Fascism is definitionally when government and companies team up to screw everyone else.

wine, WINE, or both?

They want everyone using Microsoft accounts so they can turn computer usage into a subscription service, plus with Recall you get perfect telemetry. Panopticon is here and you pay …

Addressed in another comment: close all loopholes, then make using your computer a subscription service. It's a great business decision. It's a horrendous decision in all other res…

You were downvoted, but once this is fully closed it's obvious they'll remove local account creation entirely within a year.

Why would you say that? How is the current timeline not already shitty enough for you?

Not until another browser with MV2 commitment picks up the banner that Firefox drops.

And they don't even warn you that's the case, or prompt you to save said key to a separate location off-device and in your control.

You're being deliberately obtuse and that kind of contrarianism is 100% correlated with douchebaggery IMPE. Be better. Unless you somehow aren't kidding, in which I'll clarify: I'm…

That's a good primer, thanks. I hope we get through this bullshit to the wasteland quickly, it'll make it less painful.

I suppose, but I'm shocked that the numbers still come out ahead. Energy cost is way more intensive, and if everyone knows that it's Dead Internet and less and less reaches real co…

What I want to know is why/how they looked at this inevitability and leaned 150% into it. How does this make them money?
