Best printer 20XX: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

call it SUES. SUSE won’t be able to complain since they are so hung up on it being pronounced SU-SAY.

proprietary hacking software with root access, yep that definitely sounds like something I want to install on my devices

support should drop when we hit the sweat spot where the energy saving from running modern RISC devices over old CISC outweighs the energy cost of manufacturing replacements.

Can’t speak to the specific sites that you use but I’ve personally found firefox user agent spoofing results in almost every site that didn’t work on firefox suddenly magically working if they think you are on chrome.

I guess mileage varies here because flatpaks have always just worked for me. I only use flatseal to revoke excessive permissions.

Web devs don’t make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don’t care?

correct

also in the case of Google controlled websites the errors are often deliberately introduced to sabotage firefox

“free speech” absolutists just being nazis yet again

They are not really “free speech” sites, they are fascist sites. They will use your left wing posts as rhetorical proof of their openness until such a time that your antagonism gains any traction at which point they will promptly censor you as they do not really have any ideals. The game is rigged, post on a fascist site and you will be a tool for fascism.

Lemmy was built explicitly in recognition of this fact for the master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house.

2004: non-IT person loses the cable that came with their device, has to harass IT/their tech friend to even know what type of cable they are missing, goes to a store and pays a massive mark up for a cable that is not functionally better than a cheap one but the brick and mortar stores do not stock any cheap ones. Next year they will upgrade some component or another and need to buy an adapter for the cable that will also have heinous markup. A year after that they upgrade the component on the otherside of the cable and this time have to throw the cable and adapter in a box of loose cables.

2024: non-IT person loses their device cable, shrugs and plugs in their phone charger cable… it works and is 4 times faster than the lost one, it will serve until the new one arrives they just ordered from a “top 11 usb -c cables to buy in 2024 list” they found on the first page of google, they could of got a better deal if they asked you but it’s still a good enough cable and cost 1/4 of an aux cable in 2004. they still have a box of random cables in their cupboard but they didn’t need to dig through it, they know what usb-c looks like from handling their phone 18 hours a day.
