A crowd strike, you could call it

There are people that use Firefox who also get served ads?

It baffles me people use chrome.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

Neither did the bird.

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

Lol as if people have a choice and there isn’t a monopoly on ISP coverage

Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn’t the WTF. When you’re working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn’t be). The company wants to maintain it’s security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.

It’s not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn’t some mega shady weird thing.

It’s for the person paying for the hosting and maintaining the server to decide what they want their server to do

cries in proprietary

Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I’ve never really had an issue with Firefox performance.

Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I’ll notice from the browser level. And I’m happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.

You may want to consider adding nofail and x-systemd.device-timeout opinions on the mount as well if the NFS isn’t critical to the device booting, and speed up your boot process a bit.

What benefit does making ‘extremely harmful drugs such as meth’ illegal provide? In the US meth is illegal. In the US meth use is an epidemic. Prohibition doesn’t stop people from accessing or using drugs. It just puts a legal constraint that adds fear of repercussion and social stigma on users that is another barrier to overcome when attempting to seek help and treatment. Not to mention illegal drug trades mean potentially dangerous, unregulated products and the crime that drug trade is often associated with.

For the ‘average’ user you’re suggesting to be helping none of these are remotely difficult to address…

“I’m confused about antivirus,” Windows handles it

“I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much,” The apps you use will ask to update when you use them

“I’m unsure if I’m on the correct site to download an exe file from,” The website for the application

“I keep getting ads in my taskbar,” Disabled in literally 3 seconds at install and never think about it again (yeah it’s dumb it happens at all, fine)

“I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so,” getfirefox.com. install & run. Click set default browser when it pops up.

If you can’t answer a simple one sentence answer to an easy question I don’t think it’s Windows fault. I say this as somehow who has helped tech illiterate people of all sorts on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems over the past 25+ years.

there is no such thing as a distinction between “democracy” and “authoritarian”.

Lol. Ok.

I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head. Whether or not you’re praising them, I think ‘supreme leader’ encompasses the definition:

“leaders behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates.”

Unquestionable obedience. Like a master and a slave. Like a dog.

‘Tankie’ is often associated with Marxist-Leninists.

Taken from the ‘communism’ wiki page,

Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers’ self-management, and a more authoritarian vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a socialist state followed by the withering away of the state.

Would you look at that. Authoritarian approach. The root of disagreement among communist.

The age old tradition of cultural appropriation.

“Pope” is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Would you prefer Authoritarian Left instead? Because authoritarian is authoritarian is authoritarian. Left or right fuck off with your supreme leader bullshit.
