A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

When are they going to fine Microsoft for the blatant anti competitive Edge pushing inside Windows? 20 years ago it was a scandal just to bundle Internet Explorer and now they get away with progressively making it harder to switch away from Edge, forcing links to open in Edge rather than your default browser and injecting ads into your browser and OS when you try to download an alternative.
Google doing the same thing with chrome, sabotaging youtube under Firefox, etc.
i want to see both of them fined heavily and best case forced to split some of their products out to separate companies (not sure how much that helps though)
It shows how far the pendulum of corporate power has swung since then.
(Missionary impression) Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about Linux?
Kidding... kind of. It would solve this particular problem for you, but Microsoft should of course be held accountable for this bad behavior.
I've had enough other trouble with Linux
Fair enough
