I'm familiar with Linux, Pop self packages Firefox and usually has the update out within a day or two. They have updated it but just not pushed the update: update - no release

Maybe they just forgot.

 

Hello beautiful people, Firefox is currently over 2 weeks out of date which is concerning as it containes cve patches. Pop is usually quick with these updates, is the update going to be pushed any time soon? Thanks.

Hi Justin, Steam seems to validate your machine using some hardware info as removing or adding even unrelated disks will cause an unlink even if the home directory remains entirely intact, I'm not sure if it's a bug or intended behaviour but it definitely does happen and why I was hoping just a reformat of the unrelated disk would still pass those hardware checks.

Changing hardware definitely unlinks it as I've had to relink it every time I remove or add a hard drive or ssd.

 

I'm unsure if this is a Linux specific issue but when I add or remove a hard drive steam will unlink family share which is a hassle to relink, I know it's a niche question but does anyone know if reformatting a disk or partition will also cause an unlink? Thank you in advance.

Hey Michael (huge fan), will this switch the automatic fetching channel in the settings tab also?

 

Hello wonderful people! I installed pop while running nvidia then switched to AMD, I have uninstalled and purged all nvidia packages however my recovery partition still fetches updates via the nvidia channel; is there a safe way to switch the channel to amd/Intel?

p.s. is it worth doing a full reinstall of pop after switching from nvidia to amd? I'm unsure if there will be any dormant configurations/packages that could cause minor issues even if no serious issue has shown itself yet.

Do I have to pay a social media tax to interact with it?

I don't think MS implemented it.

Their decision is detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3

Whether they implement in web search is speculation

Sorry if it wasn't clear from my original comment but yes this is speculation for the future.

Are you suggesting people should roll over and take it

I'm suggesting people aren't going to be given the choice if this is actually pushed through to the full extent that Google is hoping. Fighting against it is obviously the right move but it doesn't hurt to imagine a future where that fighting has no meaningful effect.

because all this side debate is doing nothing useful.

Not all discussions are a debate, and these discussions need to be had.

If Google is pushing a feature to secure higher ad revenue they're obviously going to implement it on their own services such as search. As for Bing Microsoft have implemented Manifest v3 in Edge and it's unlikely they will skip out on Web Integrity. Time will tell but it's likely Firefox will be pushed into supporting it.

It is based on them being wholly funded by Google, I think it is helpful to point that out when we are talking about them biting the hand that feeds them. If Google does in fact force this upon you to use their services then Google search will be part of that and Google search is where Mozilla makes a vast majority of its funding.

I fear Mozilla will oppose it right up until they implement it, they know who butters their bread and their CEO has a hunger for loafs.

The same thing is present in Jerboa, it seems to just be the way that Lemmy works.
