in civilised countries

Wrong.

Microsoft can only operate as a franchise overseas. You know this thing called trade law in other countries. Contrary to popular American belief, they are not the center of the world

Apparently it was wasting time trying to circumvent a product built to steal IP and invade privacy. Every update will reset any customisations and plenty have ignored group policy. Microsoft are implemtning access controls that will also remove the ability to customise as deep as you have been (kernel level protection) so bye bye admin rights.

You want a declarative operating system? NixOS. It will change how you approach templating and the standard environment.

Its config language and structure doco is annoyingly lacking but the community fills the gap with the added benefit of everyone sharing configs. Its also 2024, Linux is vastly different than it used to be. Hell nvidia is stepping up because cloud AIs…

Love how you cherry picked a bunch of old news not relevant . Its 2024, not 2003.

Development experience in linux is significantly better. Get off the cult and join the overwhelming majority industry which is built on it. Your skills and IP will be better off and protected for it.

If the microsoft product teams can develop on macbooks you bet your arse you can develop for any platform on Linux, and frankly most cloud platform preference opensource. Skill issue.

method exists, but the trait bounds were not satisfied

If you HAVE to use the toilet of an OS. Use a system(machine) startup script that runs a cleanupon every boot. Its a hot mess solution to a hot mess OS. But at the end of the day they cannot be trusted and changes are coming to windows access levels which will prevent the cleanup of “essential” apps, services, and configurations.

So switch to Mint.

Microsoft is getting desperate to steal your IP so they can train their AI.

Can someone sue the living shit out of them and start setting precedents please and thanks.

Its called Linux Mint. Easier to install than windows, significantly cheaper, and frankly easier to configure.

lol fresh food is like all public health and wellbeing is non existent unless its been heavily industrialised to make as much money out of it as possible.

Its l worse than that, its got nothing to do with replacing humans. Its entirely Venture Capalist porn full of hot air. Truely amazing how much money is being wasted on a word predictor.

Wisdom implys it has intelligence, it does not. It’s a word predictor.

Your existence

Exactly!

I’m looking squarely at Adobe and other companys who fraudulently represent services, because nothing is a product any more and extorting money by charging rent or stealing IP is the new white collar crime.

Good luck with that. Its got no guarantee of working and can be ignored and it does.

Paypal is cancerous middleman. You do not need and on those rare occasions where you want to risk the transaction, never link it to your bank account. Use disposable prepaid services.

Greece has some port big problems financially that are not going away any time soon. It needs change, it needs exports

Why would any one use bank details that can’t be cancelled for online services? Pay pal is worse. Will hold your money ransom. Being able to cancel payment method is very important, best is unique payment method for each service.

Kids.

Nothing comes close to how difficult it is. It takes everything.

Nothing comes close to how amazing it is, and I mean nothing! It’s fantastic, rewarding in so many ways, it even develops your character.

I didn’t know I wanted them.

Its got nothing to do with this.

Dell are struggling financially, this is a great method to reduce workforce size with minimal cost.

While it obviously depends, it really only depends on how much your building from source. For me its about 1min on a low power processor.

I just did that with hdr on alderlake n95. Easy as hell with NixOS.
