Yeah. When I was using windows I just refused to install adobe and used Firefox as my default pdf viewer. It took me some time to figure it out. Adobe doesn’t care that they invented the pdf last Millenium. They just want in on the Microsoft bucks. Those two must have some boardroom deal.
Exactly. Ya know, I had this one game I liked. Kept me dual booting until I finally got it working on Linux. Single boot now. Linux forever. I am now the owner of multiple computers and not a single one has Windows installed. It feels good. And it was worth all the time and effort I put into figuring out how to make it work to eliminate that one corner of my house that still had windows on it, advertising to me and pulling this shit. Linux just keeps getting better. People just gotta get behind it and learn to troubleshoot to keep themselves free from this kind of bullshit.
This already happens with other file types. For example, if you click something from your widgets, it is a file type that forces Edge to be opened. Other browsers can’t open it. Microsoft is trying to make Edge its new Internet Explorer. I mean, just click on the Weather widget. See what app opens. Try to make another browser open it by default. You can’t on Windows 11. Smells like anti-trust courtroom action, take three.
The problem is the opposite. People are still going to the cinema. If they didn’t, cinemas wouldn’t get away with this crap. They would either go away or knock it off.
The funny thing about Twitter for me is that I think I have a Twitter account and it’s kind of like floating out there since 2010 or so. I never bothered with it. It was so tedious for me. I’m actually surprised about all this Twitter news now. I never actually could “get” Twitter as a social media platform. So, I don’t know. I dislike the man. I can’t remember my password. If it goes away I guess my internet security is better off.
