This will be unpopular but I wouldn’t defederate it just for having shitty politics just like I don’t believe in defederating the “Tankie” Lemmy instances for their politics. As long as they’re not shitting up the rest of the lemmyverse like the way r/The_Donald used Reddit like a fleshlight from 2016-2019 they can have their little corner, who gives a fuck.

That’s extremely weird, I’ve never heard of Firefox not letting you browse until you update. When snap auto-updates Firefox there’s usually a notification bubble asking to close your browser to update but you can dismiss it and keep browsing in my experience.

This isnt even a unique or uncommon type of guy Lol you find these dudes everywhere at Hypebeast stores and corner store vape shops

The hate for snap on Linux forums always felt weird to me, I’ve literally never had issues with Firefox snap. I understand being frustrated with it on the principle that it feels Windows-y to force it on the system, but the Firefox snap is packaged by Mozilla and bundles the latest Mesa libraries instead of using the older libraries from the Debian repos that don’t have the latest performance fixes, so its also faster than installing through .deb. And Mozilla has Debian repos for Firefox you can add to your sources.list if you really insist. There’s also nothing preventing you from installing Flatpak and using that on Ubuntu.

/e/os can be installed on devices that can be purchased on the secondhand market for under $100. This is the opposite of “privacy only for the rich”.

I’m wondering how this will affect Linux support. Steam client on Linux depends on very old 32-bit libs from Ubuntu 12.04 (!) and is a major reason for distros keeping their 32bit support
