They had two things going for them… Decent linux support and non-shitty DRM ink/toner

I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.

Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)

I’ve been using NC since single digit version numbers

The performance increase on v30 is VERY noticeable, especially loading photos.

So now we have to look both ways AND up to make sure some moron doesnt drop a car on my head?

Fuck that noise…

There are millions of people out there who do 99% of their stuff in browser, and never need the newest shiniest features for graphics, or gaming or whatever. Plasma 5.27 works great for years. People only get fomo if they follow this stuff constantly. And most people dont. Lemmy/linux is a very niche gathering of nerds

To say that debian is not a good daily driver for most people, i still disagree for the above reasons

I’m not a professional or anything, but i get my basic photo and video editing just fine on debian.

For example, i used to chase all the latest and greatest digikam versions because “ooooh! New features!!”… In hindsight, there was nothing really that groundbreaking each update, and i just go back to using the core features that have been stable for years.

but I wouldn’t recommend it on a computer you’re actively using

Debian is my daily driver on all my computers. Servers, desktop, laptop. Its called the universal operating system for a reason

Packages are regularly updated with bug fixes for security issues. Do you absolutely need the latest features for every software? Debian is fine unless theres some killer new feature you absolutely need.

Hardware support is mostly fine unless you have the absolute latest hardware (which OP doesnt). And backport kernels should take care of newer hardware

I am in NO WAY interested in typography AT ALL and i found helvetica to be a super interesting documentary

And the sountrack made me a fan of el ten eleven

You want stable and no snaps.

Debian

This will accelerate riscv adoption and be the end of arm

Or at least their $180B market cap

It’s Luigi time!

Pure greed. TSMC built tons of capacity since the pandemic, RAM makers have cut back production because of low prices.

There is tons of capacity out there to make more graphics cards, even including all the big data centers using them for AI. but i guess its more profitable to only sell cards to rich gamers and AI companies at inflated prices

only one of those two is stable genius!

sure nvidia is being a shitty and greedy public corp capitalizing on a massive tech bubble… stock price has to go up forever. nothing surprising here…

but jensen huang has been at the helm of nvidia for a long time the entire existence of nvidia and is undeniably a smart MF’er… and i’m not even some kind of nvidia fanboy.

AMD for life… and dr. lisa su is even smarter than cousin jensen. i just hope she doesn’t come out as a trump bootlicker as well

imagine being as smart as jensen huang and having to talk to a big orange baby…

trump’s circle is generally sycophantic morons like musk and zuck. jensen might actually be the smartest person trump has ever talked to

Same problem in toronto… We have a building called the SkyDome, but everyone misspells it Robbers Center…

Docker doesnt replace your current system. It just runs containers (which act like a separate system)

You can also try podman which wont silently rewrite your firewall rules without telling you… I’ll never forgive docker for doing that
