#Sunstone browser now has a start page, with default search provided by DuckDuckGo. All of Sunstone's internal pages are going to be linked through the menu bar provided in the default page template. I am no web designer, but I've taken time to make the design responsive and hopefully nice and cleanly functional. Shrink the page down past a certain level and the sidebar becomes a top…

Neat ideas for navigating threaded comments & new comments highlighting. I kinda thought of this but really wonder about its usefulness.
- If there's too much nesting of comments, the sidebar space won't be enough
- It shows "[INT] [NAME]" where INT = vote count. Higher count is probably more read-worthy?
- Per-day filter for new comments highlighting is probably too broad in scope if the conversation is too active.
- Sidebar won't appear on sma…

*click* Until Firefox devs screw something up that's absolutely no AI functionality for me, thanks.
Oh, it's in its own new section of the settings, "AI Controls".
#firefox #mozilla #noai

The popup that you now get in Firefox 148 if you "Block AI Enhancements", explaining what you'll be blocking:

Translations, Image alt text in Firefox PDF viewer, tab group suggestions, key points in link previews, chatbot providers in sidebar.

@… thanks, getting started is already the first menu item in the FreeBSD Foundation menu button – amongst the five community bookmarks, which are as high as possible in the sidebar.
It might have been added at the suggestion of @…

As soon as I encountered computers, I dreamt of a smart AI sidekick that could organize my thoughts and collaborate with me on them. Obsidian with @dereklarso's Claude Sidebar has done that. My life is transformed overnight again.

The removal of TrueNAS legacy (CORE) leaves space for a tenth button.
What would you like?
The button need not be FreeBSD-specific. Discussions frequently attract users of other systems.
The sidebar of r/freebsd is crowded (very tall), and this cluster of buttons is relatively far down, so I doubt that it will gain much attention. Still, cafe community thoughts are welcome.

I just realized the Vivaldi browser has a default sidebar button for Trending from their Mastodon instance.
Which means I've breached containment... :elmo_fire:

#Sunstone #browser grew a vertical tab bar over the past two days. Tabs appear in the first pane in the sidebar. There are a couple of limitations so far. Tabs can't yet be reordered from this pane, and if you reorder your tabs using either the tab overview or the regular horizontal tab b…

@… people complaining about the option of using a chatbot, in a sidebar of Firefox, caused me to occasionally experiment with chatbots in the sidebar.
When people make unreasonable demands: the listener will do the opposite of what's demanded.
Human nature.

Content warning: yet another gnome design rant

Tuba is one of the few gtk/gnome design app that manages to make a mostly good desktop app, having a sidebar and stuff, but then you'll see them doing stuff like you need to click on the pfp in order to see a profile preview instead of just hover, and in order to actually open the profile you need to click the preview's pfp???? Who tf thought this was a good idea??? And not adding cross-account actions bc the dumb gnome awful design guidelines say "right click bad"???????
