Honest to god, EU regulators feel like the last bastion of sanity left.
Until they ban encryption…
Well the parties in question are trying this for almost a decade. Mostly the “conservative” party from Germany wants total surveillance. In my eyes they are more right than Conservative
So, Stasi party?
I thought it was tanked after the real sponsors was found out
Who the real sponsor was? Maybe I can read the whole story somewhere?
Not necessarily the same people that advocate for the different ideas.

Not if encrypted traffic with no state-sanctioned backdoor is forbidden.
Until any country ban encryption. Looking at you, USA.
Thanks Jason
There is an old video of people larping in a public park. One guy is pulling bean bags out of a little pouch on his side and throwing them at the person he is battling. With each throw he screams “lightning bolt!!!”. Your username reads like three of his lightning bolt attacks.
It is worth mentioning that changes you made to the IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json file won’t have effect in stable versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft has to roll out this new capability to the stable branch in March 2024.
It’s annoying that this is all the way at the bottom of the article. Good to know I can do all this, glad I didn’t attempt to change any of this now, because it’s pointless until these updates hit stable
came here to complain about this. BTW, found a more complicated way to remove edge on Tom’s. makes linux howtos look preschool
These systems are critical to serving ads/propaganda. This is a dark day for the free world
Just a JSON file in Windows 11 enables you to dock the fucking taskbar to the side of your screen.
I’m just a simple girl with simple desires.

You know, if you use Linux you don’t have to jump through hoops like this (trivial though they may be). Wouldn’t it be nice to not have an adversarial, abusive relationship with your OS?
Some of you sound like the annoying stereotype of vegans pushing their diet lifestyle.
That’s because like vegans, there is a moral imperative that most ignore or don’t care about, we have a genuine emotional attachment to foss, and because you are ignorant of the topic, you don’t care to listen.
What he said is harmless, true, and there is a moral imperative to say it, and ontop of that it isn’t like a diet, it’s better software that respects you, doesn’t spy on you, and for free and the only downside is a 15 minute install process (and the use of a flash drive). Why do you care enough to fight that?
If linux was a better software, it would have a substantial desktop share. But it doesn’t since it’s the most unintuitive userhating software built by man.
Because as we all know, the free market always comes up with the correct answer and is never distorted by companies.
I’ve never seen any OS being shilled like linux, it even beats apple fanboys during its heyday. A free OS that’s constantly pushed down our throats should by all means be a consumers number 1 choice if it was good.
But I guess having to learn 5 million commands to open a folder is bad design, who knew? I have better use for my time than debug drivers and figure out dependencies when W10 sort of works all that out for me in an intuitive fashion.

Thanks for showing that you’re not acting in good faith, bye.
You know exactly what I mean though. I just think you can’t bear to come up with a lie explaining how “sudo fifo 8 6 j u77f6j 87” is good design.
mkdir directory_nameThis comment too was posted without an /s. Insane how furries think that is a normal thing to do to use your pc
Just fuck off and let me use whatever OS I want
Nobody has forced you to do anything, suggesting better, more respectful software is not force, why bother fighting against a more ethical alternative that respects you?
You’re free to choose and they’re free to criticise.
Ableton Live and plugins don’t work on Linux, and I’d rather run it on my own build, so I have to use Windows. That’s also the machine I game on. Everything else is Debian.
It’s not Linux or Windows. For example Gaming and everyday Tasks I use Windows because Games I play run much better on Windows and I like to use it more. But for things like programming I will use Linux. I’m just beginning learning to code but I already made the painful experience of trying to get compiler, debugger etc. running on windows.
Linux and Windows are Tools. You can’t use a Hammer for every Taks, sometimes you need a Screwdriver.
Some tools are easy to repair but some tools detect if replaced parts are not from the manufacturer and refuse to work, or even require a subscription. You may say you really need a “screwdriver” but that doesn’t negate the criticism it requires being shoved up your fucking ass to work.
Bruh. In which Industry do you work? Don’t act like using Windows/Linux is causing you physical Pain.
I believe proprietary software gives unjust power to the creators/owners over the users and that most people being taken advantage of is detrimental to a free society.
Yeah, let me know when Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, OpenRoads Designer are operable and supported on Linux.
Sweet, even less garbage to clutter up the ol gaming rig.
Maybe one day game devs will enable anticheat on Linux so I can finally uninstall the shit OS.

EasyAntiCheat is already there.
I think whatever Valorant has is the main issue. Back 4 Blood also doesn’t work for some reason, nor does it work in a Windows VM.
Just install Linux already. Have any inevitable windows requirements? Run them in a VM until you can get rid of them. Fuck Microsoft and their bullshit
I dunno man, I recently put Mint onto my Lenovo and… the refinement just isn’t there STILL. dual monitor management isn’t very good, even mouse acceleration doesn’t play well when you go from the touchpad to an external mouse. Sure, many things have improved, but the fit and finish just isn’t even where windows was a decade ago…
I have dual monitors with different scaling and refresh rates, both work perfectly. Even VRR works as expected. I’m using Manjaro KDE with Wayland, Intel CPU, AMD GPU.
Linux Mint hasn’t finished their work on Wayland and thus, the things you are experiencing are unfortunately expected. So you might want to try with another distro with GNOME or KDE.
When people suggested you Mint, they were wrong in ignoring your setup.
That’s another issue with Linux: one thing works in distro X and another thing works in distro Y. OS should just work. Linux doesn’t.
Linux works. It’s only a Kernel.
Android is also a linux distro. To you, it might seem as another OS. So from that point of view, each distro would be a dIfferent OS. So you should judge each distro as such.
So, what people told you Linux is, in fact that Kernel on top of a ton other software.
You can’t expect all distros to be the same. Because their purposes are different.
That’s not what people mean when saying “switch to Linux”.
They mean a Linux based OS, and say Linux for short. They could also say GNU/Linux, but chose not to. I do it every single time, but its for convenience, but technically imprecise.
When we are talking about distributions being different, that’s their whole purpose, since their only common denominator is the underlying kernel.
You’re just moving the conversion sideways. If you have nothing to say on the topic - move on.
I will never install Linux because I’ll never trust that it’ll be easier to use than windows, and that’s all I want.
I can’t count the number of people that have told me I should be on Linux and that if I use Mint it’ll be a piece of perfect cake, despite me also seeing comments like this on a pretty regular basis.
Why is it that so much of the community REFUSES to acknowledge any shortcomings? Almost like it’s their child and you’re personally attacking their parenting by suggesting its not flawlessly simple.
Try Fedora with KDE.
In my opinion it’s the best one for having the most ease-of-use hardware support out of the box, as they’re backed by IBM, which used to own Lenovo.
Anti-cheat is still a major issue. Even in a VM with GPU pass-through, anti-cheat will still prevent some popular games from running.
As an artist, the hassle of running a VM can actually kill creative flow. Same with alternatives.
People underestimate how much such a tiny can completely disrupt flow of thoughts, esp for creative works.
It’s not even laziness either. It just “feels wrong”
Installed Mint. I needed quite a lot of work to make for example IDE configured CORRECTLY. (VSCodium on flatpak is a pain in the ass, don’t recommend). But aside of that, after small tweaks and customizations and I like it. I’ll make a point that I kad previous experience with Linux (PopOS/Mint/Ubuntu), although not a positive one. Now I’m seeing that being here is vastly better than windows, and ofc more concise. The backup system is nice, allows you to revert for example an update (which was important for my case cuz after major system update, fingerprint authentication on login screen was borked, and needed reinstall). Overall nice experience. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.
Running Visual Studio in a VM? No thanks, it is heavy enough as it is. And don’t say use VS Code or Rider. Saying “Just use some other software, so you can use Linux” defeats the entire argument that Linux can be used in place of Windows.
Discord with virtual backgrounds for video calls? Yeah that’s not supported on Linux.
If you’ve got two video cards, which is pretty much the case for anyone with an Intel cpu, then gpu pass through solves many problems. I really only use a Win10 VM for games and Adobe software plus one piece of work software. I think whether your overall point is valid or not depends on what you need Linux for and how much you still depend on Windows apps. To be honest the nicest piece of software available on Windows and not other apps is Nvidia Broadcast. You could use OBS to get your blurred background on Discord but that’s really too much work.
Nothing works under Linux. And the list just just keeps growing.
None of these settings should be controlled by Microsoft. It’s my computer, Satya.

Does this work for non EU?
I’m honestly surprised that I’m going to say this, as I have not used this term and over a decade, but there’s a lot of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) going on in the comments on this topic, trying to shape a certain narrative.
That seems like standard options why would they be disabled?
Microsoft and Apple pervasively install thier entire platform in their Operating Systems so you can’t just have what you need to have on one of their computers, you have the buy the whole platform.
The Linux Eco-system is valued at $100 Billion, has nearly 40 million LoC, and is now Global Mega-Corp Consortium Funded. Link to Linux Foundation Financial Report 2022, “Read The Report”, Page 13.

If we are headed for a global AI monolith or Bladerunner type future, it will surely run on Linux! It’s everywhere and Linux will never again be steered by the community.
Instead use and help make successful any Indie Operating System like Haiku, Aero, or Minix3 instead of literally working as the tinniest cog ever for a Global Mega-Corp Consortium.
You can also just use GhostBSD which is a superb Desktop BSD experience based off of stable FreeBSD that installs and works like Mint. Control your own kernel and everything about your BSD with NetBSD. Now is a great time to get into BSD with NetBSD 10 RC1. Learn it now and you’ll have an OS that when released does only what you want it to do.
Finally there is the fastest BSD, Dragonfly. I made a Dragonfly BSD setup script that will turn a $250 2019 Thinkpad T495 into a lightning fast programmer workstation that does only what you want it to, and hardened. It never even makes one call out to the internet unless you typed the command in or allowed it beforehand.
If you insist on using Linux, then use a distro with an independent kernel that let’s them know you would not like the Linux kernel which has been badly managed by the Dictator Linus, globally taken over.
Can’t any point in Linux just be forked? So if it becomes like Microsoft’s products someone can just fork the preferred version and run from there no?
It kinda already is a Microsoft project by Finance and each of them integrating the other’s systems more and more. Also, the highly paid world programmers are putting non-free blobs and highly complex code into Linux and at 40 million LoC, I propose it will soon be beyond the community to run a coherent fork without all the global code.
What exactly are you criticizing about linux? That it got (too) successful? That it is run in its current form by Linus Torvalds at the top as a sort of benevolent dictator? That it is taking money from sponsors?
Genuinely curious, this is a first time I’ve seen such criticism. More often I see linux people in endless flamewars about DEs, wayland vs X, package managers or whatever they feel strongly about and I’m not interested in those.
