STOP. UPDATING. (mstdn.social)

@firefox STOP. UPDATING.

The browser was done TEN YEARS AGO. There is literally ZERO FUCKING JUSTIFICATION for you pushing updates EVERY GODDAMN DAY.

Fucking KNOCK IT OFF. WE DON'T WANT YOUR AI FUCKING GARBAGE.

This is why you're losing to a fucking fork.

You were supposed to be defenders of the faith, not fucking corporate whore sellouts like Google.

I'm sure that whatever platform you're on lets you not update if you want.

I wouldn't advise that from a security standpoint, but if you're set on it...

[-] gwl 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Omodi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Then they should say that instead.

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 oh, and fuck the developers too

No? Firefox is way behind and even if it wasn’t, the browser is an enormous attack surface so they have to keep improving security.

@Anarki_ nah, just a garden variety hyperbolic rant. When I actually melt down, things break. There is typically crying, and not from me.

And this is why people should talk less to LLMs: you're losing the ability to parse hyperbole, irony, and satire.

[-] Anarki_ 2 points 1 month ago

I don't even talk to clankers. You just seem shouty 🤷

If you want security updates, but not necessarily the latest features, there is always Firefox ESR.

[-] wyatt_h_knott@mstdn.social 3 points 1 month ago

@folekaule I actually use libre wolf when I care

@wyatt_h_knott @firefox
What they said.
Way to many updates and the containers make the updates very disruptive ... the total opposite of what *nix updates are supposed to be.
