pan_troglodytes, to opensource in Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

pan_troglodytes, to piracy in Amazon's Prime Video will start serving ads on January 29 unless you pay extra

i only use it because it comes with Prime, which I do use, quite a bit.

pan_troglodytes, to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

win10 is still supported for 3 more years - if you pay for it.

pan_troglodytes, (edited ) to linux in Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

2008 financial crisis

aka sub-prime lending. this sort of thing has happened before, “buying on margin” in the 1920s, for the stock market. it didnt end well then either.

the way that laws work is that if you sign a contract, it’s legally binding - so if you take out a giant loan to buy a house & cant make the mortgage payments, you’re out of house and you’re liable to pay back the loan. you gotta read the fine print before you sign anything.
