#closewindows — Public Fediverse posts

Microsoft ending support for #Proprietary Windows 7 and 8: it's about control! Who's in control of your company's, school's, government's -- *your* software? With #FreeSoftware, it's *you* who chooses when and how to "discontinue." #CloseWindows https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/windows

Microsoft is unilaterally pulling the plug on support for #Proprietary Windows 7 and 8, including for their browser. If only these operating systems were #FreeSoftware, then developers and orgs could continue supporting these systems. #CloseWindows https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/windows

@MrBuggles
Sorry to hear your workplace makes daily sacrifices to Gates. Just today someone gave us a fun slogan — #CloseWindowsOpenDistros.

It made us smile… we may just use it for life (or at least until #Microsoft goes libre or the way of the dodo :).

Rather than read, #Microsoft, it would read "#Microshaft".

This aligns with the experience that we had, in which Microsoft products were supplied to us at a young age in the hope that we'd be lifelong users.

So #Microsoft names their #officeSuite 365 — as in #365 days a year…

Workers of the world be like, "when did we signed that agreement?"

Il 14 gennaio #Microsoft smetterà di offrire aggiornamenti per #Windows 7. Circa un miliardo di utenti smetteranno di ricevere correzioni che mantengono i loro computer in funzione e i loro dati al sicuro.

Se sei uno di questi utenti, #KDE vuole aiutarti.
