I don't get why this is such a revelation. Windows 11 is a modified and reskinned Windows 10, which is a modified and reskinned Windows 8, which is a modified and reskinned Windows 7 which is a modified and reskinned Windows Vista which is a modified and reskinned Windows XP.

This isn't news, if you look through any beta release of Windows you'll know that they all start off looking identical to their predecessors, mainly because they share a lot of code.

Despite the consensus of Google from people who know about alternatives or ways to avoid it, Google is still the most mainstream and de-facto search engine in atleast the English speaking world, and is the top most visited website in the world.

I wish people would stop saying something is "dying" when they personally dont like it anymore or don't use it as much, you don't speak for the world.

This trick has always come across as a dark pattern to me and seems a bit disingenuous. There's no way it would take that long.

Can we refrain from memeing a political movement that has resurged in respect to the countless people that have been murdered by police just for their skin colour?

Well I think Oculus is a no go for a lot of people now, as cheap as they are.

What's with the "Good Standing" thing? I've heard people got banned for simply linking their Facebook and Oculus account. Why does Facebook consider this reasonable? Why remove people's ability to play games because they broke the TOS for an entirely different platform? You're not my mom.

So they've essentially done what they have been doing for years. A bit unrelated, but what with the controversy surrounding TikTok and Facebook making a clone making me think the US is on the same track.

Dark times, I'm not sure that scratch even violates their regime, it's almost petty.

It's funny, because their website is horrendously broken on mobile.

Now, hmm, I wonder what would've fixed that.

I have reservations about Apple, but ill never deny that their product engineering for both the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch continue to impress me.

Now if only they could get engineering like this into the Macbook line, because that's easily the worst product they sell for engineering.

I'm a diehard Android user, but you cant deny the benefits of Apple's tightknit ecosystem.

Apple is a very "my way or the highway" in their approach to software design. This doesn't really matter to Apple as a company because an overwhelming majority of their customers wont know or care about this controversy or limitation and will continue to use the apps Apple allows and only those.

I'm a Firefox user, but I don't see myself using Lockwise, it's too lacking in features, not to mention the security caveats of using your browser's password "manager". You're better off using a third party like Bitwarden or KeyPass.

Edit: Brain mashed together 1Password and KeyPass.
