This is part of the Android release for Firefox 127.0.2.
Please leave a comment on Bug : Android idle battery drain due to Firefox if you still experience this issue after updating Firefox and restarting your phone:
Gnome 47 will be a massive upgrade for sure. And everything I have read are only improvements and not regressions.Many of generally unnoticed ones like in the area of accessibility, thanks to STF.
Firefox 127.0.2 Release Notes
-
Fixed an issue where YouTube playback may experience stalling under certain conditions.
-
Fixed an issue where the Private Window icon was displayed in the taskbar on Windows when browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled was set to false.
Nightly can be configured by advanced testers to use custom prompts and any compatible chatbot, such as llamafile, which runs on-device open models, including open-source ones. We are excited for the community to share interesting prompts, chatbots, and models as we make this a better user experience. We are also looking at how we can provide an easy-to-set-up option for a private, fully local chatbot as an alternative to using third-party providers.
I think they could've waited until they properly tried implementing a local llm. Anyway glad to know that we have options and gonna try this.

For people who worry about Youtube buffering/skipping issues, it's fixed in Firefox 129, wait for Firefox 127.0.2

Usually when muxing a video bytestream, the video samples' timestamp should be monotonizally increasing and no overlap between samples. But there are some bad video samples in YT's bytesteam, they overlapped with the previous sample. Eg. [124416000, 125126000] and [125125000, 131382000].

RESOLVED (alwu) in Core - Audio/Video: Playback. Last updated 2024-06-19.
And this is 100% Youtube's fault, not Firefox's fault, they created this issue:

I had MPV, Celluloid and VLC. After using showtime and trying a bunch of formats, I uninstalled MPV and Celluloid. I also set it as default too (loves the adwaita UI ). VLC is just there as a backup.
True. I'm glad that the multiple lemmy releases during past months didn't make the app unusable.
Most of the speed is due to them compiling packages with the x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 instruction set and LTO.
That means the CPU need to be little newer to take advantage of, too

Hey there. Welcome to gnome and looking forward to seeing your work.
These TWIG issues really shows how much Sovereign Tech Fund boosts the accessibility and modernisation for GNOME. What would have been if all countries started spending such an amount for OSS projects
A very well written blog. Never knew what us he difference between adwaita and gnome, and this blog made clear exactly that.
Here ya go
Blog : https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wine-9.10-Released
Detailed release notes : Wine gitlab
This is exciting news indeed. Reading last weeks TWIG left me worrying, but this is a releif. Hope the usual accessibility & performance improvement news can be seen from the next TWIG issue onwards.
This is a very welcoming change, especially for those who are starting with workbench and gnome developement.

Proton Mail for iOS: Improved event summary

Hi everyone,
We understand that every second counts and we continue our work on making the processes in our apps faster. The Proton Mail app for iOS is now better integrated with Proton Calendar so you can be more productive when managing your events.
🗓️ Our new calendar event summary widget not only shows the event info in all emails that contain invites, but also allows you to confirm or reject your attendance with a single tap.
Download the app here, and let us know what you think: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/proton-mail-encrypted-email/id979659905
We’re currently facing a major issue from the GNOME Foundation side. We hope it will be resolved before it impacts the coordination of the STF project, but if not, the future of parts of the project is uncertain.
This blog always gave me hope and joy of seeing progress in Linux. This time, the above news made me a little scared. Hope it all resolves soon.

The following PR actually implements a desktop like UI for firefox android.Hope it will be in atleast beta soon.
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/pull/5218#issuecomment-1966233109
there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :
- Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
- In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
- Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
- Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
- CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.
Hope we get many of these in coming few months.
Same here. being subscribed to unixporn community, hyprland always makes me wanna try it. but everytime i did, i just couldn't make it as my norm. Then i return to my good old Gnome.
(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM's. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )
The slowness with libretube mostly origin from the server/instance you selected ( i am not sure though ). Maybe try a different instance ?
If you are interested learning more, there was a veritasium video about analog chips where he quite well explained the working of and the usecases .
