Microsoft Edge on Linux

Yes, Microsoft has released a version of Microsoft Edge for Linux.

If you're using Fedora KDE Plasma or Kubuntu, you can find it in the app store.

(Personally, I use a different web browser, but Microsoft Edge is there if you want it.)

Screenshot of a Linux desktop running Microsoft Edge. One window is open to show the typical Edge start page, and the other window shows the about page, confirming that it is indeed Microsoft Edge.

So to recharge my phone I used to call a number and there was menu driven interface that would guide me.

You know like "Press one for menu 1 or 2 for menu 2".

A bit annoying but it do the job.

They replaced this system...

..With an AI agent.

Now I must talk with a robot who always say: "I did not understand, please repeat."

My phone is dead for 2 days now. I am unable to recharge it.

if you spell "Absolutely Nothing" backwards you get "Gnihton Yletulosba" which means absolutely nothing.

Amazing!

Hokay, I've launched a webapp at https://discoverfedi.app

What's it do?

- Let's you browse the federated timeline of a selected instance (use the change instance button to switch to something else, with mastodon.social being the default)
- Can switch to image-only view for a more "instagram" kind of feels
- Search the entire federated network (uses the fedi observer api, is a bit wonky and am still working out the kinks)
- Search hashtags on the instance you're currently viewing
- Save the instance you're viewing to "favorites" (stored as a cookie)
- Show/hide NSFW content
- Uses GardenFence to block harmful instances from being accessed in the search and display (although blocked content may show up in an instance's federated timeline, this is one of those dents in the development that need un-dented)
- Light and dark theme changed manually, or adjusted to system settings
- Requires no logon credentials, no registration, since many many many instances are publicly visible
- Works nice on a phone

Issues:
- Some instances may return an error
- Some instances may not display properly, especially across different software
- Search is a bit funky

Why?

People outside of the fediverse always complaining about how difficult it is to see what the heck the fediverse is, or choose servers. Well, the problem? There's well over 20,000+ servers, and this may or may not fix the issue of "finding things" lol

This could be an iOS/Android app, but I don't feel like paying Apple or Google money for dev accounts

stay strong, don't let the capitalism crush you.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Cat Pin. There's a reason why there are police dogs and not police cats. Cats wouldn't only let the criminals get away, they'd help bury the bodies too.

Some massage therapists offer a happiest ending, where they will kiss you on the forehead and compliment something that you are insecure about.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for these Sloth Oven Mitts. Sloth might be one of the seven deadly sins, but at least it's not the worst one. I'm okay with the service being slow at Applebee's, but I certainly don't want the chef lusting over my dish.

Blue oven mitts and a pot holder with a sloth making cinnamon rolls on it. It says "Just a few more minutes..."

it's not even piracy, it's convenience.

Here's some tips for all the newcomers on here:

-Introduce yourself by announcing what your least favorite fish is. It is standard.

-If you wish to verify your account, please upload a picture of your face to confirm that you are not Jared Leto. Jared is not allowed on here.

-Socialize by finding one person and commenting "I like this one even more than the last one" on every single one of their posts.

I need a computer for my sibling. They is at an art school, doing 2d animation. As such, they don't need a beefy cpu but they need a good amount of (preferably upgradable) ram, and a lot of storage as well, and that needs to be swappable, no other way around it, usb drives are way too slow for uncompressed high quality animated images with tons of transparent layers.
On top of that, they need a stylus screen. They already has a graphic tablet, but it's not the kind you can take at uni or in vacation.

Please tell me framework are not the only ones to have something like that...
Boosts, renotes or whatever you call them might help

If I wrote blogs about the stuff I am reading and watching would any of you read it?

The Statue of Liberty was meant to be a Trojan Horse esque attack on the United states, but France forgot to fill the statue with soldiers.

I thought scientists were supposed to be smart?
Thankfully, exchange students had already made friends who did speak french
