How does that help with unwanted update nagging?

Doesn’t work. Firefox keeps nagging me to update every freaking time I open the browser. Now if they let me turn the nagging off it wouldn’t be so bad.

I want an update once per quarter, not once per week. Only more often than that if there is a critical security fix.

Ukraine needs to bring in a South Korean resettlement team and tell the North Koreans all they need do is surrender and get their free tickets to South Korea.

Why the heck did Mozilla need 120 employees for anyway? I hate that Firefox is updated so often because I always get Firefox Update Fatigue. I hope that fewer employees means fewer Firefox updates.

Yes. I can’t imagine being foolish enough to automatically update your external dependencies when you don’t need to.

The law only cares what they do to other companies.

Apple doesn’t allow other companies to have their own app stores. Which google already did allow, they just didn’t make it easy to install one.

Apple is MUCH worse in restricting app stores. It makes no sense that Apple can continue to get away with their far worse restrictions than google. On the positive side this will make Android even better and more attractive to consumers vs AOS than it already was.

I like all of this stuff. But Apple needs to do all this even more than google.

They don’t give information because there is no information to give. It is just empty rhetoric to bullshit financial analysts. The CEO probably just sent out a company wide email a week before telling developers to do this and they all laughed.

How is Elon going to tell the AI to print its code on hardcopy and then fly to Elon’s city to show him your hardcopy code like he told actual Twitter developers to do?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Linux.

Not necessarily. ChromeOS is Linux, and is easier to learn/use than Windows is.

The true enthusiasts grasp this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to appreciate the depths of these systems, to realize that they’re not just functional—they represent a radical shift in computing.

Unix (which Linux is based on) is 50 years old. I agree that Unix/Linux is vastly superior to Windows though.

Hungarians were against things like sending aid to Ukraine

WTF Hungary suffered Kremlin captivity during the entire cold war period and now they are okay with throwing another country under the bus.

The link you shared is the company profile only and doesn’t mention any controversy about telemetry being shared with China.

I want to upvote this.

and would consider both governments hostile.

I want to downvote this.

So I guess I will do neither since I can’t do both.

I’m going to keep using Windows 10

Me too. I will be glad to get no updates and not have to worry any more that Microsoft is going to ruin my computer.

We’ve all seen the local warehouse still running WIndows 7

Why would they stop? They don’t need the internet. They gain nothing by using a different version of windows.

Is it still possible to get the source code? I never knew it was available.

Really, its playlist and library management was top notch. Newer apps still piss me off because none of them do it the way Winamp did.

It’s why I still use winamp.

By continuing to interact with Thread users you’re enabling those users to feel justified in not wanting to leave.

People do not have to leave Threads. They should, but they don’t have to. No harm in interacting with them. In fact, such interaction will make them aware of the alternatives.

Good thing I use archive.org without creating an account.

FYI, there are registry keys you can set to stop it from trying to upgrade.

Can I do this for Windows 11? If so which keys

On top of that, the British only introduced a pretty limited form of democracy to Hong Kong shortly before it was supposed to relinquish control over the territory

On top of that, the Chinese dictator crushed democracy with military and police force in violation of the unification agreement – proving 100% it absolutely can not be trusted.

The PRC saw this as an attempt by the British to continue interfering with the right for Chinese self determination.

The Chinese have no rights whatsoever in the PRC regime because the Chinese cannot chose their own leaders and determine their own country’s destiny. By “right for Chinese self determination” you actually mean the DICTATOR’s right (one single individual!!) to prevent one billion Chinese citizens from running their own country as they see fit.
