@rdfg77:kde.orglinsui https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2023/08/10/prepare-your-firefox-desktop-extension-for-the-upcoming-android-release/ 04:05:11
@rdfg77:kde.orglinsui Finally, though I have all extensions in my own collection already. 04:05:48
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7Ah. Intreresting. I still use firefox desktop version in termux-x11 when I need extensions to work right, but this might make that less necessary. If only they'd add keyboard shortcuts tot he android version..... 04:33:18
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7(chrome for android already supports keyboard shortcuts)04:33:31
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7 * (chrome for android already supports same keyboard shortcuts as desktop version, but firefox android doesn't)04:33:51

@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7cuz i always use android phones with qwerty keyboard.04:51:23
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7I started with Motorola Photon-Q, now use F(x)tec Pro¹04:51:47
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7onscreen keyboards are annoying, more prone to mistakes, and take up half the screen, who wants that?04:52:30
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7using them in landscape takes like 3/4 of the screen04:52:43
@rdfg77:kde.orglinsuiI feel that the keyboard is too small for my fingers.04:53:08
@rdfg77:kde.orglinsuiIf I must use a keyboard on Android I'll use a bluetooth keyboard.04:53:39
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7I feel onscreen keyboard is far too small for my thumbs.04:55:27
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7But with practice type 90wpm on hardware keyboard.04:55:35
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7And on real computer only 120, so llike 3/4 as fast.04:55:49

People like me who don't type much on their phone in the first place and as such don't have any keyboard take space I guess.

@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7yeppers, the qwerty slider lots its popularity somehow, the thin slab is what everyone seems to want05:03:26
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7but not I05:03:30
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7iphone released without keyboard, everyone thought that was cool, android devices copied, and soon practically no more keyboard phones after 201305:04:28
@srr24x7:envs.netsrr24x7

the thin slab is what everyone seems to want

You mean the thin phones where everybody slaps their thick hardcover and screen protectors on them?

05:06:30
@srr24x7:envs.netsrr24x7🤪05:06:43
@srr24x7:envs.netsrr24x71mm thinner phone, 5mm extra protection05:07:54
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7 * yeppers, the qwerty slider lost its popularity somehow, the thin slab is what everyone seems to want05:07:57
@enigma9o7:matrix.orgenigma9o7Indeed, that is a little silly. But if you look at "rugged" phones, which are thicker and dont need any external case, they look kinda silly too.05:09:17
