With knives.... thought that meant they were planning on 'fighting' it.

The picture missed Google's hand of money paying Firefox

I avoid it like the plague. Only a few people know my stance and as far as I am aware of its only people that interact with me outside of the internet. I'm not looking to change my mind and others aren't either. Changing one person to my thinking won't change anything and me changing to someone else's thinking won't change anything.

Congratulations to a partnerships success coming from Google's payment being Firefox's main source of income.....

Running into an issue where I have no internet connection. I've put iwd so I cam use iwctl for the wifi, enabled iwd.service, syatemd.resolv service and not sure what else i need to do. Ethernet doesn't work either but i didnt change the settings to UP on it since i wasnt planning on using it. Did chroot from what I read in the manual and no errors that I saw during the base install. Just trying to find the best way to fix lack of internet connectivity so any guidance on the issue would be appreciated.

Installing the Arch way and is new for me and this is the farthest I've gotten. I used to use the archinstall in the past but I'm not using that anymore.

Firefox and Google (lemmy.world)

Curious what others' thoughts are about the monopoly ruling for Google and potential effects on Firefox. Last I knew the fix was not determined yet, but with Firefox's main source of income being from Google paying them to Goolge their default search, makes me wonder if lawsuits like this could actually backfire on current competition and not actually produce a more competitive environment. Not sure how Firefox could recover if the courts ruling would be Google can't make these deals.

Locate command. I know it's a command in thw terminal but since I had to apt install it I'm adding it here.

I absolutely love it.

Online trends I saw on the internet was the reason I hopped around multiple terminals. Use case for me it made no difference.

There's 4 other terminals I did enjoy using but xterm became my go to after I got tired of hopping around.

The biggest issue I have with your points are you can apply that same logic to all kinds of absurdity. Pick one or create one and it applies.

I also disagree with you that it is a healthier mindset to believe in essentially an unlimited amount of possibilities (unlimited because you can't define an unknown in this case) but whether something is healthier or not is not a factual statement. It is just a subjective statement that is based too much on the individual and the mental status of that individual to determine if it is healthy or not. I could argue that it was unhealthy to believe in what I used to believe(specifically evangelical/Protestant Christianity) because of my underlining condition of dealing with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression, but that claim of being unhealthy doesn't hold much weight because again, it depends on the mental state of an individual.

For myself, yes I am an atheist and yes if I come across evidence that convinces me differently then my views will change, but that doesn't make my current stance any different or say weaker as some weak atheism(I find that term laughable), especially when I don't have the knowledge of what that evidence would be to convince me.

Also remember, theories are believed to be true until proven wrong when it comes to science. The word theory is used differently in science then in colloquial type of discussions. So for example, just because we believe the theory of evolution is fact, that doesn't mean we think a creation story myth is possible because we use the phrase, theory of evolution. I bring that up only because, the fact science has changed in the past doesn't mean we can't believe our current understanding as fact.

The word atheist is just a term for a rejection of a specific proposition. There's no reason why that would logically need a purpose. We find purpose elsewhere.

For me it's the ability to use my hardware as long as I want after a tech company's EOL. When I was on Windows 7 and it reached EOL my machine was unusable. Couldn't go back because I waited to long. Then I updated my machine and Windows 10's EOL was set and again, machine will be not be safe to use. I switched to Linux before that release date but the way Microsoft does with these EOL dates, for me isn't sustainable. I dont need to buy a new machine every few years. I want my machines to be a usable and secure for as long as I want it to with minimal impact to my finances and stop simply just throwing old machines away. And if I run into a distro that my machine isn't beefy enough for, I have distro-hopped around enough to be able to go to something else but still be in the Linux-verse.

The stuff like, better for privacy, open source etc., those benefits came after.
