>because there are 18 different grounding pin configurations in the EU?
There are three? Danish, Italian, and Schuko. French have their own bullshit connector but Schuko connectors can mate with either the french standard or the german one.
Older commie era houses may also have non-recessed, unearthed plugs but those are compatible with both europlug and schuko (sans grounding).

computers do not need to read content like humans, they just compute. it's the application responsibility to display human readable content. the less you send over the wire, the better.
a json is very bloated, if you need maximum efficiency just send a binary file with information already encoded so there is no need for encode and decode a json.

I've been using Icecat for a while (I use Arch BTW), but the guy who provided the binaries got turbo cancer or something, so the icecat-bin package from the AUR has been out of date for a while, and I'm not going to compile it myself. I know this is asked often but should I switch to Ungoogled Chromium?
>Why not use regular Firefox?
Because I don't like the direction it's taking, so might as well choose the lesser evil. This isn't necessarily because of muh AI, but Mozilla itself doesn't seem to care about their browser anymore, even if they claim it's still their flagship product.
>Just use a fork
I've been considering it as well, but then I'd be still using Firefox, so refer to the previous point.

So my question is, how does UC compare to FF in terms of security and privacy? I use arkenfox with my Icecat profile, can you "harden" UC to a similar level? As for content blocking, you can still use uBO with UC, so that's the least of my concerns (lion shills gtfo).
https://github.com/r58Playz/uBlock-mv3
So for those of you who use UC, how is it? What's your general experience with it? And for the other 2 guys in the entire board using Icecat as well, will you keep on using it?

Use Trisquel's Abrowser, it's basically GNU IceCat with no extensions and it's based on main firefox instead of firefox-esr

Since you're on arch, I would recommend creating an ubuntu or a debian container then running this script i wrote:
https://pastebin.com/vWyBaEyq
After running this, you should have the trisquel repository and then simply install abrowser with "sudo apt install abrowser"

kek what a shitty distro. just install the guix package manager and install icecat that way

If you want a Firefox fork:
Mullvad browser
Librewolf
Abrowser
Ironfox

If you want a chromium fork:
Ungoogled chromium
Brave
Cromite
Vanadium
Trivalent

Browsers not based on either won't work for most people.

Yes there's, if your graphical environment crashes then you essentially get locked out of your system, and if the problem is persistent with reboots then you can't fix the problem because it requires you to have root access to some config file in /etc.
The only way I see to fix a situation like this is to chroot and fix it from a live USB

You have pkttyagent for that. It's part of the default polkit build.

Most of those years, everyone thought they were useless. Only recently like halfway through 2025 did it hit critical mass. I had a feeling then that the end was nigh. When ledditors are posting about it then it's over. That's my bellweather. I don't look at other social media so maybe there are other indicators. I spent hundreds this summer in anticipation of the end. Knocked off a few things from my wishlist. My normal activity is a few dollars a month at most.

There was actually a pretty big nerf in the early days too. It was a lot more powerful before the first big change to how it works.

>Only recently like halfway through 2025 did it hit critical mass.
I felt like coins were a big thing even before that, but maybe I missed it. I don't know the AliExpress masses. I'm genuinely getting less than $1 in coin discounts on items that are $70ish. These same items I got like 10 off before.

It just seems so sudden, it's not some sort of glitch or app error right? This is just how it is now? I can't make sense of it

Those RAM sticks you were looking at has now gone up from $300 to $3000? Who cares, just buy it. Why save? In 2026, AI is going to make you super wealthy like Elon Musk, so there's no need to save.

Things won't be scarce at all, you just won't have any money to buy them.

Plenty of things aren't scarce at all, like food. It's just being wasted because capitalists would rather throw away perfectly good food instead of giving it out for free. AI shenanigans will not change that. Isn't it interesting how Melon Husk and his peers tell you that a great post scarcity utopia is right around the corner while they're hoarding resources, money, and building doomsday bunkers?

Used to be that I had to mess a lot with Linux to get a usable system and Windows just worked.
Now I have to mess with Chris Titus tool shit and microwin just to carve the trash out of windows and get something banal like a local account. All of that with the chance that a future feature update (which security updates are tied to now) reintroduces all of it or breaks things.
On the other end Linux just works, and thanks to proton, dxvk et al. this includes gaming.
