Finally someone is fighting those companies that take advantage of controlling the platforms.

Dude ms defender used to delete my "Hello World" executables built using visual studio just because they were made by an unknown publisher.

After seeing his face I'd rather use a different terminology.

Imagine this very thing being illegal after web drm is implemented.

While i agree with them, i do think Microsoft is attempting even worse steps in turning bing/edge into the next google: literally cant open windows help links on any other browser, the task bar's search functions are bing only, popups about using edge instead of chrome, defaulting 100 file types into edge.

Those big companiew are shit. They all attempt the same stuff while blaming others for succeeding in doing so.

This shit basically killed reddit as a proffesional information aourcr ror me. No im not gonna log into reddit on my work pc, i just need to be looking for technical data i can find elsewhere.

Once you lose your convenience status you are doomed to die a slow death into becoming a niche old website.

Moatly about capitalism i think. If you put on privacy restrictions, you are regulating the market, while capitalism believes that the market should regulate itself, and customers will simply stop using those websites/softwares overtime if its too bad. I find this completely delusional in the era of mega corporations, but thats the capitalistic aproach to this.

I personally only pirate indie games to make sure only triple A titles are profitable.

Is that one of those rich people jails, where you are basically in a vacation?

Is it even legal to force you to pay more than the menu reads? I know tipping 18% is a social norm now in the states, but you can technically say no to that. Can you say no to this service tax?

Non of cannonical's bullshit, more barebones then mint, the only distro i know of where you can almost seemlessly move from stable release to rolling release and back without re-installing, very big software support due to proximity to ubuntu, big repositories, stable is stable AF, you know it will keep being supported for many more years, much more flexible then the DE based distroa like ElementryOS and DeepinOS.

I dont use debian nowadays but its frickin great.

So i tried this one and for some reason i cant find candy crush in my start menu. What did i do wrong?

Good. Keep cluttering the app until people move to simpler alternatives. Preferably libre.

Honestly, this is not a minor super power.

They offer 1 month free to show their appreciation? Dont they offer 1 month free to literally everyone? You just open youtube and you are bombarded by "try youtubr premium free 1 month".

Such bullshit "appreciation". This is insulting.

A floating window for things that should clearly have a tab-like look, like windows 11's start menu - why in the world does it float like a window?? Why is it not connected to the taskbar like in every other desktop? Or firefox's new tabs design.

I have a strong feeling the terms of usage for this opt-in will include something along the lines of "we can use your voice for our future projects" and then in a few years they will just create podcasts using podcasters' voices without their true consent and make a ton off their backs while increasing their competition.

At this point its easier to find new movies through pirating platforms. So many different streaming services and they only allow searching through their own platform, and obviously push all their newest and shittiest shows. I just go to a neutral platform that has everything and no agenda and find great movies in a matter of minutes.

Man, they already managed to piss off their tech savy users, then their moderators, now their paying users. All thats left is pissing off the content creators and the site is basically done.

They did say "except in select countries".
