Looks like this may be a bit of a theme for this guy...

Apart from Debian, he has also targeted Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and it has got so bad, they have had to reach the extreme of pursuing legal action against him. He violated EU data protection laws by illegally copying subscriber information from FSFE's mailing lists and subscribed everyone to his own list. He also ran a script that tried to unsubscribe everyone from FSFE's lists. Then he claimed that what he did must have been legal because he has not been arrested yet, while at the same time continuing to use his list to spread lies and defamatory statements about volunteers and the FSFE itself. Which is something he has also been doing to Open Labs, accusing them of human trafficking, running a paedophilia ring, and god knows what else.

But Oracle will be leading towards an "offer" to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.

So...Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.

A lot of healthcare facilities are running EOL operating systems like Windows XP or Windows 7 because the programs they use for billing or other reasons are stuck on that version. You would be shocked at how prominent this is across most "modern" infrastructure. The resistance to change stems from a "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality. Pagers are still the most reliable ways to reach a doctor, which is why they're still used, not because they're necessarily the most secure.

As easy as it is to point blame at "duh boomers" the situation with healthcare in particular is much more nuanced. Though I do agree that any luddites in charge of major hospitals are not helping the situation at all.

That's what I'm hoping for, got burned in some Blender courses a few years ago when I didn't do some due diligence lol. Thanks!

Anyone know how current this is? Is there some sort of community that can help troubleshoot if needed?

Same issue on latest version of LibreWolf

Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you

You probably shouldn't be accessing a linux distro's website from mobile

I don't think it's good to hand-wave a website's poor user experience and instead blame the user's device. The fact of the matter is that Debian's website is not as responsive as it could (imo, should) be and results in a bad user experience. With mobile traffic being responsible for over 55% of the internet's traffic, it can be generally assumed a user's first experience learning about a distro will be on a mobile device. If that first impression is bad, that can spell bad news for that distro's adoption/onboarding.
