Hahahahahahaha, you’re a… tech “miracle”! For the 10 years with Linux I’ve never uninstalled the DE by accident or otherwise, or any of the other problems you mentioned. I have fucked up my computer only once but I did it on purpose - to see what will happen. I had already created a clonezilla backup of a working system, so I was free to experiment and… I decided to uninstall both kernels (rolling and LTS) and reboot. There was no kernel panic because there was no kernel to begin with. 😆

I’ve seen those messages but I’ve always ignored them. I restart whenever I decide, not when Mozilla wants me to. 😆

No. That’s the brainwashing talking. By keeping you scared about your security, all browser developers keep you under their complete control. And with that they impose their views on what your browser should look like/behave like. But most of the time they simply remove or change options - some are visibly removed/changed, others are either hidden or in about:config and are locked, so that you can’t use them or are just rendered inoperable. Security updates are just the excuse to impose their will on you. I had it enough of Mozilla’s constant chopping the browser off, so I moved to Waterfox which brings back all options Mozilla ever removed and then some. But by the time you remember that the browser is supposed to serve you, not the other way around, it will be too late.

I’ve disabled it long ago and yet it keeps popping up on FB, YT and all other websites. Clearly “disabled” on Firefox means nothing, so… CSS.

I’ve always wondered how to remove the audio button, so I’ll use your code - thanks!

I don’t suppose you know of any CSS to permanently disable the picture-in-picture mode for all websites?

• The manually pinned literally sink somewhere behind the repeatedly pinned links from other sites, so manually is pointless. • If “force stop” and then start FFA were enough, I wouldn’t mention phone reboot. • Never heard of those but I’ll definitely try them. Thanks for the info. • If it does, I’never found it in the settings. Or, for whatever reason, it doesn’t appear on Xiaomi phones.

Reading Hadriscus’ comment below ours from 2 weeks ago, looks like the reason I abandoned the desktop FF (and went for a fork) has been moved to FFA - enorcing their view on what’s best for the user without giving the user the option to revert what they have done. Do I have to say this behavior which famous corp. reminds me of or will Mozilla think of it themselves?

Fortunately I’m safe from that bc right after I assembled my current PC (even before moving the distro to it; yes, moving, not “installing”), I entered BIOS and disabled secure boot, IPM 2.0 and pretty much everything Spyware related. Only then I booted Clonezilla and extracted from the backup image. Since I had done the same on the old PC in BIOS, that means my Arch was never installed with SB and IPM active.

On top of that the last update of BIOS nearly broke it, so I flashed it back to the more stable version the motherboard came with. And since I have no intention to update BIOS, I’m safe from all that trouble.

What do you think Ubuntu is? Microsoft’s touch in it is so obvious that only a fool would miss it.

Arch. Just dropping the dxvk/vkd3d libs in the game main dir with exe and double click. No need for bottles, crates, kegs and other warehouse ware. 😂 Just plain old simple and highly customized Wine 10.5.

There are other ways to fight ads, if it comes to that. But I won’t say what they are - just in case there are spies in our ranks.

I don’t see much of a difference between the two. That’s why now I’m uninstalling everything I use everyday and put them back as “portable” variants - downloaded as tarballs from their sites, github, or downloaded from Arch’s archive. Already did that with Telegram, Pinta and the browser, soon Audacious will meet the same fate cuz for some reason it uses GTK2, not GTK3 as it should. Plus, having them as tarballs means I can have better versions than those in mint’s repo.

Too bad that pacman can’t be used on Mint, that would be awesome!

Hahahaha, right, because the electric vacuum cleaners are soooooo safe, exploding more often than a gasoline car. 🤣 🤣 🤣

There are other things that keep me away for the android version, no matter what menu they make. Things such as: • FFA doesn’t have actual dials (like Opera for desktop and for android (OA)). Instead it pins whatever it wants on the so called “home screen” and often pins the same page 5-6 times. Bleh! • if you happen to enter a “hole” in the reception, FFA loses connection with the outside world and the only thing that helps to fix it, is to reboot the phone. This used to be a thing with OA but I reported it and they fixed it like 3-4 years ago. • doesn’t have about:config. • doesn’t have even basic customization options, like setting up custom wallpaper in the browser, like OA does. Generally, Opera devs seem to be more responsive to user suggestions. I suggested about:config for FFA at least a year ago, if not even longer than a year, people supported it but FFA still doesn’t have about:config. So at this point I’m staying with the desktop version only (+ a fork of it) bc I can customize it in any way I want.

Hehe, thank you! 🙂

Been using Arch since 2019, that has never happened to me. Apparently it’s all about the device behind the keyboard, not about pacman. 🤣

It doesn’t require much of a brain to customize wine. I just checked GE and… no wonder nothing ever runs, it has nothing. It’s literally a copy-paste of the original wine, only with a changed name. GE/original wine - 1.4-1.5 GB. My Wine - 4.3 GB. :D

This thing turned out ot be overrated and useless, just like Steam itself. I lost count of how many games won’t run with any proton (GE included), whereas they run just fine with my highly customized wine 10.5.

Republicunts are everything you can think of and wanna call them. They’re the same everywhere, only the spoken language is different.

The clown Chump turned the whole country into a circus once again… When will the Americans finally get it that Chump doesn’t belong in the WH? That fascist will eventually drag the nation into a war. It’s brewing anyway already. The pumpkin I bought 2 days ago has more IQ than him…

I installed that today. Finally! Years after GE release, I managed to install it with the help of an AI bc nobody explains anything properly, except for the AI. Hopefully with GE I’ll stop seeing 130 GB log files from Forza 5. 😂
