  1. ❕Microsoft / Windows 11's ways are not for people's (nor small innocent companies) benefit - stuff is more blatantly obvious & the cute penguin is offering its wing 🐧

    Video might give food for thought or ignite a laughter - it also lays out facts. Your "Spydows PC" indeed is not actually Yours anymore.

    Infographics Show focuses on making animated motion infographic videos, made in a fun / entertaining way - yet to the point.

    We've reached these times where computing freedom *is possible* - let's just share the knowledge ✅

  2. Time to switch to the freedom of Linux - people are indeed doing it increasingly. E.g. Steam recently passed 5% for Linux users 🐧

  3. Microsoft sperrt Konto von VeraCrypt-Entwickler: Windows-Version hängt in der Luft stadt-bremerhaven.de/microsoft-sp... WireGuard: Der Entwickler hat auch Probleme mit seinem Microsoft-Konto stadt-bremerhaven.de/wireguard-de... #Linux & Mac Versionen sind erstmal nicht betroffen! #DeleteMicrosoft

  4. "Radboud University is conducting an important exploration aimed at increasing digital autonomy and sovereignty. This involves investigating alternatives to the widely used Microsoft 365 environment. [...] For this reason, Radboud University is participating in this pilot organised by SURF, the Dutch ICT cooperative for education and research".

    Klinkt goed!

  6. This felt so good. A pester email about OneDrive storage over limit reminded me I have an account to delete.

  9. 🐧 Linux for PC-users not wanting to bow down on Microsoft

    Yes folks, Microsoft 'bout to oppress even more aye:

    ◉Microsoft account mandatory
    ◉"A lowly user" must accept M$ tricks
    ◉Command line method (to bypass Microsoft account) will be cut
    ◉AI is integrated to Windows 11
    ◉"Recall" records everything
    ◉...information to Microsoft
    ◉Windows is full of secrets (closed source)

    FInd your Linux OS today simply via browser 👉 distrosea.com/

  10. 🐧 Linux market share keeps rising | From last month's 4.44% to 4.55% now 💹

    ◉Share is of course more; Chrome OS is Linux also (Google's Linux but not a Free Desktop type)
    ◉The "Unknown" category should include much Linux (only user agents hidden)
    ◉This is true desktop usage (Steam Deck is not used to browse web for most)

  11. 🐧 Linux in plans? Don't know where to start? DISTROSEA helps finding a suitable Linux OS -- right from web browser 👍

    Microsoft has countless intentions to invade people's privacy (often without user even realizing).

    Soon Microsoft indeed wants to add a "Recall" function to Windows 11 to take screenshots continuously (!) Is this OK..?

    Linux is also a mainstream gaming platform now 😎

  12. 🎮 Fallout 3 runs perfect on Linux ✅ -- while on Windows 10 🚫 regular crashes are reported.

    "The Freedom OS" is a savior for many :linux:

    Many ponder a Linux switch -- Google Trends shows a spike for "Linux", "Ubuntu", etc. :thinkhappy:

    To add: recent faulty Windows security update (CrowdStrike) took out banks, airlines & big companies worldwide via update *with Linux OS's not impacted*

  13. Using Windows? Sad or happy to say: they just copied all your files to their servers :yay:

    Windows (so M$) was CAUGHT for automatically turning their OneDrive cloud backups ON. THEY know wat yer own best.

    The planned Recall feature of Spydows? @ Microsoft (for some reason) they want to take screenshots (nice & automatic) on what ye doing on ye PC.

    What do YOU think? Considering Linux? :thinkhappy:

  14. @GossiTheDog Well, we could also consider to just #DeleteMicrosoft and use reasonable software like Linux, LibreOffice, NextCloud, BBB ... We do have alternatives. We just need to want to use them instead of chasing the fairytale of the benefits of big corporations.

  16. :windows: Microsoft: an irresposible company - its effects once again tried to be reduced by Linux development 👍

    ◉The Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) is a security concern
    ◉This protocol built atop USB for virtual Ethernet functionality may now get disabled for Linux mainline

  17. Starting the process to #deletemicrosoft

    Stopped using Outlook. New Outlook for Mac is trash surpassed by many other free programs out there.

    Stopped using Outlook dot Com. Too much spam and little control to deal with it.

    Don’t really use Word much, easy to replace. Same with PowerPoint, not used it for years.

    Excel is tougher, trying to work out a solution that will work across devices that will display currencies in CAD USD GBP etc. Should be simple I hope.

  20. Still haven't understood why so many developers insist on using proprietary #Github for their projects. There are great real Open Source alternatives like #Codeberg or a self-hosted #GitLab .
    Using the proprietary platform of a code-stealing Big Tech surveillance capitalism company to create Open Source software doesn't sound reasonable to me.

    *That's why I simply don't do it.*

  22. 🎮 Proton: tech by Valve (Steam) to play Windows games on Linux - version 8.0-5 out :linux:

  23. ::: LINUX IN THE WILD - "Weird Linux benefits" :ablobcatrave:

    The OP stated:

    "What I notice with Linux. I get somehow better audio like its more clear and better sound. I don't know how but I'm 100% sure I get better sound.

    Some native Windows games I swear work even better on Linux and it's more stable for me.

    There is also one weird thing that I can't explain but my eyes hurt less about 70%.

    For some reason on Windows my eyes are burning even if I use the same apps and everything but still the issue is there."

    - - - - - - -

    So, what do YOU think? Had similar experiences after moving on from Windows to Linux? :thinkhappy:

  24. ::: Ditching user disrespecting Windows for Linux has never been more viable :thinkhappy:

    Did you know? You can play Windows-only games on Linux in Steam by just enabling PROTON there :linux:

    Proton? It's Valve's enhancement based on work of Wine project - Wine 7.22 is out now to take things all the more further!

    Wine 7.22 main updates:

    - 32-on-64 thunks for both Vulkan & OpenGL

    - OpenLDAP library bundled / built as PE

    - Support for the RAW print processor in WinPrint

    - More progress on the long types printf format conversion

  25. ::: LibreOffice

    Did You, yes You (who recently found Mastodon out of birdsite) know - there is a free & open Office suite to replace Microsoft's Office!

    What an alternative LibreOffice is nowadays! Available for Linux & Windows, too.

    Here's a fresh overview 📄 /BTW: Odysee is another alternative -- for videos..

  26. Wine 7.21 released!

    More goodies are in the post to enable gaming Windows-only games on Linux - this work of course benefits Steam's Proton dimension :linux:

    The development got the PE work finished! - An important piece.

    But PE what? PE (Portable Executable) is to follow closer with how Windows does things, to improve compatibility, and as a benefit it could also allow WoW64 without 32-bit dependencies.

    (Wow64.dll provides the core emulation infrastructure and the thunks for the Ntoskrnl.exe entry-point functions.)

    Also the preparing for Vulkan 32bit on 64 bit has started.

  27. If you don't like what #BillGates is planning with #blockchain but see a #bitcoin future, you probably will want to avoid #lightningNetwork.

    Be a #fullNode

    Its a bit of effort but all good things require some effort.
