Found the millenial

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

sighs heavily in Australian

They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory

you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?

whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you’ll buy time on a “cloud pc” like what microsoft will already sell you in azure

Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn’t make enough money, that’s why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.

Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from

This is how the renfair types on Hysperia talk.

Billups would not be impressed

More for tiling 3 windows across it, or editing a long document

… I have played raiden on it a few times

I’m asking from a desktop perspective.

my second monitor is rotated

Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something

The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?

It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn’t necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don’t offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.

There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.

No one knows

Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1

For me it has been since 2012.

My private tracker has multiple transmission versions on their approved list 🤷‍♂️

Why would I want those extra features in my torrent client? My transmission runs in a container and does its job

it is my understanding that our sucky Assistance and Access Act, is fundamentally different, it compels developers provide back doors where it will not systemically undermine the system. To my understanding the UK one requests “breaking” e2ee in its entirely - which is why services like Signal were considering full exiting the region?

the money is drying up, gotta find new ways to monetise

If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we’d be living in a utopia by now.

They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there’s been other countries trying the same BS

People who hate them have never driven them

Similarly if nvidia wanted me to buy their cards they’d get their drivers sorted out. While plugging in an amd card just works with literally no setup from me, nvidia will get no money from me

Brave at least claims to be an actual fork of chromium, they cherry pick upstream apparently. It’s still full of crypto bs, so choose your poison.
