  1. Hello #Linux users. Have you uninstalled #Windoze yet? I heard that it's full of #AI and #slopware

  2. 🖖 Common sense becomes common again!

    “This is not a recommendation or a preference, it is a mandate. Germany’s decision to anchor ODF at the heart of its national sovereign stack confirms what we have argued for years: open, vendor-neutral document formats are not a niche concern for some technology specialists and FOSS advocates.
    They are a fundamental infrastructure for democratic, interoperable and sovereign public administrations.” ―itsfoss.com/news/germany-digit

  3. The irony of #Windoze nagging me to review and complete piffling energy efficiency settings for my Uni laptop, whilst forever keeping trying to bypass my refusal to have anything to do with #Copilot is off the scale...

  4. To those who still have a dedicated machine solely for configuring niche peripherals, no more need for moral anxiety, they get detected using a Windoze virtual machine with QEMU/KVM (requires at least a system with partial TPM 2.0 support): arscyni.cc/file/software.html#

    It takes slightly more attention to set it up than Oracle VirtualBox, but it runs ten times faster.

    “they don't have the right chipset to run what Windows wants for security”

    Really? I heard #Microsoft does this to be able to run its #AI on people's #computers. The idea is, make sure people have the necessary resources to be #tracked.

    There was a great #interview/#discussion about privacy, including this #topic. It was between a #woman and a #man, done #remotely. The man was the one who taught the woman about the importance of #privacy, and in that interview they were discussing various topics in general. IIRC, the man's name was #Megan or so. 🤔 If anyone knows the #video and has the #link, please #share it, I need it. :tony_smiling:
    Thank you

    “Kunnen we alstublieft stoppen met het promoten van verkwisting van grondstoffen en afhankelijkheid van een Amerikaans en onethisch belastingontwijkend bedrijf zoals Microsoft? De meeste van deze computers zijn nog perfect bruikbaar met Linux.”

  20. Goddamn Windows

    **UPDATE
    We're back on, but I'm not holding my breath!

    Getting repeated BSODs... Maybe a driver or kernel issue that is almost impossible to trace. Unfortunately the website will not be updating with fresh propagation maps until I can resolve the issue. My apologies.

    Of all the Internets I've consumed today this frame satisfied the most.

  22. @danslerush Sad misuse of power. Now they are forced to use other tools. Might be a long-term benefit. I wish they would do that to my employer. We normally only stop using when forced. In any case it shows that anyone and everyone needs to have redundant systems to prevent bullying and data loss.
    What would happen if suddenly shut its ?
    Need by law to know where in the computer our raw data is & by law to be able to back it up using 3rd party systems.

  23. PewDiePie's Linux 🐧 video. It's good, ánd it's funny. So much so that I'm jealous.

    With this potential critical mass combined with the gaming community it's all downhill for Windoze from here.

  24. One wonders if EMAS* ever audited their own use of Microsoft software and consequentially Microsoft's significant deleterious impact on society by monopoly, planned obsolescence, massive tax evasion, et cetera.

    Moral of the story: use Linux, LibreOffice, etc.

  25. Sometimes I wonder if #microsoft #windoze has gotten any less annoying since the last time I dug into it. And then something comes up making me dig into it and the answer is no, it has not gotten any less annoying.

  26. Ah, they grow up so quick!

    K, my partner-in-crime, who, like me, is an over-60's oldie, was fighting with an old HP laptop; Windoze wasn't letting her log in (The bastard!) and I wanted to claim it for myself. Hey, she already has an Intel laptop, an Apple laptop, an Apple desktop, and an (old) iPad! I wanna play with microcontrollers, and the IDE's are Linux or Windoze based.

    "So," says I, "I'll wipe it and set up Linux."

    "No, you bloody won't," says she, "I dunno what's on there, and you ain't getting near it until I check!"

    "Yes, dear," says I wisely. 48 years together, and I may have finally learned my place.

    I had a snooze and woke to find her with a Linux distro up and running on the HP, with her Macbook talking to it and merrily transferring a few gigs of photography files.

    Clever clogs, my wife is 🥰

  27. Do windoze "updates" ever end? I swear I've checked at least 3x since this afternoon and *each time* I've seen *another* blasted update to yet another thing - a new version of windoze 11, a new "security update", whatever. Why can't it just apt-get dist-upgrade and be done like the rest of the civilized world?

    Yeah yeah, I know, windoze. But it's the only thing NINA runs on and I need to run NINA. So. Windoze.

  28. If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windows Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

    What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

  29. I hear #Crowdstrike sent a ten dollar voucher to those affected by the 'outage', AND IT DIDN'T WORK! 🤣🤪🤡 @theregister #WinDoze #windowscrash
