I still don't understand the title, no matter how hard I try. Is there a word missing? A misspelling?

Just yesterday I've been flashing Raspberry OS to a micro SD card. Not succeeding with Balena Etcher, I opted to use the RPi imager tool, which did work (which might be an issue not in any way related). After that I added the `ssh` fil

Very recognizable. I've used Hugo for exactly one website, as a first introduction to static site generators. The site still runs, and if I need to change something running the `hugo` CLI still works. But it wasn't easy to get sta

Since a few months, firefox by default doesn't switch from incognito back to normal mode when I close the only remaining incognito tab. Can probably be attributed to increased privacy, I suppose, encouraging the use of incognito mode.

Using YouTube only via Firefox with the uBlock Origin plugin works pretty well too. The simple solution without requiring any additional apps. Firefox has its own quirks which are discussed on Hacker News at length, but it's good enoug

For anyone not interested in clicking on clickbait, it's a rug with a pentagram pattern, positioned in "homey" situations, e.g. with a baby on top of it.

I agree, ublock origin was my single most important reason to finally switch from chrome mobile to firefox mobile. There are some quirks though, minor annoyances that every so often get introduced in updates. For example, when closing the l

Another option you have is to put the firefox search widget above you google search widget in your home screen. It's a bit ridiculous that the Google search bar can't be removed, but this is second best.

Pinch to zoom doesn't work, and I can't find another option to increase the font size. This is on mobile. Are you by chance on pc?

For those like me who still couldn't find it: there's a small menu button on the top left. Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, but it's a bit hard to see.

Exactly this. It uses all the dark patterns similar to sites like techcrunch. Is the incentive so big to have these trackers enabled?

Evert time I see a techcrunch link on HN I automatically skip it. The site's cookie pop-up has all the dark patterns. If I go to techcrunch.com, the cookie pop-up has a long piece of text, containing a few inline links tot e.g. a &quot
