  • Afaik Teams is just Skype for Business rebranded with a new UI and more features so the spirit lives on

    Still it is impressive how Microsoft managed to kill a voip & messaging service that had established itself to the point where you would use the brand name as a verb (at least in some languages)








  • Woah, thanks so much for that detailed comment. I really learned a lot today (and my day has barely started yet).

    I had to write a small shop web app for my programming finals using C# and Razor pages. I then had an internship where my team and I developed a Blazor app using MudBlazor which was a really cool experience. It was back then when I when I really felt how Firefox and Chromium have their little differences since I developed it using Firefox and it was broken on Chromium.

    I’ve since not done much tho because I’ve focused more on the networking path but that info was really exciting me to try setting that up on my test project just for fun ^-^


  • Tbh, I don’t use that many plugins either. Besides U-Block I got:

    Plasma Integration so I can search bookmarks via KRunner;

    Dark Reader because I don’t like bright colours;

    Gesturify because I love mouse gestures;

    Some translator (I’ve forgotten their name)

    Simple Tab Groups to stay organized;

    Progressive Web Apps for Firefox (but I’m currently testing which plugin works best)

    Honorable mention: Tab Discard, which I used to have but Firefox kinda has something similar now (or at least Floorp has, they also got their own Workspaces so I also don’t need STG any more)


  • Oh, cool. I’ve barely scratched the surface on that topic, therefore I got a few more questions concerning PWA and Electron apps:

    Are PWAs “only” websites that are shown as an app or do they have features that would distinct them from “normal websites”?

    Can PWAs reserve disk space for offline downloads for example (Spotify has got a PWA but that one is mainly their website shown as an app). And I probably can’t install a listener via PWA like Discord does for their Rich Presence, can I?

    I expect the last one to be a no because that’s probably not what you’d use a PWA for as far as I understand, but I’m especially interested about the first question
