1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I think it may display a warning but thats it.

    Yeah that's what I said. It is your opinion that a warning is not enough but I very much don't feel that way. Users should be treated like adults by default.

    No they often take Windows 10 on FF ESR

    I don't know what this means unless you're saying it just always reports win 10

    As far as the rest of your comment... I have been building websites for 20 years now and I'm not content to do things the wrong way, so I've researched and considered the available options.

    It doesn't matter if it's a "browser problem" since I don't get to tell users that iOS sucks ass, which it does.

    Kind of feels dismissive the way you're hand waving away all the problems I deal with all the time. Like I said, until browsers behave consistently or at least predictably if they don't support something, UA will be needed sometimes. I haven't needed it for anything but safari in a long time but again I don't get to tell those users to get a decent browser. On iOS they don't even have that option if they were to want another browser.

    Thats why there is an "accept the risk and proceed" button ;)

    By default, Firefox loads Javascript from any site. The Pegasus Trojan was transmitted by hijacking 2G and 3G network connections, and using malicious HTTP redirects that wouldnt work with HTTPS.

    They are zero-click, meaning just opening that site would run the code.

    i think security should be normalized.

    it just always reports win 10

    It reports to be Firefox ESR on Windows 10. Maybe Windows 11 now.

    you're hand waving away all the problems I deal with all the time.

    I didnt. I just find it odd that you need to know the OS to display a site for 3 different form factors. But if that is true, then a UA might be a solution.

    Yeah, a lot of things seem odd until you take 20 years to understand them.
