I hate linux. |

|
3 |
Yeah, I know I know. First mofo to argue with me about the above gets a |
4 |
free ounce of lead, express delivery. |

|

|

All of the followning statemens are true: |
8 |
|
9 |
1. I am never not running seamonkey, it is always open at all times on |
10 |
my left hand monitor, If at any point it was not on my left hand monitor |
11 |
either I must have been going through a power failure or something had |
12 |
broken it, because it is working at the moment I have decided not to use |
13 |
emerge update for the next six months, two months in to that period at |
14 |
this point. |
15 |
|
16 |
2. Seamonkey is my default browser. |
17 |
|
18 |
3. Seamonkey cannot be launched twice, ie it cannot be launched on my |
19 |
right hand monitor because the monitors are using separte X servers and |
20 |
it would need to be launched twice to come up on that monitor. |
21 |
|
22 |
4. many applications that I run on my right hand monitor try to launch |
23 |
my default browser which always reports an error message because it is |
24 |
already running on a different monitor. |
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
Therefore I need to obliterate the concept of a default web browser from |
28 |
my machine. |
29 |
|
30 |
All the stuff about default web browsers on goog is from different |
31 |
distros. If I copy and paste the commands I get various obscure error |
32 |
messages. |
33 |
|
34 |
The only thing that seems to know how the default web browser was set is |
35 |
a thing called "XDG" or "Xdg-config" |
36 |
|
37 |
The manual page for xdg-config is criminally sparse. The author clearely |
38 |
couldn't conceive that anyone would ever want to remove any setting for |
39 |
any reason, especially not the holy default web browser, or set it to a |
40 |
blank or default state... |
41 |
|
42 |
I found that xdg had set a bunch of environment variables, and utilizes |
43 |
data dilectories in every corner of my system. The hundreds of |
44 |
individual files it uses don't have anything so obvious as |
45 |
|
46 |
<DEFAULT APPS> |
47 |
<Web Browser>seamonkey.desktop </web browser> |
48 |
</default apps> |
49 |
|
50 |
Dear god! The user might try to manage his settings without the obscure |
51 |
UNDOCUMENTED, crappy application we penguinoids think he should use it. |
52 |
Instead, we need to come up with the most obscure, convoluted, |
53 |
spaghetti-ized, obfuscated, arcane, and archaic design we can think of |
54 |
to make sure the user never EVER gets control of his own system. |
55 |
|
56 |
It feels like a metastatized cancer. It looks like it's intertwined with |
57 |
as much of my system as possible. My home directory is incohprehensibly |
58 |
stale, it has garbage that was left there fifteen years ago. |
59 |
|
60 |
It looks like most of it is hiding among my steam games in |
61 |
.local/share/ Most of the stuff in there is garbage from 2014, some |
62 |
active files tho. |
63 |
|
64 |
Only a penguin could invent a system this difficult for the user to |
65 |
inspect and control. |
66 |
|
67 |
Even after deleting the files xdg-settings still cheerfully reports my |
68 |
default web browser is seamonkey, |
69 |
|
70 |
NO YOU MTOHERFUCKER , NO DEFAULT, NO WEB , NO MOTHERFUCKING BROWSER, AND |
71 |
NO SEAMONKEY!!! NONE OF IT YOU MOTHERFUCKKING MOTHERFUCKER AND BURN IN |
72 |
HELL TO EVERYONE RESPONSIBLE FOR XDG!! |
