I’m not sure how Firefox can know the difference between a loyal and casual user, but if such thing even exist it doesn’t matter to Mozilla.

Let’s be real, how many % of the browser market is owned Firefox? 3%? Loyal users would be like 0.5% or even less.

They care about money (and is fine, they need it to maintain the project) and attracting new casual users, and this is the kind of thing that do both: Not sure if FIFA sponsored Mozilla but looks like, and casual people will open Firefox just to see the World Cup results

And even so, you can just turn it off, I guess

I’m so fucking tired of this AI bullshit, and I don’t mean you OP, I mean this bubble at all.

Oh it’s the end of the world thanks to AI, we will not have to work anymore because AI can do it for us! But at the same time AI stole our jobs so we can’t buy shit.

And in the other side, AI is the most important advance in human history, we will unlock space time travel and we will be able to be inmortal all thanks to it!

No matter where the fuck you go, there’s always AI now. I just hope this shit ends soon, like the crypto currency scam that happened some years ago.

I know that this is my particular case and yours, but can’t agree more. I stopped using YouTube when I started noticing how the shitty content affected me indirectly. Is not like I really care that much, but I wanted to kill myself each fucking time I (who never searched shit like this) open YouTube and the first video was like: MAN = BAD. KILL ALL MAN. END OF THE WORLD, YOUTUBERS THAT I DON’T GIVE A FUCK “FIGHTING” EACH OTHER TO GAIN VIEWS. 😱.

So in the same way I like Lemmy (because you actually get the content you want, not sponsored shit) I started to use YouShit again through LibreTube, and now I’m happy with my cat videos.

There’s a official Arch Linux D*scord?

I know this not answer your questions, but I was like this years ago, I wanted everything open source, everything in VM or container with minimum permissions, only open source drivers, only flatpak, and all that stuff. I was like that for 3 or 4 years, in the meantime I changed my email address to a provider with better reputation than Google, I stop using everything that was proprietary, stop using Google services. Even did the most stupid thing, deleting my 5 years old Steam account because “I don’t need Steam to play, I can pirate games or play open source games so Valve or the companies can’t access my data”

And what happened then? While I was happy owning my stuff, I don’t have that much things to do on my system, can I play? Yeah, an pirated game through Bottles (since is sandboxes and pirated) but was a pain in the ass, the 50% of the games required at least 2 days setting up Wine to make them work, and I’m not an Linux expert but I know my way around. And by the way, at the moment I was using NVIDIA, and their open source graphics at the moment were shit, not sure how they are now, but you can’t literally run Terraria, no joking.

And now that I mentioned NVIDIA open source drivers, at least at the moment you can’t even play a video on Firefox because of the stuttering, I can’t even try Hyprland or Sway, and even Plasma ran so bad, was so fucking laggy on both Xorg and Wayland.

Oh and the most cancerigneous thing: I distrohopped like 1 time a day searching for the distro with the most compatibility. How many time I wasted on this.

So I suggest you: Don’t do that. Don’t be me. Want to play? Why don’t you set up a dual boot and let Steam only in the secondary OS that you don’t want to use? If you want be sure that Steam can’t access your other OS, you can encrypt the whole disk or partition. I can tell you, for sure, that videogames are pretty delicate and when you try to run something over different layers, something usually can break and you don’t know why.

Holy fuck thanks for sharing, I always wanted to use my terminal on Linux just to show my friends how I can type “ls -l” and look like a hacker!

🥵

I remember when I started on Linux and the open source world in general that the “Releases” button on Github was like an omnipresent being, you knew it was there but not where.

Probably it was just me being dumb but idk.

I’m not sure about this case because I don’t use flatpak that much, but to be honest I hate when I install an Electron based program such Freetube, and even though I installed the BIN binary (arch btw, not happened this on Debian based distros) for some reason my package manager decided to install the whole Electron framework with DE included. I get that it depends on it to work, but I don’t need 40 Electron packages to show in my Wofi that I would never use, is so ugly. The same with Qt programs and any single KDE app (but I understand in this case)

I mean, yeah I understand that Freetube depend on Electron to work, but why when installing Steam this is not the case?

Does Linux turn you into a furry, or do you have to be a furry to use Linux?

Yeah, that’s my point, maybe I redacted wrongly my comment, I genuinely want to know why people say that the EU is better than the US, and they are VERY probably right.

I just find funny this “EU vs US” everywhere.

I don’t want to start a war here, but I don’t get why people argue that the EU is better than the US because X or Z. We just side with who is the “less bad” and who action’s directly affect us less or more according to our standards and reality.

This is just plain bullshit, at this point why they don’t just convert their hidden dictatorships to real dictatorships? Let’s censure everything, everything is bad, fuck that.
