lol I was so confused by Firefox not needing to restart that I tried running update again and then closed it myself because I thought something went wrong
WHAT??? ALL OF THOSE FEATURES HAVE BEEN IN NIGHTLY FOR A MONTH AND I STILL ALWAYS RESTART IT OUT OF HABIT! IT’S LITERALLY PART OF MY ROUTINE AND NOW YOU TELL ME IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE ANYMORE?
I swear to God, if I ever have to restart my Firefox again because snap without asking updated Firefox again in secret, I’m going to fucking lose it…
You’re going to lose Snap? That is an option, you know.
Yeah, did that already on my office computer, still gotta do that at home. However, just to ensure they’d screw over the users, they made sure that upon installing Firefox, snap would be installed again unless i sacrifice a goat.
I so wish Ubuntu would just fuck off with snap, its awful
Yup. Even if you add the official mozilla repos, Cannoical adds a prefix to their version so it always takes precedence over the official release. You have to pin the mozilla repo to blacklist the snapped version.
Same goes for Thunderbird.
I’m sure Snap has some security advantages for many users but they’ve made it so user-hostile for those who use native browser extensions or who want to automate deployments with just one packaging system.
Anyway, rant over - fuck Snap.
Fully agreed, fuck snap
to be fair, i thought asmongold and penguinz0 were the same person, and that cr1tikal was a seperate, equally shit-headed person. My poor brain-- so the “woo lets go baby” guy is a decent dude? and its the other guy that has a rat corpse alarm clock? or am i still confused?
you are correct
…
I miss the days when it was normal to just shut down the pc when you were done with it. Leaving things on all of the time isn’t healthy.
I leave my work machine on constantly, but am very careful and shut down my home machine when I go to bed.
It just feels wrong to leave it powered up.
When I finish what I want to do on my PC, I type “yay” enjoy text and pacmans going left to right, press enter some times, and type sudo pw some times.
After that I reboot to check, that I am not stuck in TTY and turn off afterFully disagree. Just leave it on, restart it once every 7-10 days if you’re using windows. Linux, reboot when it asks, could be months.
I always turn computer off when done, it never sleeps or hibernates, no need since I’m either using it or not, through been leaving it on 24/7 at moment due to wiping some hard drives which takes time, so it’s working which is fine 😬
