This isn't about influencers, it's about basic privacy rights being taken away.

Now there's grayjay as well, which is a universal media streaming client that respects your privacy.

What a weird way to say "We don't like french people"

Does it change the screen's contrast depending on what's being displayed? Because my work laptop does that. If there's a white window on screen, contrast is great. But if I minimize that and just have something dark on screen, it slowly reduces the contrast until I can barely read anything.

For linux clients maybe, but definitely not for windows clients. Microsoft practically killed Virtualbox, so we have to use Hyper-V at work now. And unlike virtualbox, it doesn't let me install my keyboard layout in the VM via MSKLC, which is literally made by microsoft. I had to convert my virtualbox VM where it was installed already and guess what, it works perfectly now.

I also have to disable the keyboard manager in powertoys, another microsoft product, whenever I use the VM because capslock gets stuck on inside the VM if I don't. That also happens on VMs without my keyboard layout, so it's a separate issue.

The VM also feels much slower and glitchier than the virtualbox one I used on an older computer.

You literally need a third party application to install an APK. At that point you might as well get an android emulator instead of using this spyware.

There is nothing about windows 11 that's better than on windows 10. Why would anyone switch voluntarily?

Windows 10 at least had better automatic driver installation, touchscreen and multi-monitor support compared to 7, but came with a shitload of ads built right into it. Windows 11 has even more ads, but what does it give you?

This is a german one, it even has the same wrong symbols on the number row as modern german keyboards.

The keyboard does look very nice, good luck with that!

Because their algorithm is pretty damn good at recommending relevant stuff. For example, titanfall 2 got revived and I found a lot of small youtubers (<20k subs) making some incredibly good content through it. The secret is to click "not interested" on all the clickbait crap often enough and at some point it'll learn.

Though I do use SmartTube on an android TV and block out crap like shorts altogether because google's youtube app is unusable.

Oh yeah, I forgot they replaced CSGO. That was a scummy move indeed given the game lacks those major features.

given that the lawmakers who enact crap like that are usually tech-illiterate, we at least have high chances of loopholes.

At this point, I instinctively disagree with anyone who tries to "protect the children" or "fight terrorism". I tried challenging that prejudice many times, but never had any success.
