Crank it up pops, it’s still withstanding!

Well that’s cool if they want to become an ad company, but last I checked they are known for making a browser. I’m sure they’ll do so much better than Oracle in the ad business. /s

I wish Mozilla had been really clear about their intentions and end goals with this acquisition. On the face of it, it looks terrible. Especially when you look at their jettisoning of Servo.

What the hell are they up to if making a browser engine isn’t a core competency, but buying an ad company is considered a wise move?

We got click-baited into reading about Microsoft doing shady shit with their browser default settings (again, no less!), but that part wasn’t even mentioned in the article.

Microsoft has more holes than my dad’s underwear lately

Um, no? The 336 megabyte usb installation media contains everything you need to install base Debian. Most people will want a desktop environment and other packages, they can connect to the network to download those additional packages.

Even the how-to says the network is optional.

Debian Linux installation ISO is only 336 MB, FFS. And that’s a whole operating system with user land!

Anyone who cared to pay attention knows that Microsoft has been reaping your data for years under the guise of “telemetry”, “product improvement” and the requirement of a Microsoft account just to set up a local operating system. This time they thought they could add the spying cloaked as a feature. Microsoft hasn’t had a clue when it comes to innovation or usefulness for two decades. It’s just a front for shareholders these days.

I’ll take “Shit I’m not going to believe from China” for 300, Alex.
