    Agreed, and definitely not advocating using another browser I think FF is the best option. I may try removing the webcompat addon and see what happens.

    You're right, for a browser meant for the masses it is probably a net benefit. I posted because I was surprised by this hidden behavior that seems better suited for a browser extension. Sneaky behavior like this is what I'm paranoid about in closed software like windows.

    To your point, Linux itself is probably the #1 example of hacky patches to work around other people's problems.

    You're probably right. I just want what's advertised: software that uses web standards to interact with servers on my behalf. Idk where this feature lands on that scale. This seems like a pre-browser-extension sort of feature that is obsolete now.

    I don't know if it's objectively stupid, but the surprise I experienced discovering that my browser has a bunch of hacks built in to fix external website problems lowers the trust I have in Firefox.

  • Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist. Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken. However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports. Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

    Any thoughts on why `cat /sys/kernel/notes` gives me: `LinuxLinuXen@ XenlinuxXen2.Xenxen-3.Xen����XenXen��&����� XenXeXeXen������XeXengenericXen Xenyes` I'm beginning to look into another issue I posted about, but this struck me as odd

    Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of. Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

    Anyone else getting random sketchy websites occasionally instead of the link in posts? Second try usually works fine.

    XC90 speed vibration

    I've been procrastinating a fix for a vibration that is speed related on my xc90. It starts around 45mph and comes and goes up to 65 or 70... I broke some stuff 'diagnosing' it, and once I fix that I'm going to take the awd driveshaft out. I'm assuming a bearing is bad, any ideas? I want to repair the driveshaft because it's really expensive to replace.

    I mean it's a pretty small city, and an even tinier Lemmy community. Anyone part of nmlug? I've been meaning to go to a meetup for a while.

    I have the unique pleasure of waiting as /usr is copied _back_ to my Ubuntu SSD after offloading it to a sea of spinning rust to save some space. Surprise surprise Ubuntu keeps almost everything in /usr these days and it didnt boot :l but hey, at least BusyBox in initramfs has my back for times like these. Can i mount a specific ext4 directory with options? the issue seems to be my attempt at using a bind mount fails while running from the ramdisk, for whatever reason it wont mount my large data drive on /data
