    @tito_swineflu@sfba.social Yeah. And, I dunno about you, but I use multiple profiles to keep different browsing-contexts wholly separate from others. So… Fortunately, for the last year, the only time I use #Chrome is when I need to run #AWS's #FleetManager (it's basically unusable under #Firefox). So, only the one profile has the file, currently.

    @tito_swineflu cat /dev/null >! weights.bin; sudo chown 0:0 weights.bin … if the best option is somehow not an option.

    @tito_swineflu even more beautiful how it is installed for every user, on the same machine, as well 💩

    @tito_swineflu I only use chrome when absolutely necessary. This is in my bashrc. In launches when I need it then wipes all traces from my account when I'm done. #Google #Chrome function _chrome { /opt/google/chrome/chrome --no-first-run >& /dev/null & wait $! rm -rf ${HOME}/.config/google-chrome ${HOME}/.cache/fontconfig ${HOME}/.cache/google-chrome ${HOME}/.cache/mesa_shader_cache } alias chrome='_chrome &'

    @tito_swineflu Does this happen with chromium and other chrome-based browsers?

    @tito_swineflu filename matches, it weigh(t)s and should go into the bin.
