Also, only officially browser for MitID is fucking Chrome. Always works with Firefox or libreWolf, though. However, I have contacted MitID two times about issues. They are always referring that I should look at the help page supported OS/browser blah blah. They don’t care about the part of the population that doesn’t use Chrome. Ironic that the same government now screams and shouts about how we have become too reliant on US big tech… Idiotic tech noob politicians.

It’s on per default when signed in to OneDrive. Actually a really nice feature tbh. However, you will be promoted to hell and back if you aren’t signed in to OneDrive. I like the feature for work but I don’t like the idea of it being the default setting.

LibreOffice does everything I need except that their version of Power Point (forgot the name lol) is a mess to work with in terms of making the slide deck visual appealing. Automatic guide lines, snapping and smartart, to name a few.
Thinking about onlyoffice but I’m not sure if I can trust them since I read about then trying to hide their ties to Russia.

- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 2 months ago:
I don’t consider YouTube to be in the same category as these other streaming services. I use YouTube way more as the content is more interesting to me. But still…
- Most of the streaming services have subscriptions (some with ads). YouTube is completely free with ads (ublock origin saves the day).
- Content on YouTube is very different from other streaming services. I know YouTube have dipped its toes in the tv show market e.g. the karate kid series but nothing compared to the big productions like white lotus or lord of the rings.
- Length of content. YouTube is anywhere from 1 minutes to infinity (almost). Traditional shows on streaming services often is around 45 minutes +/- 15.
- YouTube had the worst recommendations algorithm nowadays. Seems to be the general opinion yet YouTube aren’t listening.
Probably more points I haven’t thought of.

Oh forgot. Best multiplayer game ever has to be Counter Strike 1.6, CS:GO and potentially CS2 in a few years.

- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 3 months ago:
No, but we haven’t yet seen the influx of proprietary software on Linux.
Say that Adobe, MS and Autodesk enters this space. You think that gnu/Linux will stay on the path of being Foss or will it become more proprietary and closed? Or will these companies fight and use their influence and money to e.g. push for permanent proprietary code in the kernel?
All speculations of course.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 3 months ago:
No, that’s not what I wrote. But I fear what will happen to the gnu/Linux/Foss community if Linux becomes a land for non-foss. My premise for my concern is that we should fight against non-foss in this space. This is a ideological stands which you may or may not agree with.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 3 months ago:
It wouldn’t but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.
My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 3 months ago:
Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.
This is a genuine concern that I have.

Decentralized FOSS socials are great technical achievements but I feel like the actual product that users will interact with are worse copy cats of already established social platforms. Mastodon is a Twitter clone, Lemmy is a reddit clone, peertube is a youtube clone. I love these FOSS/decen. platforms but the frontend that users actually interact with are just copies of already popular platforms, just with another backend. What innovative FOSS/decen. social platforms exist? Not talking about the backend but the user experience.
