It's an illustration of what the first vertebrate that stepped on land may have looked like. If that thing would have been killed, we wouldn't be here now
Wouldn't work. If there's so many diamonds, they'd just kind of lose their value. Also, who are you gonna sell them to, if everyone has them?
Although it could kind of be a new currency that excludes the rich, making their wealth at least a little useless.
I fully agree on the premise, but I think it needs refining.
Wait what? They force you to use their authenticator? How, when, what?
Imagine the utopia we would live in if every website was as beautiful as this https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/
165??? That's insane, you may be better off with KeePassDX. It combines password managing and TOTP
I'm glad to hear that, I had fun, too. Thank you for your time and have an amazing day, kind stranger
I understand, my confusion was caused by the misleading app size shown in App Info. It's actually like 70MB so my question is dumb. I'm sorry for wasting your time
It shows up as an installable app. Although, I just checked the repo of the /e/ browser and it is probably bigger than it appears to be in App Info. I'll edit the post rq
Yeah, of course a lot is cached and stored in user data but I don't get why the app itself has to be so big. It's not significantly faster.
Edit: Never mind all that, I edited the post, the app size wasn't correctly shown.
It does pretty much everything a browser like Firefox, Focus, Mull, etc would do so I think it's fair to call it a browser.
Also, the Android System WebView package is not installed on /e/OS
Edit: Yeah, never mind all that. The browser's size isn't shown correctly and some kind of WebView is installed so it may use that. The repo is about 70MB which makes far more sense.
I am aware of the complexity of a modern browser. Still, 80+ megabytes for a simple browser like Focus seems excessive. Especially when the Bromite-based /e/OS browser can provide more functionality for an eighth of the size
Why are (mobile) browsers so big?
Why are so many mobile browsers at least 100, if not 200 megabytes in size? Even Firefox Focus which is supposed to be small and, you know, focussed is 85MB big.
The smallest browser I could find was the /e/ Foundation's built-in browser for /e/OS. It's 12MB.
It's kind of between Firefox and Focus in terms of features so why are all other browsers so big? Is there a small version of Firefox for Android?
Edit: I just looked up the /e/ Browser repo on their GitLab and the browser appears to be bigger than the 12MB displayed in App Info. It's about 70MB, so pretty comparable to the other browsers. I was so confused by the size difference but that's cleared up now.
Exactly! Chrome is just so much easier to install. All you have to do is go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/, click the big download button and install it. So much easier!
Yeah, using Firefox is a real hassle compared to Edge or Chrome. It's really only worth it if you're hardcorde into privacy but barely usable for your average Joe /s
Yeah, Darktable is more of a Lightroom replacement
Learning Rust is probably always worth it. It's more efficient, lasts longer and is safer, I would try it
Try The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's pretty cool and has some very complex sentences
