Boooo Microsoft Windows
I am interested in this concept of currency, looking forward to see it more in practice after this comes out. (i’m based in the u.s not the e.u)
Since you asked, and I commented on Lemmy about this before.
Back in the Windows XP and even Windows 7 days Microsoft was trying to sell computers to people. It had to convince people why computers are worth their time.
Fast forward to Windows 10 and now it’s, “ok we now got an audience that’s addicted to our operating system, lets see what we can get away with. We might lose like 1% to Linux and like 5% to mac doing some of these while most of everyone won’t switch at all. and we increase our profits.”
Microsoft could care less about your PCs resources when you’re idk, playing some 4k or even 8k video games. What a joke, but for real, if any of you use WIndows at home and don’t want to jump straight to Linux. You can (temporally jump over to Chromebooks, which will mostly work out of the box, and has support for Linux apps.
Chromebook’s I would argue are perfect for getting users use to Linux apps without having to worry about losing any familiarity they might have with Something like WIndows or Mac.
Someone mentioned Libby, which I used before I didn’t realized they did magazine subscriptions, and that they are free and legal.
I’m trying out subscribing to some of these. including tech life news, and wired. Something like this where it’s updated weekly with new news stories, but you have to wait to a certain time point to access is particularly what I was looking for, this might work out without having to use the newspaper.
I use to care, but then I just use Peertube. Oh but there’s not as much content on Peertube. Put the type of content you like on Peertube make a channel it is free. Another tip is, look for specific types of content, and not specific content creators. and if you happened to find a creator you know or knew, follow them on Peertube!
I have plenty of tech Peertube channels that keep me up to date on Peertube, and it’s a type of platform that will never have ads or go a direction I don’'t want it to as a whole in terms of federation of servers and being an opensource video platform.
Server can surely make some unwelcomed decisions, and I can just change servers easily. Better then Youtube no ads, and your experience does not get throttled.
I know, but that’s what the government will do when they want to try to weaken encryption, they’l give their arguments as to *why they want said law to pass to weaken it.
I’m not saying that’s what they *have to do. but rather, it’s what they do, tend to do. You are right, their are other ways they *can go about it using existing laws or legal metheds including warants. But that doesn’t mean that governments aren’t trying to just out right cripple encryption by passing laws, thay had many times before tried this in a notable amount of countries.
I understand why people must protect their encrypted messages at all costs. But the government and others are going to keep using arguments like, “what are people hiding,” or “what *could some people be doing to our children.”
