All of my favorite browsers are forks of Firefox. Lately it’s been Zen browser. Watching Firefox smoulder and collapse over the years has been truly painful and makes me fear a chromium future in hell.

Ha, good response. Didn’t know people got comic books on Kindle. Thought the point was having/collecting the physical ones.

What’s the @#%^ing point, honestly

Genuine question: Why are Adobe clients not holding pitchforks and standing outside their offices every day for the past 2 years?

That’s more of a you problem.

give up gaming

What? Most games run better on Linux

I just want Microsoft gone.

Takes deep breath

MmmmmmBULLSHIII

Huh. I don’t actually think I said any of that. Sorry I made you feel that way.

I take it back- I guess I did.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. I’ve got hobbies that may not interest you, but I feel un-hindered by being off the big platforms. Different generation maybe.

Sure! I didn’t know when I bought it that I’d come to this conclusion, but I learned over time. Been about 4 years or so since I bought it.

I agree. That was why I originally bought the damned thing. Once I saw what it was doing on my network I decided “nope, that’s enough from you” and reset it. I’m not saying people who also bought it and continue to use it as intended are dumb, I’m suggesting the device itself and what it does is evil.

My Roku TV’s been reset to factory and not allowed on the internet for a few years now. It’s a TV. It displays shit that I give it over HDMI. If you desire more than that you’re part of the problem. I work in IT and that’s why my home has physical locks, a 30 year old thermostat, and cameras I own with recordings on a DVR I own.

I’m not even surprised any more. I take a bold guess at what absolutely hideous shit I’ll read today and I’m still always surprised.

You’re delusional. Have a nice day though.

Good news! The original comment provides that!

software that does actions without the user’s permission or knowledge

Do you trust Microsoft? If you do I might suggest we find you a nice quiet padded room.

Imagine someone attempted to (or even succeeded in) pushing malicious (or even just poor, “bad” code into the kernel. What do you suppose would happen? Oh wait we don’t have to imagine. Some people tried, and got admonished publicly.

That word is MALWARE
