Other apps than what?

You can start Firefox without the --no-remote flag. And it would allow external processes to open links.

If your distro uses NetworkManager (very likely): nm-connection-editor

*But it did!

Still, dealing with gang control is crucial, so any positive steps are better than none.

I'm sure I know of one thing that would help... Hear me out here, this is pretty far fetched.... Is if the west stop destabilizing them every ten years by assassinating Haitian leaders.

My Xerox works way better than on osx.

Fucking tankies*, why are they all over this software that they created??

*Anyone left of liberals and liberal anarchist larpers.

You need the mount point not the device. Probably something like /media/Files

You can still select just those packages out of their repos. Obviously that can get tedious if there are a lot of them. But that's pretty rare and at that point it's worth asking, is that software really worth it? Is there a better installation method? Could it live in a cheoot/container?

But that's not just in the Apt world, any system wide install would behave like that.

sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /path/to/mountpoint

Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

It does not block proper updates. You might be thinking of held packages that's not the same thing at all. It isn't hard to figure out what you want to pin, you can just pin a hole third party repository at -1 except the specific package(s) you want to install and then there's no chance of that repository overriding a package from the distro's repository.

But it will.

You know you can prevent that with proper apt pinning right?
