Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a so-called "Account Manager" for Windows 11 that appears on the screen when you click your profile picture on the Start menu. Instead of just showing you buttons for logging out, locking your device or switching profiles, it displays Microsoft 365 ads. All the actually useful buttons are now hidden behind a three-dot submenu.

How the fuck are people OK with this?!

This looks like shit, is used for something else already, we already have an icon for the fediverse and this has 0 reason to exist

Does it matter? It's the same outcome either way

'It' is gender neutral so it was resolved

This was resolved and the PR was merged

That's literally it. People are getting angry over unsubstantiated information for 0 reason

So do you have any evidence for this instead of just dropping it with no source?

Ngl this will blow over in like 2 weeks, FOSS drama has the lifespan of a moth

 

I guess this is a cautionary tale.

I was recently having issues with my Gmail account that's tied to my Epik ( a domain registrar ) account, so when I was supposed to renew my domain, I didn't receive any e-mails about it. When I decided to randomly check on my website, it seemed to be down. So I checked Epik and a domain that usually cost £15 a year to renew now cost £400 to renew as it was expired.

As a teenager who does not have £400 to spend on a domain, I decided to just wait until the domain fully expired and buy it for a cheaper price.

After some time, the domain fully expired and GoDaddy decided to buy it as soon as it did, and charged me £2,225 to renew the domain. I don't understand how a price that large is justified, considering that my website gets barely any visitors and I basically only use the domain for hosting stuff. No idea how hiking prices this much is legal

No, because Librewolf also adds fingerprint resisting which is stronger than Firefox's and has ublock origin installed by default. It also has the ability to block stuff like WebGL and JS canvases by default

Also, Librewolf strips out telemetry and allows for some good about:config flags to be used via simple toggles in settings
