  • User reports: Microsoft defense

    Oh, come one.

    I love and use linux just as much as the next communist, I’ve used as my daily driver for a decade. But we should be pointed, specific, and correct in our criticisms. The setting isn’t that hard to change, most people are not going to be touching shtml links and the like. There is someone at google right now who is currently testing a new script to make sure they can still set everything to go through chrome.

    This person is not an m$ fanboy. @Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net we all hate microsoft but that’s not a good reason to be inaccurate.

    If you want to stoke your m$ hate, this week at my work they added a copilot button to the start bar. It’s one menu and one click to remove, but still annoying. Especially because we’re not allowed to even use their stupid copilot shit legally.


  • Was also struggling with this shit recently. I found out about the concept of “digital signage” which is like, the kind of screen that’s used for a restaurant menu or an airport display. It’s certainly a dumb display, so no smart tv crap. But the quality is all low, ain’t exactly meant for good sharp picture. I ended up just getting a stupid ‘smart tv’ and have not hooked it up to the internet ever. It gets a display feed from my computer and that’s it.







  • This is speculation:

    I think a lot of it is temporarily leased or loaned. i was watching a retrobytws video recently, cant remember the exact name. but it was about this console that was ‘designed for girls’ (read what old men in suits think teenage girls want). He said a lot of.yputubers have made videos on it, but console is actually pretty rare. One or two people own pne amd loan it out to others for their videos.

    Also auctioning. I gotta imagine some of it can be flipped.

    Maybe donated to a museum.

    That’s just me speculatong tho.

    Hmmm, that’s a lot to go over in there. I have family sharing setup with, let’s say, my found family. There are a lot of improvements listed, but also many things I’m worried about.

    The one year period of waiting after leaving one seems excessive. I hope they have good separation of the logical family and the physical pc’s, It’s really annoying to resetup stuff with my partner every time one of us installs a different linux distro.

    I understand why they’re doing the ban sharing, but it’s still funny.
