How do you scream “We’re bleeding money” without saying it? Invent new ways to fleece your existing user base.
Tack this on to their new price tier plans and get a better picture of their current problems.

Understood. Only thing I could think of is that interpreted my make menu_config line as referencing linux from scratch.
Fun fact: In the 90s, everyone had to compile a kernel using menu_config or menuconfig configurator. It didn’t matter if you ran red hat or slackware or debian, they all had you configure your kernel on some form back then.
We would often download the latest kernel overnight from a bbs or mirror site beforehand days before installing because you often needed the latest kernel to get your hardware working.
Anyway, no worries. I was just confused by your response.

I didn’t even mention a single distro and I’'m literally using slackware right now, so no idea why you replied like this.

Yeah, I was afraid to respond similarly thinking shit, I’ll start naming rare or abandoned distros if I do.
Linux dude since slackware make menu_config;make modules modules_install

on Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonical in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
I absolutely loathe WSL at work. Users with local non-AD connected systems (which bypass GPOs) install it, then start making highly insecure configurations that result in PII nightmares.
It’s a goddamned cancer riddled bastard child of Linux and Windows that needs the Ol’ Yeller treatment.

You’d be surprised how many installs of OneDrive and Google Drive there are on Linux.
It’s free object storage after all.

Not really something new… Firefox already does this under its built-in strict enhanced tracking protection.
Manually setting it on firefox:

Shared from Toronto, unsure of source, still funny.
