Their lack of manpower means delayed updates to fix zero days compared to Firefox

From their site:

LibreWolf is always built from the latest Firefox stable source, for up-to-date security and features along with stability.

As soon as firefox pushes a release, for instance to fix a security vulnerability, librewolf can immediately rebuild It is literally just firefox with different setting. Delay between firefox release and librewolf release should be negligible. You can verify this by noting that 136.0 was offered on the same day.

The difference in time between firefox and librewolf security updates is less than the variance between users updating their machines.

Librewolf is firefox with different settings how does it not already benefit from Firefox’s security team

We value the gains both immediate and presumed more than the harm

Ok so explain particularly what this means

Because it makes up things that are 99% correct and in some areas the 99% + verification and expansion can be superior time wise to the 100% manual route

Do you actually experience something different. People absolutely have different skill sets and can be excellent in one area and be mediocre in others however virtually always the users looking for the any key or complaining a device wont turn on because the monitor is off are the people that are generally dumb as rocks.

It would be more accurate to say that rather than knowing anything at all they have a model of the statistical relationship between a series of tokens and subsequent tokens which words are apt to follow other words and because the training set contains many true things the words produced in response to queries often contain true statements and almost always contain statements that LOOK like true statements.

Since it has no inherent model of the world to draw on and only such statistical relationships you should check anything important

Maybe people need to learn that AI hallucinates

In my experience on average the incompetent are also kind of stupid. Is your experience different?

Two things.

One: You could literally say use Linux Mint in 2010 and in 2025 and be ok. You don’t need to know about the totality of the ecosystem in order to use Linux any more than you must understand the totality automotive tech and every car to pick one and drive. If you pick the something different its also probably good enough.

Two: If they really are too stupid at some degree of ineptitude they are just going to need to pay someone smarter their money whether that is Apple, another Windows machine, or even a Linux OEM. Installing your own OS on an infinite range of hardware with a range of support is never going to be so easy someone who is entirely tech illiterate can do it and that is ok.

Mint is Ubuntu with cinnamon minus snap +user friendliness

Install Linux Mint Cinnamon. You don’t need to be a coder and there is a discord for any tech support needs

It will NEVER be so that owning two houses in America doesn’t involve being well into the 1% This is just an absurd take that has become true nowhere on planet earth.

Step one make schools mostly dependent on property tax by funding them almost entirely through property tax Step two watch the price of housing skyrocket to the point where half of them are owned by old fuckers Step three make old fuckers fully or partially exempt from this tax Step four wonder why your schools have basically been defunded

Lets imagine a scenario bob the old lives at 65 lives in a 2M home which isn’t exactly a castle its just in a really desirable area. Bob is cash poor but house rich. He’s going to be taxes out of his home sooner or later without relief. Suppose we provide him that relief.

Shall we let him sell his house and realize his gains. Tax those gains but leave him enough to live wealthy for the next 20 years and collect 20 years of 1% taxes or about 660k with 5% appreciation. We would also collect around 300k of that 2M in capital gains taxes.

All in all we are giving up almost a million dollars in tax revenue which will be collected by taxing people who aren’t sitting on a 1.7M pot of gold. We will be taxing lots of folks barely getting by MORE to write a million dollar check to grandpa.

Then when he dies all those capital gains that were in fact real evaporate because the new owner who inherits it gets to start fresh at present value.

To justify your position I want you to imagine going around to a bunch of poor people’s apartments and taking stuff out of their house to give to one rich guy. Yes someone who is “house rich” doesn’t SEEM rich but assets are fungible and in a good market remarkably liquid.

Most places are around 1% of value with many having caps on increases in value or other differences in taxed and actual value. This means his house is worth 1,000,000 to 1,600,000

If he was really living on 24k he wouldn’t be able to pay 12,000 in property tax. He bought when it cost almost nothing and spent most of his life paying neither rent nor mortgage unlike most of us and has a reasonable retirement.

He could at any time sell and live better than you or I even if he didn’t have a dime other than the house. Instead he uses his time to whine about his good fortune.

If this was so it wouldn’t be half his ss in property taxes. Average ss is 1900 a month

It trivially is in any hot market

Depending on area 40k property tax means a 3-4M house. Poor rich people!

Outside of fantasy no that is just nonsense

Nobody needs a summer and winter home tax the living shit out of rich fuckers with 2
