I stopped using AUR long before these packages and before the DDOS attacks. Mostly because I started rewriting the code of different applications to compile with QT5 or GTK3. For that I need the source, not what's uploaded on AUR. Which makes me think why I'm still keeping trizen when I don't even use it. 😆

    Hahahahahahaha, you're a... tech "miracle"! For the 10 years with Linux I've never uninstalled the DE by accident or otherwise, or any of the other problems you mentioned. I have fucked up my computer only once but I did it on purpose - to see what will happen. I had already created a clonezilla backup of a working system, so I was free to experiment and... I decided to uninstall both kernels (rolling and LTS) and reboot. There was no kernel panic because there was no kernel to begin with. 😆

    No. That's the brainwashing talking. By keeping you scared about your security, all browser developers keep you under their complete control. And with that they impose their views on what your browser should look like/behave like. But most of the time they simply remove or change options - some are visibly removed/changed, others are either hidden or in about:config and are locked, so that you can't use them or are just rendered inoperable. Security updates are just the excuse to impose their will on you. I had it enough of Mozilla's constant chopping the browser off, so I moved to Waterfox which brings back all options Mozilla ever removed and then some. But by the time you remember that the browser is supposed to serve you, not the other way around, it will be too late.

    Yeah. The majority of the churches in Sofia (Bulgaria) are 300 yo, some are 500+ yo. I think one that is underground is 500+. There are the ruins of an even older than that church but they don't take pictures of that. Go figure...

    The route they usually take is quite short. I can walk it in 10 minutes without rushing. I did follow them once, out of boredom and saw what they took pictures of - the rocket (some call it a mosque) and the 3 christian churches in the near area. I also asked their guid and she confirmed it. No matter what nation they're from, they always take pictures of churches only. I suppose I can understand taking pictures of one specific church bc it's underground and the reason for that is historical, but the rest... When it comes to churches and/or bibles, I prefer to do what they show on "Lords of Chaos". :D

    Doubtful. Last year the most of them were Americans, this year the tourists are mostly French and Italian. I pretty sure there are churches in all 3 of these countries, especially in Italy, where sits the pedophile HQ - in Rome.

    They provide a vital function, unlike the churches. Still, it's pointless to take pictures of them. The same way I don't understand the logic behind travelling a thousand miles (or more, cuz some of these tourists are Americans) and the only thing they do is take pictures of the brainwashing factories.

    Today (and not only today) I saw a bunch of tourists from other countries. You'd say "big deal". But here comes the twist: ALL they did was to walk around the city and take pictures ONLY of churches. 🤦‍♂️ I don't see the point of travelling a thousand miles (or more) to another country and all you do there is taking pictures of only churches and skip everything else there is to see. To me this looks like the same absurd if I go to another country and start taking pictures of their sewers. 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

    Fortunately I'm safe from that bc right after I assembled my current PC (even before moving the distro to it; yes, moving, not "installing"), I entered BIOS and disabled secure boot, IPM 2.0 and pretty much everything Spyware related. Only then I booted Clonezilla and extracted from the backup image. Since I had done the same on the old PC in BIOS, that means my Arch was never installed with SB and IPM active.

    On top of that the last update of BIOS nearly broke it, so I flashed it back to the more stable version the motherboard came with. And since I have no intention to update BIOS, I'm safe from all that trouble.

    Do you remember the old days of Firefox when the statusbar used to an actual bar with stuff on it? Well, now you can have that.

    At first I tried using the actual status bar - the one whose availability you can enable in settings and then choose whether it will show links or not. With some CSS for customizing the status bar, that would eventually leave you with a bar with two thick white lines that look like border and that won't go away no matter what you do. Again - that's a linux only problem! These lines are not present in the Windows version of Waterfox.

    So, I took some time to play with that, I even asked an AI for help but no good - the desired status bar wouldn't appear as I wanted it. So I took another approach: I brought up the bookmarks bar. Since I'm not using it anyway, I decided to turn it into a status bar:

    1. Bring up the bookmarks bar.
    2. Go to settings and choose position for it - bottom.
    3. Remove any bookmarks from it, if there are any.
    4. Right click on it --> Customize toolbar --> Remove any elements from the bookmarks bar. Also remove the message "add bookmarks here". If you want, you can add the Zoom function (-|100%|+) and it automatically go to the right most part of the bookmarks bar, making it look even closer to the classic status bar. You can add other things to it, if you want - just not bookmarks, otherwise it will become a mess.
    5. Open your profile dir which is usually located in ~/.waterfox/Profiles/randomname.default-release-1. Note that I can't tell you where EXACTLY this last directory is because I changed the location of mine long ago - so long ago that I don't even remember what its original location and name were. Anyway, once you find, enter the directory chrome (if you don't have it - create it) and then open/create a new file named userChrome.css. This file is responsible for the appearance of the browser. So, open/create it and paste this in it:

    `#statuspanel { position: fixed !important; left: 0 !important; bottom: 0 !important; z-index: 9999 !important; }

    #statuspanel-label { margin-left: 10 !important; border: none !important; padding: 10 !important; font-family: "Open Sans" !important; font-size: 18px !important; font-weight: bold !important; color: #E2B582 !important; }`

    and your new status bar (after you restart the browser) will look like on the screenshot above. Ofcourse, you can change the font color, size or family to any values you want. These are my colors and font size and also just for the example on how to make this work.

    The Waterfox version I did this with is G6 - 6.5.11.

    The calendar looks the same way as the menu - with 40% transparency. I've been thinking of transforming the menu and the calendar to a solid green background color (instead of transparency) but never had the time to do it. The original theme was Mint-Y-[something] about 8 years ago but nowadays it's... something else.
