  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    What is this photo? What’s he wearing on his chest? Looks like some weird PCB with buttons?

    Looks neat, I hope it’s real, but I suspect it’s AIGI.

    Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.

    [–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 66 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson "doesn't work with Linux". Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine

    I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit...

    They already did. We are the other universe.

    I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they're not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.

    You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that's not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

    And for when switching user agents doesn't work: ungoogled chromium saves the day

    A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one β€œInstall” button in an app store):

    [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

    I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.

    I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.

    I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.

    I use chocolatey with win...If I had to use win...

    I can't believe to update on windows I have to navigate to a webpage, download the newest installer, and go through the process...

    Is this a Firefox reference?

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

    That looks badass and the perfect advert for Firefox (the browser)

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago (6 children)

    If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn't working on FF.

    As much as I don't like it, it's probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
