- but explicitly allowing non-commercial use. Neat.

One thing I was kinda wondering about - as long as there's nothing in the T&Cs of your instance, don't you implicitly hold the copyright to your comment? Isn't the CC license actually more permissive? Or is it more about "that model was trained on content available under this license, to comply with it, they have to follow it's terms"?

Why not just a physical TOTP token? There's ones that do 100 Tokens, probably won't need more than that. Smartphone for 2fa seems overkill.

With some people it feels like their more gear collectors than producers. Though I gotta admit there where times where I bought a piece of equipment that was kinda outside the scope of what I needed because I thought it was nice to have.

There doesn't have to be anything wrong with it, though I seem to remember that BitLocker isn't all that difficult to break if your passphrase isn't long enough. I just found it a bit weird because unlocking via TPM very much feels like the standard solution under Windows.

Aren't you using the TPM for full disk encryption, though? Or are you entering your BitLocker Password at every boot?

I mean, not defending Win11 here, it has lots of other issues, but I'd just put each excel sheet on a different virtual desktop and switch with the keyboard. Always felt that clicking was a bit inefficient anyway.

Curiously, for me it's more or less the other way around, in a sense. I run Linux on both my Desktop and my Laptop, and feel that after setting them up the way I like, I am more productive than under Windows. In Windows, I oftentimes had the feeling that I had to work against the OS whenever I wanted to configure it in a way that wasn't quite standard, while I tend to feel that I can work with the OS when using Linux. Especially Win11 introduced lots of things that detracted from the user experience for me, and where only changeable by editing the registry, which isn't great.

I do recognise that parts, or even most of that probably isn't applicable to the standard user, but as what could reasonably be called a power user, I never really had any problems working with Linux.

I'd also say that for non-power users, people who mainly work within Word processors, or their browser, a stable LTS distros can in some cases be less hassle than Windows.

Regarding Excel - gotta give that to you, I always felt that Excel in isolation was good software, and I am not aware of any replacement that's equally as friendly to non-programmer users, while also being equally as capable.

Regarding your last point - Dunno, I don't work there. I would however raise that inertia can be quite powerful. No one ever got fired for buying IBM, no one ever got fired for licensing Windows. Doesn't mean that there aren't other, possibly good, reasons.

Well, Munich decided to switch back around the time Microsoft was negotiating about building their Germany HQ there. There have been allegations of backroom dealings, but I dunno if there's ever been anything proven. There is a very big, very shiny building with a sign that says Microsoft near where I lived when I was there, though.

Though I also read some articles about them partially going back to FOSS, so who knows what they'll do in the end.

Thanks for clarifying. I was mostly trying to apply that scenario to a likely real world one, but there's definitely cases in which it could be two factor.

Hmh, I guess, though I feel this is a bit more complicated. What if you can look up the username in the registration mail sent to the inbox? Or it's a site that uses email addresses as usernames? Is it knowing if said knowledge is inferrable from the thing you have?

I'm the outlier, as in I use Apple Music on Android. It has an app that works for me, options for lossless, some fun radio stations, and no podcasts or audiobooks popping up on the home page. Downloads work fine for me, but I did have that skipping bug OP described in a version 6 months ago.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, ignoring of course that streaming as a business isn't all that great.

Edit: Also, why not pirate outright, instead of violating the ToS of a company that has your billing info? I mean, they probably won't do anything, but at that point, just getting the albums as flac somewhere seams more sensible to me.
