No. That’s the brainwashing talking. By keeping you scared about your security, all browser developers keep you under their complete control. And with that they impose their views on what your browser should look like/behave like. But most of the time they simply remove or change options - some are visibly removed/changed, others are either hidden or in about:config and are locked, so that you can’t use them or are just rendered inoperable. Security updates are just the excuse to impose their will on you. I had it enough of Mozilla’s constant chopping the browser off, so I moved to Waterfox which brings back all options Mozilla ever removed and then some. But by the time you remember that the browser is supposed to serve you, not the other way around, it will be too late.

I don’t see much of a difference between the two. That’s why now I’m uninstalling everything I use everyday and put them back as “portable” variants - downloaded as tarballs from their sites, github, or downloaded from Arch’s archive. Already did that with Telegram, Pinta and the browser, soon Audacious will meet the same fate cuz for some reason it uses GTK2, not GTK3 as it should. Plus, having them as tarballs means I can have better versions than those in mint’s repo.
Too bad that pacman can’t be used on Mint, that would be awesome!
Been using Arch since 2019, that has never happened to me. Apparently it’s all about the device behind the keyboard, not about pacman. 🤣
If you see only 2 parts of the image, that means your ISP sucks and it doesn’t load the entire image.

1·7 months agoThis applies only if you update or reinstall. I stopped updating the whole system (permanently), except for a few independent programs, so I won’t have to do anything. :)
Yeah, I think it does. But I still don’t get it why the man in the third image is with nearly closed eyes. Is he answering the question by mimicing a Chinese face, meaning China told him not to trust what China says?
If that’ supposed to be funny, I don’t get it.
That thing next to the man isn’t human to begin with. 😆 You can’t expect the AI to make an authentic rendering of Chupakabra.
Nope. It’s just lewd without the NSFW part. And if you don’t understand the simple pseudocode, that’s your problem, not mine. Everyone else who has seen this meme understood it from the first look. Which speaks badly about your understanding capabilities.
Hahaha, this reminds me of a meme about a dude who bought this very expensive luxurious car but he was selling it because he couldn’t find a way to get in bc the car didn’t have any doors or handles.
I’m using Copilot to help with bash scripting when I get stuck with the script. I’m aware they’ll be able to see all of my scripts but: • I’m willing to share all of my scripts with anyone who wants them, so I’m OK with it, if MS can see them. They’re all FOSS literally and figuratively. • Copilot is incredibly helpful with scripts, much more helpful than the 10 year old kid named ChatGPT. When I ask Copilot to explain a certain part of the script, it explains it in an understandable way, unlike quite a few other AIs.



I’ve seen those messages but I’ve always ignored them. I restart whenever I decide, not when Mozilla wants me to. 😆
