For that pun you can fucking bee-low me.

Yes, shithead, the IT professionals tasked with setting up government computers do in fact know how to install a fucking browser extension.

That will absolutely include government accounts.

Google would get instagibbed.

Nah, not dumb at all. YouTube’s being super dicks about it but the uBlock Origin team seems to only be about half a tick behind with getting updates out.

“I have my ad blocker set to not block ads and Google isn’t complaining about me blocking ads.”

rilly.

IF? Are you paying attention to what’s going on with Chrome?

Google is introducing a bullshit system that will ultimately let them control what the browser can and can’t display.
They are working to eliminate ad blockers entirely.

Their entire fucking goal is to lock down YOUR FUCKING BROWSER so they can send you any ads they want, at any time they want, without them even having to be served through a website. They also want to push their “security” bullshit so that if you’re using a non-Chrome browser you get excluded from the internet.

And right now the overwhelming majority of browsers are Chrome based.

The EU will likely not let this happen, but the US has no balls when it comes to carving up shitbags these days.

At points they’ve updated multiple times per day.

Fully blocking only if you aren’t using uBlock Origin, which you just have to update the filters on.

Complete waste of effort.

Alphabet needs to be broken up.

“In my country.” Look dude, if you live in a shit country that gets like nine GPUs per year and they’re all stupidly expensive then say that in your post so you don’t waste people’s fucking time.

It’s all about PayPal, isn’t it?

Holy fucking shit.

PayPal is Musk’s Obama burn.

PayPal shitcanned him because he’s a fucking idiot so he takes that money, gets SpaceX going and memes Tesla to success by sheer accident. At the point everyone’s thinking he’s “Rill Loaf Toony Sturk” he’s STILL fucking boiling that PayPal canned him because he’s actually terrible at everything. He then proceeds to start sniffing his own farts, building rescue submarines that would never work, calling people “pedo guys”, impregnating every woman that will take the payoff to have his moron seed implanted in them, moving to Texas and wearing a fucking cowboy hat to show how much of a REEL MAYUN he is (despite the fact that fucking nobody wears a cowboy hat in this state outside of actual cowboys and people that want to announce that they’re fucking idiots to everyone).

He renames Twitter to X so trigger his nostalgia balls and then a few months later announces he’s going to replace banks with X. Which would also, theoretically, replace PayPal.

He really is nothing more than a little bitch that happens to have money.

Elon literally wants an underclass of peasants that owe him money so he can ship them off to Mars and act as his indentured servants.

The man is a fucking idiot.

I left waaaaay back when they decided that everyone had to have their shitty launchers and logins and basically turned into Autodesk.

I deal with one Autodesk at a time. And it’s Autodesk.

But I thought the open nature of open source meant it was safe because someone has checked all code everywhere!

This shit has become tedious.

Only in Linux Land would “daily desktop tips” include “REINSTALL YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM FOR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FEATURES.”

Unless you’re Ubuntu, apparently.

I’m sorry, are we talking about shit that users do or are we talking about masturbatory sysadmin jizzcup filler? Because it seems like you’re not paying attention to the conversation, which is that Ubuntu doesn’t even let users install .deb packages through the fucking package manager.

“Provided you choose the right distro.”

Yeah. Windows or MacOS if you actually want to do shit.

EDIT
Just wanted to mention, I’ve never had an issue with Windows or MacOS that wasn’t directly caused by my own personal fuckery. Somehow though, I’ve had multiple Linux distro installs decide to hose themselves because they didn’t update through the precious fucking package manager properly. You know, the thing that everyone is now shitting on users for not using?

The most fun one was whenever a Debian update decided that the right thing to do was move my primary drive into a subfolder in /etc. Yeah. That fucking happened.

Goalpost moving fuck.

Not there to make a profit? Then why the fuck do all of the major distros have donation pages, and shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people? Stop fucking acting like mainstream Linux distros are still Slackware equivalent one-man operations. That’s horseshit and you fucking know it.
