The real Jesus was brown was he not?

Been using arch with DWM for a decade, why would I want to try anything else?

Are they? What if the server refuses to serve the video until the ad’s duration has passed? You’d have no better option than to hide it, which most people wouldn’t bother with.

What’s hard to do is the engine, you can just take gecko or webkit and make your own browser. I doubt Mozilla’s AI ventures will affect gecko, probably just the browser itself.

That’s exactly what the vast majority of AUR packages do already? You can also apply modifications to the compilation process if needed.

It’s not “linux”’s job to be userfriendly, it’s up to the distro. Look at android, steam deck and chromebooks, three very userfriendly linux distros. Now we just need some billion dollar company to do what google and valve did with those for a desktop and we’re good to go.

Is that just a backup of the old one or does it still get updated?

It’s probably all in the registry somewhere.

It it because apple doesn’t want addons, or because firefox is forced to use webkit?

7 hours of fun, I’ll take it as a win.

Right but most people have no clue, they’ll go to their local store which I guarantee you doesn’t have Linux computers. Online buyers will go on amazon and buy from “known and reputable” brands like Asus, Dell and such. Don’t get me wrong, I love linux and have been using it as my main OS for nearly a decade but to say it’s easy to get/install for your average user is just wrong. Everyone always overestimates what the average user is actually like. Your average user doesn’t even know what an OS or Linux even is.

The issue is that you have to install it. Most users don’t have a clue how to install windows either, but it came with their PC.

Most workplaces have those disabled through the group policy editor and the likes. I’ve never seen a single ad on my work laptop. Cortana, copilot and all that crap are also disabled by default.

Why? There was a time when chrome was significantly better, and most people hate change.

Anything less than the full unmodded suckless suite is unacceptable

Most people don’t have a clue. I remember mentionning the word byzantine at the dinner table when I was a teenager and was told “you play too many games and read too many books, this is reality, there’s no such thing as a byzantine”.

When I showed them the wikipedia page about it, “it’s not because it’s on the internet that it’s true”. Yet here we are, in 2024, where they are glued to facebook believing some of the wildest things.

It’s probably just your tax pennies unfortunately, your tax dollars are still going to the army and such.

It does though

Try flameshot or spectacle, way better.

Honestly that’s not much better than muting and doing something else like we used to do with cable. If it gets to this point, I’ll be long gone, probably to curiositystream or nebula.
