And that includes gtk3 bloat I am assuming, gtk2 would be even better. But 30MB for a weather app sounds acceptable to me.

I am pretty sure xfce4 weather plugin takes a lot less.

If you use a wrong metric you get wrong results.

Do I still own the device if I can't remove what I want?

The sooner it pops, the better. Later on it will be even worse.

I had been using ai since gpt3.5 and after so many years of bullshit I am also sick and tired of everything related to it. First ai push at work was dumb, now i feel like second pu…

I am surprised they don't record a decrease, maybe this year could be better?

There are many reasons but it's just rare books - in general: they are setting a precedent for people to pirate instead of using libraries. In general companies are trying really h…

If i recall correctly, they had permission from physical libraries to use their copies as well, so it wasn't just a single copy but many copies, just one of them was converted into…

What antitrust? It is a security feature and for regular apps windows has ms store that can do auto updating as well.

Chrome? That is a younger project and it was much less automated back in the day.

On linux it is the opposite, I have never been more happy with my desktop experience.

e.g. visual c++ isnt included tho; Office 365 same thing

It was more tested as real testers were testing it. Nowadays, AI just checks the code.

It would be nice if microsoft had windows update for .net, visual c++, office, windows, edge ... just all their software in one updater, but that would be too easy...

Even enterprise M365 solutions dont have backups unless you pay extra. Always have your own separate backup, ideally offline.
