My money is on Microsoft winning.

This will never go to trial, but Microsoft has a killer legal team.

I do not want to enter in systems theory and the like here (see link at the end), but while it is nice and correct to call for

"Developers have the responsibility to ensure that systems like are developed ethically, with safeguards in place to prevent any misuse or harm."

This, I am sorry to say, is wishful thinking...

After discovering that the default launcher on my Pixel 4a does not let me change the search engine to anything else than Google, I tried the launcher. Which isn't bad at all I have to say, until I saw my logs. Holy moly, it attempts to contact Microsoft almost every minute!

Thinking that this can't be good for battery life, I searched @fdroidorg for an alternative and settled at (https://lawnchair.app) I'm very happy with this one. Thank you for reading.

Looking up "Drupal" and "Notion" and I'm finding how to integrate with the Notion API and I'm like you don't understand I didn't want to work with Notion I wanted to reimplement Notion.

It's okay the urge passed. Just one of those ADHD "I've got a brilliant idea" moments

@georgeharito @randomgeek @codinghorror Oh, that was just the wake-up call that the script kiddies needed adult supervision. got it in the form of being bought by -owned . Careful what you wish for.

The punchline is that @isaacs wrote npm in reaction to how “terribly” ’s and ’s did package management.

I feel seriously betrayed by .

They promised a free and open, completely self-hostable development platform.

Now they are, without consent, transmitting my data to from my self-hosted GitLab 😡.

To avoid that, do not use the new Web IDE, which is Visual Studio Code in your browser (cool), sending data to Microsoft servers (very much not cool).

Jedes Mal bevor ich eine Software/App von Microsoft teste, denke ich an: Überwachung, Rechtsbruch, Bevormundung, Habgier und Umweltschäden.

Und wenn ich dann mit der Analyse fertig bin, werden üblicherweise alle Vorurteile durch Fakten bestätigt. 🙎

Bad news for gamers. We'll see more exclusive games in the near future, I guess. I don't give a shit on Microsoft's promises.

Well, apparently now has the ability to scan inside of password-protected zip archives.

How do I know? Because I have a lot of Zips (encrypted with a password) that contain malware, and my typical method of sharing those is to upload those passworded Zips into a Sharepoint directory.

This morning, I discovered that a couple of password-protected Zips are flagged as "Malware detected" which limits what I can do with those files - they are basically dead space now.

While I totally understand doing this for anyone other than a malware analyst, this kind of nosy, get-inside-your-business way of handling this is going to become a big problem for people like me who need to send their colleagues malware samples. The available space to do this just keeps shrinking and it will impact the ability of malware researchers to do their jobs.

Does anyone knows is there any flash sale for OEM keys? There was a great price at KeyFan.com, but not anymore.

And no, I can't use Libre Office or similar open source solution. Thanks for thinking about it.
