I think your opening statement is getting you down votes.

This tech isn’t aimed at consumers, it is for business users where the business has decided to deploy remote windows servers for their employees.

I wouldn’t want one of these as a daily home pc.

There is a lease, but the current law allows the landlord to end it early with 1 or 2 months notice. That is ending in May.

Every bios I’ve used has 2 sets of certificates built in. The default one is the Microsoft production certificate and the Linux bootloader doesn’t match. But their should be another certificate for open source systems that will work.

Secureboot uses certificates to verify integrity. The user is able to install new certificates. So I’d say it is the user? I’m not an expert though and their may be hardware out there that doesn’t allow new certificates.

I will repeat it. Roblox is not a daycare. If you want your kids to go online and play games, then supervise them.

Sorry but the ipad isn’t a fucking pacifier. If you want to leave your children unhindered on the internet, Roblox or whatever, then that’s on you. If you aren’t looking after your child’s well-being, then don’t expect some game to do that for you.

The mental gymnastics people put to place the blame firmly on online games is maddening. I expect those who disagree also let their kids run around the supermarket unsupervised.

It’s this type of thinking that is pushing the “but the kids” rhetoric seemingly world wide.

We either have a free, open and anonymous internet… or a dystopian identity-required-at-every-point-of-access, heavily moderated, hellscape.

The internet isn’t a daycare, the parents should be playing with them or close by at all times.

Until Big Crochet buy up all the materials. Fuck Big Crochet

A handful of examples shown and then a public vote for defederation seems wild and loose to me.

The collateral damage from this is a mix of unwanted drama (see this post) and a whole bunch of users cut off from another that did nothing wrong.

Lemmy is still young and small. These spats only hurt it’s community and image.

The most annoying thing is that users from Europe get to skip most of this. No privacy option nagging, no OneDrive nagging.

I could do what you did in 40 minutes, including the updates (no idea why yours took 40 minutes, I’d say about 20 for a fresh install).

So it is possible, but it’s Microslop so…

I don’t think that is much different to any other software firm that sells propriety commercial software.

Yeah and no. When I moved from Reddit, which I also browsed on /r/all it would be an ever ending stream of content.

When moving to Lemmy the amount of content was much less, even more so in 2023. It’s been getting better and better since then.

It was a shock at first and my immediate reaction was of disappointment. However it quickly became apparent how addicted I was to the phone, and not having the content and an absolute refusal to go back to Reddit, meant I started living.

Lemmy has been an absolute plus to my life. I am grateful.

Browsing “all” I can get through “top 12 hours” in about 30 minutes.

Why is it called “far-right” and then “radical left”

Welcome to the internet. We hope you enjoy your stay!

It’s not as great as the news is making it out. Yes there are some boos in the midst of cheers and whistles, but it’s mild.

The original version of this has Lemmy on there. Why replace with piefed? Could have added instead of replaced.

I’m going to install it on edge and use it as my daily driver.

the cruelty is the point

Does this not happen in Europe? Never known OneDrive to be so intrusive.
