If you're using any of the myriad of apps based on Electron I have some bad news.
What is this photo? Whatβs he wearing on his chest? Looks like some weird PCB with buttons?
Looks neat, I hope itβs real, but I suspect itβs AIGI.
Look at the perspective near his hands, either it's the most crooked console ever or it's AI
If I had a setup like that, I'd start a streaming or video career just to show it off

"Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?"
"Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?"
"Are you sure?"
FUCK OFF, I'M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY'S WEBSITE DOESN'T WORK WITH FIREFOX
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.
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...
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.

A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one βInstallβ button in an app store):
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...
FOR EACH PROGRAM
These days if I can't install it with winget I'm not installing it
Windows users removing spyware and telemetry while bragging about not having to touch a terminal.

Is this a Firefox reference?
That looks badass and the perfect advert for Firefox (the browser)
Somehow I think people here aren't into Soviet propaganda movies
I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.
Shoveling in RAM like coal into a furnace
Missed opportunity to say βinstalling NVIDIA driversβ instead π€£
Lies, linux user would use firefox or something more libre over chrome
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.
