There is absolutely nothing difficult to use in Firefox. If anything it’s easier, as most of the settings aren’t arbitrarily hidden to prevent you from changing them. There are also fewer bullshit settings because they aren’t harvesting your data.

What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don’t use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven’t in several years now. However, it’s the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The way she says “That is correct your honor” the second time while trying not to laugh is like the perfect encapsulation of what being public defender is like. Most people would not believe the sheer amount of stupidity witnessed by PDs, and sometimes you just gotta laugh. Still, they show up and go to bat for you, even if you’re doing the thing they’re defending you against at the time.

Murder sticks.

So September 2025ish is when I need to decide which Linux distro to go with.

For what it’s worth I’ve had Google Fi for eight years. My bill has never increased, and we have unlimited data. I’m on a plan with my wife and her dad and we pay 167 per month for all three lines including insurance on two phones (12/month total). We are in an area with 5G coverage, it speed tests between 100-300 Mbps generally.

Sure they could kill it at any time but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now pretend your electric blower is actually a super loud and inefficient two stroke motor.

The movement of air isn’t noisy, the motor is.

Idk what newsgroups are

Meanwhile pirating content and streaming it has never been easier. Jellyfin and private trackers ftw

I don’t think it would matter what it was, I’m not doing an entire OS reinstall to “upgrade” to an inferior experience. If it can’t apply the update itself, it’s not going on until it absolutely has to, and even then it’s looking more likely to be Linux next boot install.

Mine can run it but requires reinstalling my entire OS because something in the bios wasn’t enabled before it was installed. I mean…okay that’s certainly a design choice but I’m 100% not doing that

I’m a geologist and will save you some googling: it probably looks like a very large phallic obiect forcing itself into one phat rock formation.

It blows my mind how slow mine is now. I don’t even use the UI really, I only switch between ps5 and my shield tv, but that switch takes SO LONG

Because the average person is stupid and will pay $4 for fucking water because it looks like an energy drink.

Yo! What’s a proper VPN these days? It seems like all the ones I used to trust went to shit.

So I just had it forced onto my work machine and here’s my take away so far:

It’s slow. I don’t care about the bells and whistles they added visually, it’s slow. Really slow. My workload and usage has not changed one iota from 10 to 11. Every single aspect of my job is the same, i use 90% Microsoft Apps, plus chrome (no choice) and acrobat. WHY IS IT SLOW. My laptop was built for windows 11. Windows 10 ran fine and was not noticeably different in any way other than some visual changes I don’t need. Why the fuck is it SLOW. Why. Seriously, why?

I do not care about tabbed explorer, it’s fine but it’s not a feature I’ve ever had in an OS or needed. I don’t care about most of the other obvious changes, but I do care that my job is now significantly more difficult because my every day tasks take longer and the OS locks up due to high CPU and memory usage even though all apps combined are only using about 20% of my resources. So the OS eats 80% because…i don’t know or car why, it fucking sucks and I hate it.
