Nemo can as well. I forgot how, but it’s in there.

Firefox with user agent switcher extension. Problem solved.

Work should supply you with a managed device. That’s out of your control.

I’m genuinely curious though - what ‘personal use’ software do you run that isn’t supported in Linux?

TBH I kinda like the whole “drive letter” thing. But I also understand mount points, so I don’t really miss it, but still. It’s nice to have one single window to see all of your internal & external drives, home folders, and network shares. And yes, I’m aware I can do this in Linux as well. Just needs extra configuration - which is not a bad thing.

Oh for sure, but EU is actually attempting to modernize their laws for the 21st century. Here in the US, you’d be lucky if there was any protection at all, especially with the absolute farce of an administration currently “running” the country (into the ground, that is).

Good points. And fuck snaps. If I have to use some sort of “all-in-one”, it’s flatpak or nothing.

Debian might be slightly harder to set up. However, from what I hear, it’s easy enough for most people now.

It’s pretty easy to install these days. I use Debian exclusively on all of my VMs. I prefer the text-based installer because everything is headless and doesn’t need a GUI, but there’s also a graphical installer as well, which is pretty easy to navigate and use.

are we sure we want to outsource the welding?

The Register when someone informs them of robotic welders in vehicle manufacturing:

My data being in the hands of a 3rd party at all is arguably a larger risk than said 3rd party running Windows. No single individual can control what OS any particular 3rd party runs, and if you hand data over to a 3rd party, at some point you have to trust them. If you don’t trust them, find someone you can trust.

Don’t make everyone else’s choice of OS my problem.

You’re incredibly naiive if you think MS isn’t harvesting that data.

For now. Plus, lots of companies still use Windows “Professional” SKUs.

Thankfully my work laptop runs W11 Enterprise, but still…

I would love this feature if it was entirely local with zero external connections.

But, you know, profits.

At that point you might as well just run Debian Testing with XFCE. Or Xubuntu. Basically the same thing.

Real shocker, right? 😂

As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.

That said, I do not enjoy the new “everything is bigger” view on YouTube’s home page that was clearly designed for mobile. But that can be fixed easily, so it’s a non-issue.

I mean, that’s my take. Also why you hear a lot of moaning and groaning from enthusiasts when a company who makes well-loved products decides to go public. Enshittification always occurs.

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

Yeah, that’s really the kicker, isn’t it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.

It’s a guaranteed death.

You make it sound like the CEO is a changed man. He’s a shitbag through and through.

Because there is legal precedent that says shareholders come first.

You can blame Dodge for this. Yes, that Dodge.

That’s not freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech means you can criticize the government without fear of repercussions.

Last I checked, reddit ≠ government
