Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.

Jump

  • Previous to the switch to snaps, Ubuntu was providing the latest version of Firefox built for each supported Ubuntu release. I'm sure this was more work, but the older system library version issue was not a blocker.

    Edit: in fact, Mozilla still provides an apt repo with Firefox deb packages built for each supported Ubuntu release.

  • Smart card support is still completely broken. I kinda need that to use Linux for my work PC.

    • Snapless Ubuntu

  • The install images that included the non-free-firmware were marked as "unofficial".

    • Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS) to keep your block list up to date

    Jump

  • You see the problem?

    No. I just looked at that instance's front page. If the lemmy.world admins didn't take action, I don't see how I could continue to trust their judgement in enforcing their code of conduct going forward.

  • If you trust the judgment of the (admins of the) sites you are syncing with, this isn't a problem. If you don't trust that, don't sync with them.

    For instance, if I wanted to run my own server, I would absolutely sync with lemmy.world's block list. I agree with their stated defederation policy, and have seen no evidence of the admins disregarding it.

    Perhaps you are misunderstanding what this tool does?

  • If the single user on such an instance is so obnoxious as to be defederated from multiple larger instances, making them spend time and money to come back is a good thing.

    • tell me about your wacky dream you had last night

    Jump

  • Having a dream journal (and a habit of using it) can help you retain the dream at least long enough to record it.

    • stop asking for a karma system

    Jump

  • If saying what you want to say tanks your karma, the problem might be you and not the karma system.

    • Hide virtualisation from virtual machine

    Jump

  • It might be possible to trick the app's activation function. But before you can do that, you'd have to understand how it is checking for virtualization, so that you know what aspect of the VM's behavior to tweak.

    Someone on Lemmy might be able to help you with that, if they knew what app you were trying to use...
