It’s a work computer, so the answer is no.

That was pretty common some years back. Earlier versions of popular discussion boards like phpBB and stuff would store everything in the mysql db in plain text. The practice only changed when sql injections became popular with script kiddies. Malicious admins would also just check user’s email and password and try them elsewhere, reusing passwords was even more commonplace then than it still is today.

I have uninstalled One Drive and enabled a system policy that supposedly sets the default save location to c:\user\documents, and after every single fucking update it defaults back to one drive, hangs for 30 seconds until the stupid ass system realizes that there’s no such thing present, and then it opens a “save as” dialogue with some arbitrary path in %user_apps/appdata/onedrive.

GNARF.

Anti circumventing pushed by an article that doesn’t let me circumvent the cookie consent is really next level.

The moment I see this I delete the game/app and leave a 1 star review. Reap what you sow.

They just block two different options in the software so that they could differentiate.

It is, but sponsored by Mozilla, so some of their staff are probably still involved. And of course is open source, so they could just take the newest release and fork it back, if they’d wish.

Hm ok. I never look at comments or usernames.

Source?

Also (and this is a genuine question): Why would I care? They don’t earn anything from me. Does their political affiliation matter when it comes to sourcing copyrighted material?

Any “article” starting with the words “in the ever evolving world of”… Lost its credibility before it was even published.

God what an awful, awful time to be alive.

Oh they are actually fully open to science. Let them govern magic sky daddies, if it pleases them.

Not until the company goes public, or I’d forfeit my stock options. But I’m positive that’s gonna happen in the next 7 years…

I’m holding a substantial stock option, which ties me down for the mid term, but once that is settled I’m out.

Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032. That’s a problem for future me…

Hopefully by then I’ve switched to an employer that allows me to run Xubuntu in the office. Right now my hands are tied.

And probably some Google analytics tracker in the background as well.

…yet

But do you know about Windows 10 IoT LTSC?

Supported until 2032, and comes without copilot and any other garbage, fully supports local accounts, etc.

All it takes is Firefox with some tweaking. Or simply use it with chameleon (browser plugin) that throws fingerprinting off big time.

I’ve been using Nine as exchange client since 2014, it’s working great. Didn’t receive any updates in well over a year though, but that’s hopefully because there’s nothing needed.

If you’re stuck with Windows at work, you might have. I couldn’t log on to our domain remotely and was unable to open some documents and emails that were signed as “internal use only”.
