This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.

I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.

I can’t wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.

I feel like I would need to see their accounting books to fully believe that narrative.

The lack of accounting transparency makes all a tale of “trust me I need this money to make this work”.

Genuine question.

How is been running for almost 20 years, most of them with very few ads?

I doubt they had been just sinking money for the kind of their hearts.

I do not know how much it cost to run a service like YouTube. Or how much money they make by ads or other ways. But they have been running for long enough to be a successful business.

And it’s just the latest few years when they are pushing these aggressive techniques.

Finally I don’t need my computer for working, they provided us with company laptops, so I don’t need to worry about compatibility and windows only programs anymore.

So you know what I’m going to do once windows 10 reaches eol.

For my it will certainly be the year of desktop linux.

A million is money but not “controlling the means of production and lobbying politics” kind of money.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

“We have the technology to revive him.”

Reason number #99 to make the switch to linux.

NMS development is the best redemption arc story in a long time.

The laughing comes when you are so used to vim that you begin using :q in other programs and wonder why doesn’t it exit.

Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?

I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there’s a mod I don’t know of.

I had the amazing luck of being introduced to linux at such a young age that i don’t remember the distro. I just remember the penguin.

But the first time I try linux for myself it was mint, of course.

They really need to make do not track binding by law.

And what happens if the government needs that money and Bitcoin price is down?

I don’t see how putting national reserves on such an inestable “asset” would be a good idea.

To be fair current age verification is useless. We all know clicking a button does not verify anything.

Also we know that submitting personal data to a website to verify your age is terrible. Big no no.

I’m curious of what will happen in my country. Here in Spain government said that they will implement a new age verification system using Anonymous digital certificates. The government will issue those and you have to give your ID but the certificate itself it’s anonymous and the website won’t be able to know who is the person behind the certificate. While there’s no implementation yet, I hope they use the kind of anonymous certificates that, once expedited, the government also does not know who is using the certificate when serving as a certificate authority to validate its authenticity.

Let’s see how it goes. I’m afraid even while being privacy friendly with this system Pornhub will block access here to as a threat to other places. At the end is a private company and blocking minors from accessing their content cost them big money, and, of course, money is the only thing that matters to them.

I can’t wait to have to download a crack for my browser so a website thinks that my browser is using wei and no-adblock.

If I have resources Cinnamon.

If I don’t have resources XFCE.

Sorry MATE.

The didn’t buy Twitter for a profit.

He bought Twitter to destroy it because big free horizontal communication platforms are bad for billionaires.

He can’t just close it, so he just destroy it little by little until it is no more.

The same way conservative groups bought Tumblr because it was too sexual liberating for their conservative views.
