serious question. i know how to chattr but wonder what is the easiest way to stop worrying the next worse decision from moz. probably some AI shit. I just want to stick with my old moz trash because there has not been a single update in 5 years that made anything better - i always lose functions. this applies to ff (slower, dumber, bloated) and thundeturd (have a plugin you like? WE WILL KILL IT!).
so how to keep a state of software from when it was OK and not follow up on ANYTHING the greedy corpo puts out? I am sure moz will keep releasing horrible updates even when they reached less that 0.05% market share just because they can and are sick people.
You can set your package manager to not update it. In Debian you would run
apt-mark hold package_name
to stop a package from updating. In Arch, you would add the package to theIgnorePkg
list in/etc/pacman.conf
.I would not recommend doing that, especially with a web browser. That will leave you vulnerable to any security issues that come up.
well is that true? so if i distupgrade ff will not be altered? doubt it.
and can you name ANY real life case where FF was really subjected to an exploit? which hacker is wasting resources to target less than 1% of all users? nah, i am sure it is safer to not update FF than anything else. would be a waste to create payloads for ff111 or sth...
Lemmy seems to be overrun with too many entitled opensource users.

Have you tried coding and submitting a feature that makes it better?
Don't forget to not get K-9 Mail updates also when it's brought in to the fold.
i am not sure... from what I understand moz has reached a point of no return. tb development has been halted to have more time to fuck up firefox, build AIs (loooooool) and pamper the CEO. I wouldnt call k9 dead yet.
