I guess I just didn’t have the patience enough to even get that far with it haha All I could think of was the Netscape thing. It was sooo obvious when i opened edge and got halfway into typing “google chrome” when a giant banner pops up and says “you don’t have to install another browser! please bro! Don’t do it!”

preach it, the capture of people into software ecosystems is getting so out of hand. I was thinking about microsoft vs apple, and while they do the same shit at least it seems to work well lol
I hadn’t either until last night. From what I gathered it disables the installation of any softwares that don’t come from the microsoft store i.e. .EXE files for programs that were downloaded from the browser. Getting out of S mode is as easy as creating a microsoft account. I had no interest in that for a variety of reasons.
Darbage@lemmy.todayto Monero@monero.town•How BCH Will Make Monero Obsolete - The Bitcoin Cash PodcastEnglish3·3 months agoI think its rad that both exist. Fight me. I swap between the two constantly. Sometimes I buy/sell etsy type shit. Sometimes I buy/sell Escobar type shit. If all bigwig companies/politicians had to transact on a public ledger- good. If my broke ass can transact privately and immutably- also good. Some transactions, for the betterment of the world, should be public- and conversely, mine should be private lol
They can ban all they’d like. To your point it seems tantamount to stating that crime is illegal.
I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows. I have a bar, the menu is left. I was a pirate before anything and I learned on windows. There was a point where it made sense that the world used it, I think that time has passed. I really am such a pleb that hardware issues only effect me if it doesn’t work. In this I guess I am saying that the freedom to abuse and break my hardware is important. I don’t want to sell my soul or be told “no”. install the program, I know it was written for windows. I don’t want a microsoft account.
Edit: my drunk ass had said older(er)

I usually get a refurbished pixel a few generations old and use it until it literally falls apart
well man, I was scrambling looking for a terminal to actually do something and It was disabled in S mode O.o I will keep that in mind though should I ever be called to mess with another windows machine.
