Ah right

I bet there’s still a lot of stuff coded in that era that is still used in windows 11, like the drive format dialog or some icon resources

If you don’t join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There’s no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it’s more expensive

I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave

Edit:

I went to watch their prices for the diy series

• Win 11 home is +145€
• Win 11 pro is +259€
• Ubuntu is free

(Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can’t get win home edition if preinstalled)

i realized that the problem with an hosts file is the the system will completely bypass the dns server and directly contact the address. There is the need of something that enforces an IP address blocklist at the router level like opnsense

Fun fact: Microsoft edge for Linux has a copilot button. But they forgot to implement it, so it just takes space on the menu bar (cannot be removed)

Right, it won’t ask the DNS server to resolve it, the solution requires a much more expensive blocking on firewall

Difference between Open Source and “open” source

This is “open” source and it was the main reason it got forked (lots of proprietary bits included as binary, impossible to send a PR, obfuscated code)

It’s “open” exclusively for marketing “our product is better because it’s open source” and mostly because in this way they can use GPL 3 code for libraries without paying for a different license

Fuck them

Probably making sure that the sweet telemetry reaches their server after the URL got included in some blocklist. Solves nothing as who included the URL, now will include the IP address.

In Italy if you get fired (not if you quit voluntarily) it’s mandatory by law to get 75% of salary for 104 weeks (but from the six month it will get reduced by a 3% monthly) plus the severance package is at least 6.9% of the yearly gross salary multiplied by the number of years worked there.

On top of that, most union contracts (97% of workers in the country) increase that amount of money that the company has to pay.

Finally, it’s a bureaucratic mess. You can’t just fire employees with an email sent Friday afternoon and expect to get the offices empty on Monday. In order to fire more than 5 employees over 120 days the company has to get agreement with unions (money incentive to resign; early retirement; higher and/or longer severance pay) and if it’s doesn’t get an agreement within 45 days it will need to get an agreement with the government (another 30 days) where need to pay at least a 5850 euro tax for each fired employee. So from the cuts announcement, workers have at least 2 months of full pay and full work.

The only way to fire employees “American style”, “from today you’re unemployed” in Italy it’s bankruptcy (chapter 7) but proceeds from the liquidation Will be used to pay

Or maybe it was vibe coded in one day

Yes. Here is how the icon was in August 2025, before the launch of apple liquid ass:

And Google home had a similar “glass” icon redesign
