LOL how about you go fuck yourself while your taking a break from fucking pigs

I’ve been using Firefox for probably 7 or 8 years as my daily browser for persona stuff. For work related things right now I use Edge since it is Mac/Windows compatible and that’s what we support in my workplace and my workplace has two main separate institutions we use resources from that also use Microsoft infrastructure.

My workplace on the medical institution side has disabled installation or use of Firefox due to DoH DNS since they use DNS for security. But they only do this for Windows devices in the domain, so Mac users can still use it on any of the networks they operate (I still use it on my work machine for anything personal).

I have tried others. Chrome is a slug for me as cross platform user. I loved Vivaldi, but it is very problematic with my work environment and some things just straight up do no work in that environment. Brave I use strictly for my financial personal stuff only.

I have never understand exactly what it is that people need/desire/require out of Firefox that they find missing but which a Chrome based browser is providing them. That said, I am not remotely as interested in spending all my days and time outside of work doing a whole lot of IT work. That’s not to say I’m not interested. It’s to say I am only interested to a small degree, but not to the degree which I would say the majority of Lemmy users browsing a Firefox sub would be interested in.

Wow, yeah, private markets solve all problems. Brilliant. Also, what’s Santa bringing you this year? I hope you got great eggs from the Easter bunny! Do you occasionally knock out a tooth to leave for the fairy?

I’ve been using a Mac since 1991, so to say I’m invested in a particular OS already would be an understatement. That said, I’ve also tried Linux many times, and in the long run I’ve abandoned each of those for ridiculously simply things I think it should be able to do that will take me more time than I’m willing to lose to get that simple thing to work. I -work in IT- and I still don’t want to sped my off-time troubleshooting problems. Learning, yes. Fixing, not so much.

And whatever you do, don’t say “Apple” lest you release the banshees that somehow think Android isn’t just Google spyware. Seriously, Android core OS will end up as easily corrupted as Chrome in the long run, but sure, keep thinking it’s freedom I guess.

As an American, fuck them Russian oligarch pig fuckers. Sent money and weapons to Ukraine.

I’m optimistic. I liked Alternative & Progressive on the levels which they were offered. i.e. I liked them for what they were, which was not trying to be the original. I especially liked Progressive’s story that didn’t focus on romance but on friendship. I’m probably far too charitable a viewer, though, which is fine for me in that I often get to enjoy things that others do not find to their tastes.

Usually only after an unusual shutdown and reboot like a power outage. But for the most part it’s pretty solid. It’s definitely on an improvement on my previous attempts to do it on an iMac from 2012 that had s shit 5400 failing 2.5" HD in it. Current device is a Dell OptiPlex 2020 with 8GB RAM and 250GB SSD with 2TB external drive for media (I have a 4TB waiting in the wings to replace it). Overall, it’s fast and stable. I would say there were definite improvements when I went to a lifetime Pro account with Plex. Given that these are parts that I pay nothing for via discard and device retirement in my workplace, I’m pretty happy with the outcome.

I’m lazy and run it on an old Dell box running Windows 10.

indeed - we went from having ‘personnel’ departments to having ‘human resources’ departments - the person has been entirely eliminated in an even referential manner

It also infuriates me that when anyone says “I worked hard to build this business!” that they really are saying “I had to sacrifice my humanity to beg other people to do work that benefits me more than it benefits them.”

Imagine that the world of humans has been going on for 100s of thousands of years and the current system of economics that’s only been around for a couple of hundred years is treated like we’ve finally reached the pinnacle of how human beings should interact with each other to survive as a species, while we clearly see people in our species starving, being abused, being murdered for their race, etc.

The lie is that “Capitalism benefits everyone. And those that it doesn’t benefit aren’t trying hard enough.” Fuck that. I’ve been working regular, full time jobs all my life, and the trade offs you have to endure to keep jobs and/or advance in jobs are for things like your time with your family, your time enjoying things, your time appreciating life and other people, your perspective and views set aside to tell lies to people that work for you so you can keep your job where you must constantly lie to people that make less money than you that are often equally or more skilled than you.

Capitalism is a lie that is deeply highlighted in this thread. A lie of exploitation equaling opportunity. A lie of hoarders of wealth to convince others that they too hoard wealth at their level.

It is deeply disturbing what level of loss of being a decent human being must be discarded to keep capitalism going.

You bunch of carb addicted fat asses need to lay off the… wait… wait… ok… oh… nevermind.

I already looked up one thing and regretted it. Fool me once…

Well, I had to look up the first thing and to you sir I say good day. …I SAID… GOOD DAY.

This. SO uncomfortable without one.

Did you see they are cutting cost by removing all right-side driver cars from production and still selling in those markets with an included reaching arm for things like badging in? Hilarious.

“Can you remove the picture requirement functionality and substitute a text requirement?” Done and DONE.

Panasonic DP-UB420-K - It’s the best mid-range I could afford and find and I’m pretty happy with it. The sound on it with just a Sony stereo sound bar and stereo conversion is a lot better than any other sound coming out of any of my other devices.
