Depends on your altitude…

Whats wrong with using the metric system to represent quantities? Its the default on pretty much everything except fueling planes or operating satellites. /s

The conflict arises from having two different defaults for the same action. Since users frequently switch between these environments, the lack of a universal shortcut causes constant friction.

I am afraid if trying to switch to linux it doesn’t work, but I need to. If you can’t download new os software because you deleted windows and the stuff you had didn’t work what are you going to do? My computer doesn’t even take cd’s. Computers sold around 2020 are shit.

Never ever have only a single computer ready. You need a fallback to get access to help/interne and create Boot-sticks with it, just in case your primary device breaks . (doesn’t matter weather Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac…)

Yeah potentially it would be easier/more concise if I’d adjust my terminal/shell to remap the crtl+c , crtl +shift +c behavior instead of demanding the whole world revert a decision made in the last century.

Thanks for doing the search.

Ideology wise I’d consider it as western but not what usually is associated with “The West™” in geographical means.

This behavior isn’t unique to KDE’s Konsole; many others share it. Since Ctrl + C performs an entirely different function in most Linux terminals/shells, Firefox’s default behavior feels out of place. It’s admittedly a niche problem, but to me, it looks like an ‘alien’ in the Linux world.

EDIT: Thinking about it, this is actually exactly how GNU software usually works: set a weird default behavior so that people are incentivized to figure out how the software actually works just to change it.

Absolutely, all behavior can be changed somehow. But the default defines the product :)

Pretty sure Mozilla has the numbers on how many installations each OS has, so it’s probably a legitimate decision. HOWEVER, if they want to maintain their position on Linux, I highly recommend changing the default behavior of Ctrl+Shift+C to match how it works in Helium, where it simply copies the selected content instead of opening Developer Mode, which cannot be closed again using the same keystroke.

On top level it is refreshing that there are still democratic countries in the world where the politicians are kept responsible for there decisions. We could have good use for a portion of this attitude in the western hemisphere too…

Would not be sure about that. There has been steps in opposite directions in the past. Remember the regulation regarding 3. party app Stores on IOS, or even further back in the past the “Free Brwoser Choice” in MS-Windows.
