"textContent": "> > I understand you have reasons for staying with 19.2, but eventually those reasons run head on with Reality where things just start having problems simply because they are no longer supported.\n>\n> **Off-topic:**\n> So far I managed to stay afloat, mainly because I do not require much from this old notebook, and there's also people that provide backports for versions even older than Mint 19. And some of the software that officially became incompatible I could build myself and update the old ones. When that will become impossible I'll probably stick to what I have until it won't work at all anymore, and then... I'll be too old to care.\n\n**Off-topic:**\nI am old too. Just turned 76. So in some ways I am like you, but in other ways, I am not.\n\nI totally get it you're using an old notebook. And there are people who provide backports for older unsupported distros like your (19.2). I also get you can build your own linux Pale Moon.\n\nWhen I find things that no longer work in linux Pale Moon, I too will search around for a solution. And if I am lucky, I will find a solution. But here is where I take a different path than you.\n\nIf I find a solution that works, but after a few months the solution no longer works, I would have to find a newer second solution. Then if the second solution worked and then doesn't, this is where I take the easy way out if there is one.\n\nAs an example, the case with Pale Moon and the dreaded, pita \"Cloudflare\". To try and get around CF with a custom setting or an extension, which I know will not last since CF is constantly tinkering with their challenges, I just use my backup Waterfox browser for the \"problem\" website.\n\nBasically, I do not like to create unnecessary aggravation and frustration for myself especially if their is an alternate solution and it is an easy way out.\n\n* * *",
