First, this would be a better question to ask in a Linux specific community.

Second, Build time is really subjective to the computer and its hardware. There could be bottlenecks at the cpu/memory from the motherboard that will slow it down. It also depends on whether you’re spinning rust or using an ssd.

There are a lot of factors involved in the whole that makes it hard to definitively say how long something takes to build.

You’re right, it is probably an anti-privacy thing. God forbid they can’t do the telemetry and other nefarious that they do

This is just another attempt by Micro$uck to make everyone use their email services. Micro$uck doesn’t want any competition, they want to rule the computer world

One thing to look at is you are self-hosting on a local tower turned server.

If you are using a hosting provider, most of them offer domain name registration through their company.

The problem with the US is even if we had a consumer lobby, which I don’t think we do, we would be overrun by the big corporate lobbies in a matter of seconds.

The only people that get listened to by our government are those who have the big money to control members of congress. We are supposed to have a government for the people by the people but instead we have a government for the rich by the rich.

Those of us that don’t have billions of dollars don’t have a voice, even though they claim to listen, they don’t unless you can line their pockets with a few $100,000 thousand dollars a month.

Our government official don’t care about us, they care about money and how to get more of it.

very true, but if you remember correctly a similar thought process killed IE, and is now harming Edge on windows. The only draw back is everyone wants to use chrome, not realizing how much info they are handing out to Google. Many just don’t care, and yet they will gladly complain about privacy on other matters.

You’re welcome

I do too, but his reasoning is flawed. Based on his reasoning that would be saying Lemmy is a third party site because it doesn’t have the user share that Reddit does.

Microsoft’s edge browser is a fork of chromium, it’s not even first party anymore, like IE was.

I agree Firefox doesn’t have a large share of the browsers, but if you are basing it on user share then the only mainstream browsers are safari and chrome. However, the term third party is generally utilized as a fork of a primary access point or is the access point via another means, even if it’s original.

For example, the apps to access lemmy are third party as they are not created by the original devs for lemmy. In this argument FF is classified as first party not third.

Don’t get me wrong I understood what you were trying to say, but based on your reply then pretty much chrome would be the only mainstream browser.

How is Firefox a small 3rd party browser? FF is the basis for browsers like libreoffice, icewolf etc… it is not 3rd party, it is first party like chrome, opera and safari. Actually if you want to go that far, chrome actually started off as a fork of opera

That kinda follows the same question of why use windows. Some people that’s all they know, others still believe in the myth that GNU/Linux is only for geeks that want to be or are power users. Then there is the other faction that goes along the lines that there is no compatible alternative to what they use/ used to. A lot of alt programs still have a learning curve that is mostly caused by work flow muscle memory.

I use yts.mx for movies and they have a site for tv shows too, i think its ytstv.mx
