That's funny, because getting an ad for Copilot inside my startmenu was actually what made me go back to Linux after 10 years.

This tracks.

PowerShell 7 quietly took off while I was struggling with my IBS.

Today you learned a valuable lesson:

When an online service is free it generally means you're the product.

This is a ridiculous statement. Copilot should be opt-in, not opt-out and the setting is new.

Perfectly reasonable by the sysadmin to not have that already set.

Aren't there meme communities where you could put this instead?

Yes, the extremely popular handheld PC gaming market.

Why is this posted in the Firefox community?

And is this the first time OP has heard about tracking?

The mind boggles.

Thanks for the warning, switching to Jerboa.

Bro over here still using one of his "strong passwords" trying to give other people security advice 😅

I'm already on my way out of Plex to Jellyfin.

I had a nice run with my lifetime pass, but the road ahead has been very clear the last couple of years of where Plex is headed.

Well yeah, there's a lot more of them on the internet.

I just don't get why on windows and mac I can download the app from their site, install it and it just works

That's what the instructions are guiding you to do.

If you hate the terminal then maybe Linux simply isn't for you? That's completely okay you know. Use the tool that's right for you.

when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption.

After my death then. Alright, carry on.

Makes MS seem desperate. Fordicing it down everyones throat and displaying ads in the OS...

There are a lot of stuff on that list that I don't understand how it's "self hosted"

Hugo for example. It is just an application/framework to generate static websites. I guess you can self host the websites, but....

It's like saying notepad.exe is self hosted.

This was just an example, but I saw several such cases.

I think you'd have to relocate for that.

You give of "if she wears a short skirt she deserves it" energy

The only privacy setting I can encourage on any social media site is don't share private stuff about yourself and never link to your account from other accounts

It's the same on Debian, so I'm not sure what you mean?

now they have your email.

That's why you use hide-my-email aliases when you sign up to sites, so they can't tie "your" email to you anymore.

Every time I 'm forced to use a google account

Create a few junk accounts, send recovery to a hide-my-email alias

If you use password managers it really is no bother to have multiple accounts, and Proton Pass integrates hide-my-email, it's pretty neat.
