With the list of old Windows vulnerabilities so extensive Firefox could simply just install Linux for users like that.

Most of them (I assume such VMs don't use browsers) would just click [Agree] and then [Next] a few times, never knowing what was it about, maybe not even noticing any differences.

So, basically Microsoft's "we know what's best for you" style? No. Fuck that, no matter the purpose.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I was joking.

I added the "/s" to be extra clear.
I didn't think of anyone taking that statement seriously (like how wound it even work?).

Apologies. I've seen weirder shit proposed recently. 2025 has severely damaged my sensors responsible for detecting irony, sarcasm and satire.

As for "how would it work": on systems as old as Win 7, it would be trivial to escalate privileges and install all kinds of shit.

You know there is some dude the thought removing the /s would make that a valid suggestion.

Thought virus' are real.

Fair enough.

I would do anything for Firefox to stop making a new audio sink for every tab that plays audio. Of course Chromium lets you have just one sink, so I'm just going to blame Firerox's implementation of HTML5

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago

The advantage there is that one tab can't crash the others.

I switched to Ubuntu and I regret it. I cannot for the life of me JellyFin to work. That was my main reason for getting a laptop. I use VLC to access media from my laptop to my TV now, but JellyFin was a dream and now I can't get it to work.

Post your issue on !jellyfin@lemmy.ml. That community is starved for new posts.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

I have that instance blocked.

How are you trying to run Jellyfin? What part isn't working for you?

I have it as a Docker container in Ubuntu and it works perfectly. The only trick was I had to find jellyfin's internal docker IP address to do the initial Jellyfin server setup steps.

On Linux. Still. Its names like these encouraging people to switch that help the switch along.
