@nprofile…g44g Its a really sad state we are in if someone would ask me. We moved on from IE6 and sadly ended up here where everything is running in the web and browsers are more cpu/ram and gpu hungry then the OS we have on our machines.

@nprofile…g44g I use both firefox and chrome on openbsd. Im kind of hoping for ladybird to become something. Chrome I use for most of the Microsoft platforms we work in and firefox for everything else. When I use macOS I do about the same but swap Chrome for Edge and firefox for Safari.

@nprofile…g44g Yes, I can. as long as it doesnt affect my work. Nowadays with all this modern "webapps" its more important to have a web browser that supports it. But I try to find ways to use a terminal as much as possible.

We have this system called yealink here at work. Its a usb dongle you use to connect to our projectors. Today will be the first time Im hosting a meeting since I changed to running #OpenBSD at work. So I had to go and see if it works and yes it works out of the box. Another thing I have checked off my list of things that need to work on openbsd to be able to use it at work.

Okey, since I now can use #OpenBSD at work lets give #FreeBSD and Wayland a try on my old macbookpro 13.2 to see what works.
