So vindicated.

Given your post history, are you taking the piss or something? You’ve been here for three hours and already have like 25 LLM slop posts. All you do is obvious AI garbage.

Look at how they’re a one-day-old account spamming the everloving fuck out of Lemmy and using obvious LLM-isms. If not an autonomous bot, then absolutely LLM slop being posted by a human.

For a solid 10 seconds, I was transported to a reality where Mozilla shunted development of Rust off to some random studio who were removing Linux support because it wasn’t in the budget.

Wow, this is so true. I’m going to stop maintaining my relationships because anyone I know could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’m also done with that stupid coursework, because what if I suffer a catastrophic brain injury that makes me forget everything I learned? I’m going to go rob a bank because the police could come and frame me for murder any day now. And I think I’m going to go jump off a cliff because death comes for us all anyway.

Sage advice, raoul.

Mozilla lists the minimum requirements for Firefox 144 as “1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster compatible processor or System on a Chip (SoC)” and 1 GB of RAM.

• 32-bit Pentium III and 4 will support up to 4 GB of RAM, but it’s going to be dogshit slow.
• 1 GHz is clearly a simplification for a more complex metric and very obviously doesn’t have in mind a Pentium III 1400 @ 1.4 GHz.

As for Pentium 4, you need to qualify that, because Pentium 4 wasn’t exclusively 32-bit – only the earlier ones were. Cedar Mill and many Prescotts supported Intel 64. So we’ll assume a generous case that someone is using something like a Pentium 4 505, where “capable of running” probably still isn’t the same as “running decently on any modern website”.

• macOS 10.15 required for Firefox 144, so no macOS users.
• Windows 10 is EOL, and even then, 22H2 doesn’t officially support it.
  • Firefox 144 does not support Windows 7, 8, or 8.1.
  • Windows 11 straight-up will not boot with that CPU.

So you’re left with Linux or BSD. Firefox’s Linux requirements are fairly lax, so we can assume you’re not running into compat issues. That leaves you with someone who:

1. Is using a CPU manufactured around 2004 or earlier.
2. Is on Windows 10 32-bit (despite EOL) Linux, or BSD.
3. Specifically wants to use Firefox.

That’s such an obscenely negligible percentage of people (and will keep falling off a cliff as that hardware dies out and fewer applications support it) that, combined with the terrible UX of a modern web browser on that hardware, the baggage that comes with not assuming 64-bit can’t be justified.

Another comically pathetic attempt to compensate for cars’ ridiculous inefficiencies.

A big part of that attitude is simply that you’re more likely to take care of those big tasks you’ve been putting off when you’re on the upswing away from depression. So it feels good unto itself, but you’re probably also in a mood that’s more conducive to feeling rewarded than a deep depression.

TL;DR: Cause and effect feeding off of each other.

Get that first week of Macroecon 101 shit out of here before I go into outrage withdrawal.

No average user would be able to look up what commands to run? Because newsflash: unlike Windows, searching for a common problem on Linux normally turns up a solution written by a human who knows what they’re talking about.

“Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet, but this one edge case on Linux requires like two terminal commands (the sudo -i is totally superfluous if you just put sudo in front of commands) instead of installing an entire separate tool you’ll ever use one time like on Windows and which an average user wouldn’t even know exists. Therefore Linux is more complicated.”

Incidentally, here’s what Microsoft officially recommends for the “average user” regarding PowerToys:

It’s insane how nose-blind Windows users are to how user-unfriendly their OS is.

you dislike clarity

If you can’t read the title in the OP and immediately understand what it means, that says more about your reading comprehension than it does about how much I like clarity.

I agree your title is better – just that the original commenter is being needlessly pedantic instead of meaningfully discussing the article’s subject.

If you want to be needlessly pedantic about a title everyone understood: no, that’s not what the title says. It says two [people are] dead after being found in flooded basements. It does not at any point say when they died – just that they were dead after being found.

More specifically, it does not ever say they were not dead before being found. If I say “Julius Caesar is dead after 9/11”, it’s absolutely true; he was and has been in a state of death following the 9/11 attacks.

If you want to play pedant, don’t assume you’re playing alone.
