... without checking it. If that's your understanding, you're correct.
On the affirmative, ALWAYS check whatever advice you hear/read on the internet. Be ultra careful with your health and safety.

When you're about to face a high risk, high reward situation, you should willfully, willingly start to hyperventilate, as this helps your brain ...
NEVER take any stranger's advice on the internet as credible without checking it with a specialist. This is especially true when said advice relates to your health and/or safety.
From the top of my head, I would name Okular. No other FOSS pdf reader is as complete and easy to use.
In his famous Course in General Linguistics, Saussure uses a similar example to demonstrate that onomatopoeia are just as arbitrary as all other signs (words).
Because one could argue that onomatopoeia is where signs seem less arbitrary. After all, those words try to reproduce a seeming objective reality, namely an existing sound. In this case, owls' hoots. But this image shows that's not the case, just like Saussure argued.
Emoji Dick is a crowd sourced and crowd funded translation of Herman Melville's Moby Dick into Japanese emoticons called emoji.
Sorry, please don't take this as an attack. It's just that I'm so tired of that lame joke.
I tried to present this as an observation. When filing a bug report (which I tried to emulate here), you have to take into account the distro, as it may influence the behavior of the software in question. Namely here Firefox.
Now, does that make you laugh? Good, laugh about it. But please think about it in this context. You are laughing about a personal choice. Prejudice is taking hold of your mind. You're turning someone's choice into a strawman, easy to be laughed at just because.
It's a bit like attacking vegans. Now it's not about this or that person and their choice. They're evened out, ridiculed, just because it's memetic to do so. The same with Arch users, so it seems.
I don't use Arch btw. There's no btw because I don't care about that. This just reminds me of how certain groups always have to hear the same old tired jokes about them, just because, individually, everyone telling those jokes feels it's so clever to do so.
Sorry. I think we can do better than this here at Lemmy. Again, this is not an attack. Perhaps just a reminder.
This is not the first time I see one of these. The format: X says something. Z puts X's something into question. X supposedly owns Z by revealing how awesome they are.
Why this got me triggered?
Maybe the format. No problem here. Someone else likes this and this is why it gets posted and upvoted. No surprise there.
Maybe the content. In making aesthetics, judgments, we're mostly guided by affections. Trying to own an aesthetic discussion with degrees or prizes is... well, an aesthetic.
Because we all know instances of very knowledgeable people making questionable aesthetic judgements. What makes their judgement questionable is OUR relation to the object in question.
It's this personal relation to the object that structures the whole jugement. This, as people correctly say, it's... subjective.
So, here the proof is like that at many levels. First the level of the meme. You like this format? If yes, you move to the next level. Then the movie itself. If you loved it, you love to hear others praising it to the skies. Finally, the so-called credentials presented here. You consider an Emmy a great award? If feel it is, than you feel vindicated, feeling this is a great argument.
It is not. It's a subjective display of affections masquerading as an argument.
I too have this issue, and I use a similar solution.
Case in point, for those asking for examples: exporting Reveal.js slides to PDF. Never works on Firefox (my browser of choice). Solution? Any chrome based browser.
OS: Linux, Arch (updated).
At first I thought it was a minor thing. But it's still down. Any news?

It's crazy to think that this level of intrusion is considered fair game. The way these behaviors are normalized is completely dystopian.

I find useful not to think both myself or others as smart/not smart, but wise or wiser. Being smart is not always wise. Playing dumb may be wise at times. Wisdom goes way beyond smartness, as it's a mixture of kindness, experience, sensibility, and virtue.
