Don’t do this stupid shit. Advocating for violence like this
I’m curious, did you read about Don Chafin before posting this comment?
check out the song too: Hang Don Chafin
the C and fiber layers should be swapped, fragility-wise
Important context!
They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.
What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔
Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:
The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because […] to make Firefox commercially viable […] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar
All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.
it works for me. did you forget to pay your git bill?
that's six by my count

You are mistaken about the definition of the word “stable” in the computing context generally.
In the case of both Debian stable and other software which has “stable” releases, it does not mean that there won’t be any updates to the stable release, it means that it was thoroughly tested prior to release and whatever changes might need to be made later can be expected to be relatively minimal and also well tested.
sudo apt --update --autoremove upgrade -ynote
this doesn’t actually do the same thing as the previous comment running autoremove afterwards does; the former will remove things which were rendered removable by the upgrade while the latter will only remove things which were already autoremovable prior the upgrade.
“Two economists are walking in a forest” wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual
your commitment to the bit is truly laudable 🤣
