From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes. It is. And so was doing a big complainy rant without doing any research.
Again: if you want polite discourse, you have to open with that, not rant and get mad about it later. You set the standard, I just went along with it.
I don't believe you'd read the body of my post. As I'd never said default search engine couldn't be changed
So point is that while your saying I didnt do research what gave you that impression. My dispute is with obfuscation
It's not obfuscated if it takes less than a minute to find the answer, dude.
I liked it better the old way, but the feature isn't hidden.
ETA: My point is you don't get to complain when people reflect back the energy you put out.
The dictionary definition of obfuscation means to purposely obscure , make harder, and there is no mention of a time frame. So with the add by URL gone from settings and a limited amount of defaults search engine thats are all shit and no clear reasoning for the removal of that setting then how does that not fit the definition of obfuscation.
I definitly can complain as can you and anyone else. I am admittedly stoborn (not for stobornness sake or pride) but I have not resorted to name calling
You know, I had a big long thing about my local grocery store obfuscating the peanut butter, but I deleted it. I think I'm just gonna let this one go.
Look, dude, I think we probably caught each other at a bad time or something. I'm not generally this confrontational, and I kinda doubt you are either. I'm sorry I dragged it out so far, and I'm sorry I responded the way I did to your expression of frustration.
I'll try to be better. Have a great day, yeah?
Not a problem till next time, and you too buddy have great day
