff is good overall

Just have to resist the urge to fill the space up 😅
