Let me guess, suicide by 17 gunshots to the back of his head? In his car in a hotel parking lot?

Couldn't M$ make corporations deal with it anyways? It's really not like they could just switch to Linux or Mac with their very specific BS piece of software of which every company has their own that runs on Windows only.

The only reason I still have Windows are a few games that don't work properly on Linux (via Steam Proton) yet.

I will keep Windows 10 until Steam no longer supports it or all my games run well on Linux (I check for that occasionally). IDGAF about no longer getting security updates as I have moved everything except for those few games to Linux years ago.

Light a candle or smoke a cigarette for increased warmth.

It's probably some kind of weird reward effect in our brains. Like "Yay, whatever I just ate attacked me and I survived! Gimme some more of that!"

Essentially the EU does.

I'm not sure the rest of the world knows about the plans to make backdoors in encrypted communication mandatory, i. e. outlawing any form of effective encryption. They say it's against crime but I strongly believe it is mainly about total surveillance, maybe a little bit for censorship.

So we're gonna have to start using Tor against censorship in the so-called 'civilised' world as well.

Serious question: Why do you use Chrome, a browser made by the world's largest advertising and spying company, when you give the slightest f* about privacy?

At least use Ungoogled Chromium if you're not gonna switch to something actually privacy-focused. Basically the same functionality, but without Google's spyware.

I've gone to use the internet basically only on real computers and throwing a whole arsenal of annoyance and tracking blocking measures at it. The 'vanilla' internet experience has just become utterly unusable. If I use it on mobile, I do so in Brave as it is the only iOS browser that lets you use uBO filter lists and is able to fool websites into thinking you're on desktop.

So I guess it's only a matter of time until Facebook renames itself to ๐•.
