You really overestimate how many people use an ad blocker. I wish it was that many.

Oh, you mean FF for Android? Yeah, on that front it really needs a ton of work. On the desktop side things are pretty much fast to a point where in real world use the difference is minimal.

Good luck convincing people to switch to it based only on "it loads pages faster than Chrome" though. It's a good goal to have, but getting tunnel-visioned on it when their current speed in real world use is pretty comparable is definitely not a good long-term plan.

It looks like they are riding the AI wave to bring more features that are just good, local ML-based, and I'm all in for it. Firefox Translation is a great recent example, it's good.

Same, their local translation tech is absolutely great! If they keep working "AI" features that are pretty much quality of life ML stuff I'm all in for it.

The point is pushing for wider free software adoption by organizations such as governments that are trying to meet ecologically "green" objectives.

Long story short, there was a bug with apt that Pop!_OS didn't patch before the release. They did so after the latest version at the time was released. Had he updated his system before trying to install Steam, it'd never happened, that's the worst part.

Definitely not involved with the project, just interested in seeing it develop 😅

The tl;dr for those like me, who don't understand the technical parts:

This week we merged support for the VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier extension in NVK, the new open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware. We've also back-ported the code to the Mesa 24.1 staging branch so it will be part of the upcoming Mesa 24.1 release.

DRM format modifier support is one of the most important features we've landed in NVK in a while. Though it's not a very interesting feature to most Vulkan applications or game developers, it's very important to the Linux display pipeline. Importantly to users, this is the last piece required to support GameScope. It's also an important piece in making Zink+NVK a robust OpenGL solution.
