Not to mention this will be the first time a company has faced scrinuty under both the DOJ and the FTC as this new antitrust scrinuty is from the FTC which is the other organization here in the US responsible for the enforcement of antitrust law

Oh yeah 😏

This will be interesting since it'll mark the second time the company has faced antitrust scrinuty after the U.S. v. Microsoft case from the DOJ in 1998 where they along with 20 states accused Microsoft of doing anticompetitive practices with IE/Windows

Here's my finalized Linux VMs

I've settled on Arch and LMDE in Virtualbox because at this point it's the only two distros I trust when it comes to avoiding corporate influence from Canonical and the management behind it that's not weird and questionable

Speaking of Arch the other day I learned that vanilla Arch finally moved to 6.19 and 6.18 LTS

Glad to see they moved to the new versions

Well technically Intel as a whole was the one that started the whole PC revolution trend in the industry in the first place back then with the first CPU in 1971 it wasn't just Microsoft or Apple

Yes the success came from Intel in terms of hardware but without them the PC wouldn't exist

A piece of paper with information about the Homebrew Computer Club. It reads "Are you building your own computer? Terminal? TV Typewriter? I/O device? or some other digital black-magic box? Or are you buying time on a time-sharing service? If so, you might like to come to a gathering of people with like-minded interests. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project, whatever... We are getting together Wednesday nite, March 5th, 7pm. If you can't make it this time, drop us a card for the next meeting. See ya there" There is a signature at the bottom.

On this day in 1975, the Homebrew Computer Club held its first meeting. Steve Wozniak would eventually demonstrate a prototype of the Apple 1 at the club in 1976.

As someone that is on the Debian version of LM I hope it goes well and hoping the transition to Wayland continues to go smoothly

Honestly I'm surprised that it was still around for much longer until that point as its demise had already occurred long before

If you don't know the reason Netscape died was mostly due to Microsoft's anticompetitive practices with IE in the 90s which led to that antitrust lawsuit from the DOJ

This is why you need to do your research people and not rely on misinformation

Even though I did kind of fall for it I knew it was not true even Microsoft themselves came out again and debunked the recent rumors once again cause they are unverified

Chances are this might still be part of Windows 11

Not saying a successor is out of the picture because yet it will have to happen at some point in the future

And also keep in mind Microsoft has not announced a new version of Windows nor are there roadmaps for a successor

What i am seeing is apparently Microsoft is restructuring Windows and CorePC is part of the aspect

04.03.2026 04:02 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 1

Been seeing articles about the next major version of Windows

Let me be clear about something: these are RUMORS not facts plus they are there just for clicks as these websites are presenting them as facts even though nothing is officially confirmed and instead just spreading it

And am I the only one that thinks the orange toddler is starting to become like Scar from TLK because the similarities are there

Just subscribed to Claude Pro

Done with ChatGPT after almost a year of using it as that AI has become nothing but fucking dumb ever since they removed 4o and 5

Gonna rely on Claude, Gemini and Lumo for my stuff as they are more reasonable with responses and don't hallucinate as much

28.02.2026 09:21 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Gonna switch to Claude and not use ChatGPT anymore after what I learned what OpenAI did

Not gonna get into it because it gets political

Then again I have no problem with the distro it's really only the team behind it that I don't trust when it comes to management like that

Gonna try to go back to Manjaro since I'm starting to get worn down from the fact that my Arch VM keeps breaking shit

Now i did criticize the team behind Manjaro as they let their SSL certificate expire again and although this isn't uncommon for most websites it is unacceptable

Glad to hear it especially since LTS is most widely used in enterprise environments or people that prefer stability over new features
