I mean he has lost a few things. They occasionally rule against him just to pretend they aren’t in his pocket

Always gotta assume they’re your enemy. Because why be any other way on the Internet? It’s just helpful!

No other way to see it.

Yeah, you already told me you’re a fanboy who would reject evidence, so I’m not surprised

What is this obsession with clocks recently?

I did, twice

You’re the only user catching downvotes

I remember you from before. You continue to earn the tag I gave you. BoTh SiDeS and all tho

Damn you are not really well, are you?

Says the person who wants a full inventory of my computing hardware. What a fucking bizarre human.

Um, nah… ? I actively avoid half those things and yet use computers constantly. The burden would be on you. So perhaps you can actually give examples that would be true of a lot of people. I feel like you think lemmy users are like most people and just along with what’s popular, but that’s not the case, particularly with computing concerns.

Who says I’m “making a statement” by using firefox? That’s not the goal at all.

Disagree to all.

Reading what is on a computer screen is beyond 117.9% of the population

Then I guess there would have been no problem there, since you have to read the screen and then type or copy/paste an explicit statement that is essentially impossible to miss. This was not “warning blah blah blah. OK/Cancel” that could be glossed over.

Bingo.

Also, why are people defending the scumbag for any reason? He was caught manipulating benchmarks after getting paid by a hardware company (forget which company, easy to Google this)

He’s been advocating for and promoting Linux gaming for years now

I haven’t seen any evidence of that.

I don’t agree at all that the average user would read that warning and proceed. I have seen many people freeze up and cancel upon seeing messages nowhere near that level just because they didn’t understand. That was maybe the scariest warning I’ve seen. It explicitly said it probably would break the system. I always find it odd when people act like it’s normal behavior to proceed in that situation.

He explained he was trying to approach it as an average user. But that seems disengenous to me. That warning was scary as fuck. Anyone stupid enough to go far out of their way to break their system against very strong warnings, gets what they get. The average users I know wouldn’t have done that unless they were pretty much done trying and didn’t care if it broke their system anyhow

Wow. I have a bit more respect for one than the other. The dweeb made a video where he pretended to try Linux and botched it on purpose

It actually does. You’re still supporting a browser monoculture unless you change it so radically that it makes no sense to call it a fork anymore

To my knowledge that literally only exists in the form of a Firefox fork like Librewolf. Which takes more effort to switch to than simply disabling a couple values in config.
