The problem is that humans are subjective in my opinion. Water is not (or at least not the the degree humans are). With the same pressure, all water freeze at the same temp. Ask a Minnesotan or a Floridian (just to remain within the US, can use Greek/Norwegian for EU) what “cold” means, and they’ll have VERY different answers
As usual, there should be a bit of flexibility in there. I am not saying “oh, it’s 0C, therefore ALL water in all town is frozen , lets wait until it gets to 1C so all water melt”. But more on the line “oh, its around 0C (+ or - 5C), lets be careful while driving because some of the streets might have ice”. Farenheit freezing temp is 32 I think? Thats VERY arbitrary. A lot more than C.
I always found fahrenheit a lot more arbitrary: in Celsius 0 is the freezing of water, so if you are driving/walking, that is a very important temperature to look out for. Also 30 being hot or 100 being hot outside does not really make a difference. Some people find 30 hot, some other find it OK, since its subjective anyway
Who would have thought? Not me!
I quite like Chromium. Maybe is my tinted glass when I just switched from Firefox/Explorer. The fact that your browser would pop up almost instantly instead of taking those 2-3 seconds to start was quite revolutionary (Firefox of course caught up quite soon on that regard, Microsoft had to adopt Chromium to do the same).
But yeah, the current bloatware and resouce gourging are quite bad when looking at it impartially.
I see a couple of ad “emails” entries in my promotion side of the inbox, usually in the 3-4 rows, and I also use both adblock + uorigin. Again, not really disrupting, because its usually a section of the inbox I dont go into too much, but I can see it being annoying for others
We are evolving. Just backwards!
The main problem of linux is that 90% of the downloadable software out there is written for Windows. And so are 90% of the games.
So it depends on what you use your PC for.
I think the issue here is not which browser is better, but companies not respecting your preferences and use scummy methods to make you switch. This might be a Microsoft issue now, but I can see it becoming a slippery slope and have more companies in the future do the same. Lets say that Microsoft succeed here: whats stopping Google to do the exact same with Android. Then you end up to keep in sync your favorites in 3 different browsers (Safari, Edge, Chrome. Firefox gets shafted since even if you use it as default each company will force its own browser) depending on the OS you are using.
I think this is the main point: they saw how the latest anti trust lawsuits went (especially mergers), and decided it was the right time to push it again. If this goes to court, prepare to be anal blasted by Microsoft. The only hope is that this turns into a battle of companies, so that Google and others can finance the opposite side to get the anti trust resolution to pass.
Its usually in the separate tab, the “promotion” tab, where they send most subscriptions emails. It’s not good, but it could be miles worse. Yahoo mail for example is a lot worse: you get Ads in the website taking away screen space unless you pay a premium
Not that I like the current Chrome, but with all this forcing down your throat Edge from Microsoft, I hate Edge 10 times more. I guess Firefox is the only good alternative even if its is not Chromium
My wife company went even further and blacklisted any email websites in order to force them into using the Outlook app at work. Heck, they cannot even access the Microsoft outlook webpage.
Windows is not free software though, so it’s even worse
