Why should it be? A faulty software update from a 3rd party crashes the operating system. The exact same thing could happen to Linux hosts as well with how much access those IPSec programms usually get.

Apple is a bit like Microsoft in that regard. Their browser (safari) is so tightly integrated into their operating system that removing it is basically impossible. Due to that, they can use/abuse it for basic functionality like a pdf reader instead of creating a separate app for it.

Android, on the other hand, doesn’t even have a real default browser. While Chrome ships as the default since android 4, it’s basically just the app tacked on top. Since PDF readers on android existed before Chrome became the default, Google was never really bothered with including a build in PDF reader in their browser. It simply wasn’t necessary. And since most browser depend on chromium, which lacks this functionality, they don’t have it either.

Firefox on Android has the option to open PDFs, so if you want it, that would be an option. It isn’t a limitation of the operating system, Google simply couldn’t be bothered and most others just use copy + past on Chrome.

As a general rule, the goal is simply to assume control over the government, as is the case in Ukraine.

Yeah no, that’s just plain wrong. Russia, at the very least, is committing cultural genocide if not much worse. Ukrainian families get broken up so their kids can be better indoctrinated.

The main character of the novel “Infinite Mana in the Apocalyps” literally has the traits “I’m the Main Character”, “Plotarmor” and “Nexus Events”, so you are good with that choice.

Yeah, but it lies.

No it doesn’t, at least not if the update isn’t already a month overdue

But a future Windows update will reset them without informing the user.

I’ve done 3 years worth of updates in one day cause I needed too. Pretty much everything was reset including registry edits, but the privacy toggles were one of the few things that stayed persistent. Maybe it’s a EU special feature (wouldn’t be the first), but at least here they won’t change back silently.

I’ve spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I’ve spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.

Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.

You can’t, end of discussion.

The most that the city or the police can do is issuing them a small fine for the noise complaints. The only one with even an ounce of power here is their landlord, but then it depends heavily on your country/state.

Lemmy is a nice place if you share the same values, but once your opinion differs even somewhat, you won’t have that good of a time.

Manche Leute meinen sie müssen ihr Schnitzel wenigstens bis zur Hälfte I’m Fett liegen haben zum anbraten.

First, how does one even “fail” on MSO?

Secondly, you switched over the least tech savvy people that relied solely on an existing workflow to get anything done. You destroyed their workflow, denied them the option to use older documents as a reference due to how badly messed up MS documents often get when opened with Libre and you gave them an alternative that’s just different enough that nothing works as expected, but still similar enough to just be seen as a different office version.

These are the last clients id switch over.

Can they find out?

No, not really. The Metadata doesn’t have a “pirated” flag and something like the product key doesn’t get saved. Microsoft themselves probably know due to their telemetry but even they can’t be bothered about it. I would bet that even you send a pirated document to the Microsoft CEO, they wouldn’t notice or even care enough to look for it.

But as always there is the important rule of “don’t fuck with work stuff, ever”.

It’s already questionable why she is editing company documents on here private PC without either a dedicated and remotely managed work particition + VPN or an O365 online work account. These documents fall under far stricter data safety regulations and the way it is right now, she is personally liable for any data leaks.

In a dorm its legal but may be against your contract.

At school/work you probably aren’t officially allowed to charge your devices, so it’s theft.

Even if you are allowed to charge your phone at work, they technically may have to meter it and tax it as additional benefits depending on your country.

Or it uses Code that’s publicly available but you aren’t allowed to redistribute.

That explains how she had a headstart in her career, but has nothing to do with her being so popular right now.

You don’t play many competitive multiplayer titles then. Anticheat us always a pain.

Battleye and Easy Anti Cheat are Linux native, but just cause that’s the case doesn’t mean they will work. Half of the games using them either never had an official linux version or are currently broken again.

A few games using Xigncode and nProtect work too, but there the number is even lower.

Punkbuster worked on wine for 5 years but often needs to be installed manually.

As for the more aggressive ones like Riccochet and Vanguard, you can’t even run them in a VM environment.

1. Es gibt für Bauern keine effektivere Art zu demonstrieren. So ne normale Demo, bei der die Leute durch die Stadt laufen, wird einfach ignoriert.

2. Traktoren laufen bei größeren Betrieben fast jeden Tag durch und haben dabei noch oft extra Zuglast dran. Die drei Tage Reise nach Berlin fallen da überhaupt nicht auf.

Eine gut organisierte Demo würde ich aus Prinzip nicht als Ressourcenverschwendung bezeichnen. Vor allem, da zu dieser Jahreszeit relativ wenig auf den Feldern zu machen Ist.

Oder wie wäre es wenn dein Arbeitgeber dir nach dem nächsten Streik das Gehalt kürzt, weil “ihr ja Zeit zum Streiken hattet”.

Tbh, the amount of users uninstalling edge is so miniscule, it would not be worth it to mess with them by blocking updates.

This probably comes from the way Edge is integrated into a fuckton of background processes and wasn’t a targeted attack.

That’s only an issue if you torrent your stuff in which case linux wont save you. A windows virus/cryptominer/keylogger/etc. won’t natively work on Linux, but it will work if used with wine.

Doing all that takes about 2 hours. The shady ass tool is also unnecessary since you can manually change the registry entries. Once it’s done I can install anything by double clicking the exe and it runs 99.9% of the time.

Linux meanwhile only takes half an hour to setup and update (if we are talking about a beginner friendly one like mint cinnamon), but you will use a lot more hours trying to get everything to run. There rarely are good drivers for peripherals, to get even slightly more then the most barebone functions of my logitech gear I have to run a shady github project someone slapped together 3 years ago. The adaptive clock on my laptop doesn’t work, I loose about 2 hours of battery life and the touch pad stops working after a few hours.

I dualboot a win10 ltsc version and mint. By now most stuff runs fine on Linux, but it has taken me 10 times the effort to get to that state compared to windows. And even now I occasionally have to fiddle with wine cause it decides that this specific programm isn’t to its liking. And that’s ignoring the issue it was to run anything with anticheat. That requires a VM with GPU passtrough to even remotely work.
