If anyone ever had a friend who never had anything good happen to them and you wonder if something is up with them mentally...totally the same vibes as this post
Is this real? Literally never seen anything this bad myself. Granted I don't use Excel or many other ms products. GitHub copilot would literally never be this bad though
Yeah this reminds me of the time I argued with a guy who stood firmly by the opinion that because Facebook has terms of service that people agreed to, there was nothing wrong or unethical about Facebook business practices and everyone who used it deserved what they got
My windows install enjoys rebooting itself unexpectedly a lot. There is no chance I ever checked a box that said "update then reboot my computer at some time in the future"
So what you're hand waving away here is legalese and how no one can understand much of it even if they did read it. Absolutely no one reads every page of the 50 you're required to sign when buying a house, for example.
But we have trust that society wouldn't allow us to buy a house if people are hiding sneaky shit in the contractual language. Yes we have a few things like variable interest rates but no one is signing away their privacy rights in perpetuity in exchange for the chance to buy a home. We have a society that gives us certain expectations, and quite often those are met.
No, to use a computer we should not have to read 100 pages of documents and understand all of them. It's impractical and that's illustrated by the fact that billions of people so far haven't read any of that shit.
You are right that we ought to be more careful signing stuff, but that's a separate discussion imo. We shouldn't even have the option legally of accidentally agreeing to such self sabotage
There is no fucking way Firefox is that unpopular, but actually yeah it's trivial to argue that browser choice is hanging by a thread and it's not a good thing
You're right except button images. That wasn't a thing. But you could change fonts which I'd forgotten. My point though is that the things they let you change were pretty limited.
Yeah I think some PCs came with Plus bundled/pre-installed. I got a copy from a friend at one point years into the 98 era, but otherwise never used Plus.
Yeah... I wonder if it's a specific desktop environment. although I thought people generally considered gnome on the slow side but that's what my pi runs pretty decently
Your experience matches mine more than op's. In fact I have a super shitty old laptop running gnome on fedora with a 32gb drive and I think 4 GB of RAM, maybe less, and it still sounds better than the experience they're claiming to have had with 6 gb ram.
Yeah, I'm with you there, but I'm also a believer in having a little more ram than you need. After a couple of decades of feeling that occasional bottleneck it seems like a relatively cheap prevention measure.
You think the profile feature is a popular reason to use chrome? I have been using the Internet since mid 90s and I never once used it on any browser until last year. No issues with it on FF btw
So in your mind this meme is talking shit because somehow extensions are objectively inferior? Extensions are great because not everyone has the same preferences. To me this meme doesn't at all criticize Firefox, as this is a valid choice faced with many features.
I don't know of a case where anything is "relying on extensions". The extensions I use are almost all for something not everyone wants/needs. And I use a lot, which is a good thing imo. I can disable or replace extensions that no longer do what I want or I no longer need.

You might want to upgrade it with a graphics card tho, because you're limited to 75hz above 1080p, but it isn't worth it that much. ( lemmy.world )
