The price lol yet another scam. Like the first version.

Some people can’t because they need updated proofing tools and that version no longer has updates.

I love how journalism is all garbage, even the one around technology. It just took a bunch of declarations and suddenly Meta/FB is the target to avoid and cancel. As if there weren’t many more and much better reasons to NOT use those platforms than this simple and expected political realignment.

Flatpak doesn’t have an “ask for permission” system afaik, at least not standardized.

Exactly, and that’s precisely the reason why it’s still not a viable solution for the average user. This a big problem and a problem of consistent and integration between Flatpak , GNOME, KDE etc.

Sure, just try to get a password manager to communicate with a browser both on Flatpaks. Things like that should work, that’s what people expect, or at least should prompt the user for permission to communicate like Apple does.

Yeah, Apple, but at the same time and unlike GNOME and Flatpak Apple actually did a decent implementation of system containers for applications that doesn’t result in barely usable applications.

DEI policies are the exact opposite of “rooted in respect”

Propaganda… I see propaganda…

What you’re missing there is that the Europe you describe is only a small sub-set of countries. The rest are committing atrocities against their own people in the form of continuously increasing the number of people living close to poverty and by enacting policies that ended up making majority of the youngest generations unable to buy/rent homes and/or eventually have children.

“oppressive govts that use socialism to hide their atrocities” => welcome to European politics.

The nixCraft headline is stupid, just because you are running on IPv6 without any NAT doesn’t mean your router doesn’t block incoming IPv6 traffic to hosts on the network - this is actually the default in 99.9999% of devices.

I guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn’t actually care, they’ve a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can’t do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.

I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.

So, the colorful left is just killing everyone and everything but with extra steps and the illusion of doing the right thing. Sounds about right.

A better title: Opera explains shit on how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support. Will talk to developers so see if anyone has a good ideas.

Windows 10/11 Enterprise is recommended as that’s the version where Microsoft can’t fuck up.

No, that’s a myth. Registry edits may revert in some cases yes, but group policy is different as it designed exactly to configure machines in a stable way.

Group policy may be beyond the general skill level, which makes the constant Linux suggestions even more laughable.

Ahaha yeah, I’ve said that SO MANY times. People have issues setting a few toggles on a point-and-click UI but then it is okay to suddenly move to a entirely different OS that most likely won’t have the software they’re used to and requires terminal skills to deal with most things. Laughable indeed.

Completely bullshit, garbage clickbait title.

Windows 10 is near EoL, however that’s for Home/Pro/Enterprise versions, you can move to one of those for more time:

• Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC - 2027
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC - 2032

To be fair I don’t really believe that Microsoft will kill it when they say they will. And even if they do it, porting security updates from those LTSC versions into the regular ones might be doable.

Now on Windows 11:

You can just disable copilot and all the other garbage using group policy, now that hard and you’ll end up with essentially Windows 10. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-disable-microsoft-copilot/
