unless your toaster is only 32 bit.

iot would be the far better choice over using one of the debloaters or minimized installers.

the smaller older stores in tx don’t have any, but the newer ginormous ones already do have a dozen or more superchargers or other charging ports.

the redlib instance i was looking at has more ‘‘stuff’’ in the way that isn’t allowing it to work on it. but using the source reddit url in yt-dlp… that still works fine here.

people were microwaving their phones, ffs. idiots are everywhere

either one is nothing but 1s and 0s without the hardware and operating systems they run on.

i like the thinking but highly doubt it. although i’m sure you can already cross over from canada to ‘europe’ and back as much as you want up on hans island. not like there’s a customs office outpost up way tf up there.

it also says:

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 6.12.111-1.

dipshit’s tantrum tonight is gonna be a doozy.

firefox is a spring garden filled with wildflowers and honeybees going about their business compared to the hellscape that is windows group policies.

it’s what i use for a ‘chromium’ but it’s got even more defaults to flip than firefox does and has some other issues that just simply get in the way too often. but i do like how you can completely rearrange the toolbar like in firefox.

lord dipshit no-doubt has something to do with this.

i still go there maybe once a month, but i always have a buy 1-get 1 coupon. that at least gets the price down close to ~ 2019’s.

nix is on a whole different level than silverblue and other ‘atomic’ distributions.

i get shit like that frequently because scripts don’t run here unless whitelisted. usually either the content requires scripts to show itself, or blocked ads are blocking the rest of the page load, or both.

it’s at this point where i scoop-up the headline and drag it over to the ddg search box in the browser toolbar and find a different source. there almost always is.

this is what that looks like on this page.
.

you can also use stylus (a browser addon) and a userstyle for all or specific domains.

and… firefox’s “reader mode”, if available for the page, also has a basic (serif, sans, mono) font choice.

It was though. You are living in a bubble. For five years all I ever heard was “You gotta switch to Ubuntu! Windows is awful!” Except this is when I was still using Windows XP, so from my perspective Windows wasn’t awful. It was just out of date. From 2006-2011, that’s all I ever heard was Ubuntu Ubuntu Ubuntu.

ubuntu’s early popularity had nothing to do with it being ‘lightweight’ (because it really wasn’t)… but rather simply because it was ‘new’ and ‘easier’, and everybody was jumping on that bandwagon. that’s it.

xubuntu came around with dapper (june '06) and quickly became a popular recommendation for older or low-spec hardware. ubuntu itself was never that choice. ever.

I’d say around 3-4 years ago it started shifting towards Mint.

linuxmint has been going strong longer than ‘3-4 years’. a lot longer.

my PC hasn’t been updated, or changed in any way since 2023.

I don’t even update firefox. I’m running 133.0.3. I think firefox is somewhere near version 200.

it is your choice to ignore updates. you know your software is out-of-date and vulnerable.

next year: “In order to lower our costs and keep your monthly rate low, the five locations near you are being consolidated into a single location in Farawayville.”

another year later: “In order to lower our costs and keep your monthly rate low, our physical locations are being migrated to an online presence accessible through the HahaTrickedYou app, now available in your app store.”

seven months after that: the app doesn’t work. web site disappears. company goes under.

i’ve had to deal with two bricked dell all-in-one systems due to failed automatic bios updates. to their credit, they did repair those (shipping both ways, motherboard replacements) at no cost despite being out of warranty. but it did take some time for them to reach that resolution–both users had already replaced the systems with something else by the time they got word of the repairs being covered. that was years ago (7-8? maybe). the culprit then was dell’s own update software, not windows update.

i still cringe whenever i see a bios update screen that i didn’t initiate myself. at least my own systems are mostly way too old to have bios updates pushed out for them by microsoft or lvfs.
