Re: Curiosity: why do so many people only use Linux on old hardware?
New to the forums here (I am sure this will age well...). This may have been discussed before, but I am curious about why so many people only use Linux (any flavour) on old hardware. You forgot to ask why Linus users are old men. They use old hardware, they used free software, they used classic des...

Re: Microsoft trying to get youtube-dl repo back online?
This is actually quite shocking, because MSFT is like the king of proprietary. I have never seen them standing for an open source project :shock: But they always standing for themselfs. GitHub is subsidiary of Microsoft. The RIAA is actually an opponent of Microsoft. Who will win? Popcorn time. Mic...

Re: Linux mint to get linux kernel 5.10
@bigEasy So, all the old services that are removed and they were security vulnerabilities does not affect you I suppose? Better ask me what vulnerability is? A vulnerability, for example, is when my Nvidia suddenly stops working because of a kernel update. Also being an LTS kernel version is also i...

Re: Smart TV's have hidden cameras inside.
No, not 1984. 0001. Yes it started in around 2000 when the smart tv's came out i was referring to the movie and book 1984 I believe that BigEasy is not referring to 2000, 20001 til present but might just be referring to the beginning of time, as in this has always been the case with spying on other...

Re: Why is the website so fugly?
Truth is though, with the ocean of distros grabbing at your attention optics do matter and the website looking like it's from 2006 really doesn't do Mint any favors in that department. The truth is that sooner or later you will realize that "new" does not mean "better". And phpB...

Re: Firefox loses 250 employees - will development quality go down?
For the past few years each version of FF seemed to be slightly harder to use than the previous versions, so I'm hoping the loss of employees will result in a decrease of shiny new bad ideas. Isn't the CEO generating any new ideas? If we see a problem, we need to look at CEO. https://en.wikipedia.o...

Re: Firefox/Mozilla
The thing is, that only the big browsers are secure browsers. Because only their makers have the money and manpower to keep browser security up to date. Do you mean those browsers that have enough money for telemetry that cannot be switched off in an obvious way and which records and send to an unk...

Re: Firefox/Mozilla
Huh. I don't see it listed anywhere in the Google Play Store. 68 is the latest available version. Are you certain you had a legitimate Mozilla program? I'm sure. Google play store is not the whole Android universe. I trust some sources of old apk-files.... My 68 is real. Wait! Why Google play store...
