    Getting rid of that forced restart will at least help me personally stay more secure and get bug fixes faster

    lol I was so confused by Firefox not needing to restart that I tried running update again and then closed it myself because I thought something went wrong

    How was memory use actually reduced? I read several articles on this, but I didn’t see anyone talking about how they achieved this.

    Charlie’s still using that gamer version of Opera though. With the fake key stroke sounds enabled.

      My experience with childhood computers conditioned me to close everything instantly when I’m done with it even if it means I might have to reload the page later.

      I can tell, almost double the tabs and still no system crash ! I think it’s just discard tabs more aggressively but still, that’s better than crashing

    I swear to God, if I ever have to restart my Firefox again because snap without asking updated Firefox again in secret, I’m going to fucking lose it…

          It legitimately is. I saved 14 seconds on my boot time by removing snap. That may not sound like much but when you are just looking at a black screen for 14 seconds after getting past grub, it seems a world of difference.

        Yeah, did that already on my office computer, still gotta do that at home. However, just to ensure they’d screw over the users, they made sure that upon installing Firefox, snap would be installed again unless i sacrifice a goat.

        I so wish Ubuntu would just fuck off with snap, its awful

          Yup. Even if you add the official mozilla repos, Cannoical adds a prefix to their version so it always takes precedence over the official release. You have to pin the mozilla repo to blacklist the snapped version.

          Same goes for Thunderbird.

          I’m sure Snap has some security advantages for many users but they’ve made it so user-hostile for those who use native browser extensions or who want to automate deployments with just one packaging system.

          Anyway, rant over - fuck Snap.

        My Ubuntu installations have as step 1: install Ubuntu, step 2: remove snap

    Good to know that I am not the only one mistaking Cr1TiKaL aka MoistCr1TiKaL aka penguinz0 aka Charles Christopher White Jr. as Asmongold aka Zack Hoyt (the rightwing influencer).

      Just restarting Firefox, not the entire system.

      Which doesn’t really matter for 99.99% of users that are sane and only use a couple windows and tabs at a time. Saving things they aren’t actively using anymore as bookmarks and using the browsing history for anything they closed previously but need again.

      For the 0.01% of insane but vocal users that never close tabs and/or keep dozens of windows open, that’s a big deal.

    to be fair, i thought asmongold and penguinz0 were the same person, and that cr1tikal was a seperate, equally shit-headed person. My poor brain-- so the “woo lets go baby” guy is a decent dude? and its the other guy that has a rat corpse alarm clock? or am i still confused?

        The differences are astonishing Asmongold is pretty much a gaming and bad takes second hand streamer. Whose only identity is kissing right wing politician’s ass, even when they actively hate and attack him.

        Then Charlie is there with movie and music credits, anime and comics productions, podcasts, business ventures, and also streaming. With every single of his political takes and controversies being morally and ethically sound and consistent.

        They are like Superman and bizarro, mirror images of each other, similar but opposites at the same time.

        Oh, and asswithmold face is the most punchable face on the internet (second only to PirateSoftware’s) while Charlie’s is sculpted by the gods themselves.

    I miss the days when it was normal to just shut down the pc when you were done with it. Leaving things on all of the time isn’t healthy.

      I always turn computer off when done, it never sleeps or hibernates, no need since I’m either using it or not, through been leaving it on 24/7 at moment due to wiping some hard drives which takes time, so it’s working which is fine 😬

      When I finish what I want to do on my PC, I type “yay” enjoy text and pacmans going left to right, press enter some times, and type sudo pw some times.
      After that I reboot to check, that I am not stuck in TTY and turn off after

      Fully disagree. Just leave it on, restart it once every 7-10 days if you’re using windows. Linux, reboot when it asks, could be months.

      I leave my work machine on constantly, but am very careful and shut down my home machine when I go to bed.

      It just feels wrong to leave it powered up.
