They're not pissed at lack of updates really, but at features that feel anti-consumer, such as always-on telemetry and opt-out AI
Then they should say that instead.
@Omodi @gwl all you people in this side thread are completely missing the point. and you're not contributing anything here. No one wants your "Im sure there's a way to block update notifications" BS responses There isn't. And that's not the point.
I don't want to do your maintenance. I don't want to read Firefox update release notes. I DON'T WANT TO FIND WORKAROUNDS FOR MY SOFTWARE.
The POINT is developers don't understand consent OR security if they think the end user update solves security.
It sounds like he doesn't want update notifications. I'm sure that that's possible, but I've no idea what sort of update notification he's upset about. Could be from some kind of package manager, Firefox itself, whatever. He might also have a nightly build version installed or something, when he could benefit from extended support version.
@gwl @tal No, wrong. I'm literally tired of being asked every goddamn day to update. When I told you "NO" I MEANT FUCKING NO.
All that other tripe is annoying too, but what I really want is for fucking coders to learn what consent actually means.
A browser is something that you should keep updated. I'm fully aware of the "Remind me in next time" trap that a lot of tracking and data harvesting is shoved behind, but just update your fucking browser dude. Sometimes, the developers actually know better than the users.
@flx no.
@flx oh, and fuck the developers too
