Microsoft now thirstily injects a poll when you download Google Chrome

  • If it's a work issued computer, they might not have a say in the choice of OS.

    • “Pelican Burger” and tots

    Jump

  • The burger is so tall that you need to be a pelican to eat it?

    • Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

  • Unless the work is only using a web browser, you need programs and stuff,

    My employer is a sizeable tech firm that uses the Microsoft suite. The irony is that developers use WSL because the software they need are on Linux. We haven't switched to Linux just because the IT department doesn't know shit about managing a Linux fleet of devices. They haven't bothered to get the training/certificates because Windows is the status quo for big corps. This will stay this way until the next gen of sys admins form the majority, I guess.

  • Same with South Asia. That's how the independent resellers do it. The authorised resellers either mark up the price for the Windows license or sell without an OS for a reduced price.

  • Linux is perfect for the average user. Install KDE Neon or Kubuntu for them and they won't know which is which. They will only notice that their computer has become faster. Corporate world and gaming is stil the only two areas Linux hasn't (fully) surpassed Windows.

    • Utilities have been lying to us about gas stoves since the 1970s

    Jump

  • In your opinion where did it go wrong? How should it have been prevented? What should the government/country do to get out the current crisis?

    • Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Yeah I can't wait to read all articles with facts replaced by Republican fantasy. Trump actually won the last election with 99% votes? Oh it must be true then.

    • What things do you do while eating?

  • Don't people blame it on ANS ANC short sightedness about banning new powerplants by Escom and failing to expand the grid and ANC's corruption?

    • What are in your opinion "essential" android apps that aren't as popular/talked about?

  • Libretube can do the same. It's free and open source and has absolutely no ads! It has both audio and video modes.

    What does it have to be anything with him being deaf? I feel like a piece of the meme is missing.

    • How hard is it to make an extension for firefox?

    Jump

  • In this day and age, all browsers (I think) use the WebExtensions standard. So the same extension can be run on both Chrome and Firefox. If anything, it's easier to publish an extension on Firefox because it's free and fast. On Chrome however, you have to pay Google to have a developer account.

    • What feature are you dying for to come to your DE - Linux?

    Jump

  • The point is that you don't have to maintain any custom scripts. Everything come per-configured out of the box. You only have to tweak what you don't like. Is that any different from KDE, Gnome, XCFE or any of the "easy" DEs and their configs?
