No, not just Microsoft services or features (or subscription based software), ads for games and apps on their store get jammed in the start menu as well. And as other commenters have pointed out, lots of budget phones and hardware jam ads a

What makes you think this is unique to Chinese tech companies? Windows 11 put ads in our start menu.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some light brigading going on from rivals. There's also some really lazy frontend devs out there that get indignant about testing on Firefox. Chrome is the new IE and Google is the new Microsof

This is from Troy Hunt of Have I Been Pwned fame and I'm almost positive that even in the last year he still gets legal threats from companies that he contacts about embarrassing security risks.

It's always going to be something lightweight and probably tiling for me. Right now I'm using Sway because I'm doing the Wayland thing and I'm a sucker for /r/unixporn type desktops. That being said eventually

Yeah but honestly, it's sounds automatable enough.

I'd recommend andOTP here as it is open source and not tied to any company that's trying to sell you anything.

It's actually an awful idea. The whole benefit of working for a large company is that you DON'T need to sacrifice outside of your 9-5. This is that outdated grind mentality that managers sell to convince people this is needed to g

THIS. Please ask your coworkers for help. If the company isn't a toxic shithole your colleagues will be happy to help out. Modern screen sharing, code pairing and mobbing tools have made doing this in a remote working environment incre

And yet modern advances point to tech bros trying to limit the USERS power of that internet. It's already impossible for a lot of people to host their own web server from their home, to own the media they purchase without it potentiall

I'd be more optimistic about AR and VR if it hadn't been almost immediately monopolised by Facebook and Google. Now instead of actual creativity we get VR Walmart, using 3D UX decisions that game developers realised don't wor

I've been jumping back into desktop Linux in a big way just because of this. It may be a big step backwards in usability, but there's the satisfaction of knowing that what you've got does exactly what you want, and nothing mo

No guarantees about the personal beliefs of the person/people running the forums, who seems to be the major blocker of this patch / discussing the patch.

You're making things up; who are these Linux users demanding anything? Generally speaking once a game developer gets it working on Ubuntu the Arch wiki guys will happily figure out the rest on their own.

It IS a fork of Emby, however, which is quite similar to Plex in how it behaves. Crucially, Jellyfin does not make you log into someone elses website for your own content. Don't you find that kinda weird about Plex? But yes, the downsi

Why pay an older software engineer a high rate for a wealth of experience when you can hire two graduates who won't make a 25 year old trust fund baby tech bro feel inadequate

Linux and Steam OS will continue to be an escape hatch, it is in their business interests to continue hedging their bets. Just because the Microsoft Store didn't pan out a few years ago doesn't mean they won't try again.

One of reddit's most common in-jokes is the moderation team on /r/the_donald banning literally anyone who wasn't pro-Trump while allowing white supremacist posts on their subreddit. So they were doing that anyway.

"At least" is right; he is doing the very least he can. If they are working for the wealthiest man on the planet he could afford to pay them a decent wage.

No, Epic is at fault for having a basic bug that is incredibly easy to exploit. At what point did people who browse a site called "Hacker News" start believing in Security through Obscurity?

Wondering why this guy put corners in a civ game to begin with. /r/civbattleroyale is generally a lot more interesting given a lot of civs are selected specifically to try to play to their terrain strengths.
