  • Lol this is how FOSS developers should talk.

  • Users should be treated like adults by default

    Thats why there is an "accept the risk and proceed" button ;)

    By default, Firefox loads Javascript from any site. The Pegasus Trojan was transmitted by hijacking 2G and 3G network connections, and using malicious HTTP redirects that wouldnt work with HTTPS.

    They are zero-click, meaning just opening that site would run the code.

    i think security should be normalized.

    it just always reports win 10

    It reports to be Firefox ESR on Windows 10. Maybe Windows 11 now.

    you're hand waving away all the problems I deal with all the time.

    I didnt. I just find it odd that you need to know the OS to display a site for 3 different form factors. But if that is true, then a UA might be a solution.

  • He left to snort coke tho

  • Firefox treats insecure sites as dangerous and tries to tell the user to beware

    I only get that behavior when setting HTTPS-only. If I dont, I think it may display a warning but thats it.

    Are you saying that LibreWolf sends one without OS?

    No they often take Windows 10 on FF ESR

    Sometimes I do need to know iPad vs iPhone

    I think that is a problem of the browser isnt it? And how does a "desktop site" button work? Does it change the UA or is there a different way to switch between the site views?

    I dont know why this couldnt be done with a "safari on iPadOS" vs "Safafi on iOS" or a separate value for "phone", "tablet", "desktop".

    The OS is way less important than the browser and the form factor here.

  • Compared to ARM, so makes total sense.

  • If this wouldnt be possible, Mint would have problems

  • Absolutely. Make one?

  • How did AMD get the rights to build these CPUs? It is the only competitor it seems.

  • Efficiency too. I think RISC-V is mostly not made by these companies, which is why their efficiency is below x86_64 and performance is below an Intel Core 2 Duo

  • Psst there are torrents for both series, pretty active! And you might even get some bytes by me ;)

  • You get an SMS so use a spam phone number

  • Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...

  • Interesting! But afaik apt also has mechanisms to only restart necessary services.

  • No Fedora doesnt at all have livepatching. I think APT distros are great at not needing reboots, Fedora sucks. Its offline installer doesnt work well enough to excuse the reboots.

    Fedora Atomic Desktops meanwhile offer awesome unbreakability. I use Kinoite daily and dont plan on switching. Even though using latest Plasma, it just doesnt break.

    I would choose a different Distro though, if I didnt want rpm-ostree. Just not sure what? Kubuntu? No. Arch? Hell no. OpenSUSE Slowroll with KDE probably, yes that would be it.

  • Kubuntu chose to not ship Plasma 6 because it didnt match their release point. While in general a good decision, stable releases are the flaw really.

    So a semi-rolling Kubuntu yes, but LTS Kubuntu before Plasma 6? Wouldnt recommend.

    Ubuntu is also still full in on Snaps. Flatpak comes from a PPA I think. Their store is snaps-first.

    While this is not a bad concept, Flatpaks are better for many reasons. They also may be worse for some others, mainly because Snaps just use Apparmor for sandboxing, like the rest of the system, so you can make easy exceptions.

  • Second hwtest suite.

    Distros just ship packages, some rare drivers may be missing, distros have different versions of drivers, some are external and packagers just take proprietary code and make it compatible, like with NVIDIA on Fedora.
