Smokers hope cancer reaches only 'bad people'

Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.

Well... It's the opposite... People affected by this issue could not boot Linux...

Freedom and free market, they say

Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump’s team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.

Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.

whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed.

Here is your issue

It has nothing to do with Linux at all. It's all about the browsers configurations you made

Arch wasn't affected at all, cause the backdoor trigger was only on deb and rpm distros.

However it still a good practice to update your system and leave this version behind. Anyway, Arch already updated and is no longer distributing the backdoor version, therefore 5.6.1-3 is safe

You can use Arch btw again. Actually, you never had to leave it at first

Well... If you're a persona non grata in a genocidal country, you must be doing something right

Never

Free on free software stands for freedom, not for free of charge.

Someone is paying for foss somehow. Maybe it's the dev with his time and effort, maybe is an enterprise, maybe it's a few fellows that contribute financially.

So yes, we should normalize paying for foss.

Not chromium based. I think it's important to have alternatives to chromium-based browsers and Google's monopoly.

If Firefox vanishes, I'll use Epiphany instead.

Complex and recent games run on Linux these days.

Not allowing run a game in Linux is, nowadays, a choice from its developer rather then a causality. Proton is a really powerful tool!

If a game don't run in Linux, via Proton or natively, that's dev issue that actively blocked Linux.
