  • About 15 years ago Microsoft had this great idea.

    What if we forced everyone to use our software on the web so they can’t buy it.

    Macros will no longer work, but not many people use macros so fuck those guys, they are nerds anyway.

    This became the heyday of the Libre Software movement. And the reason I still occasionally use it.

    Companies run on the simple automation the nerds create with Macros and companies aren’t going to hire a bunch more clerks so they can pay more for shittier software.

    TL;DR, Microsoft backed down when people voted with their feet and not before.








  • The feature isn’t even mentioned in Mozilla’s data protection policies. The only way for users to turn it off is to find the opt-out function in a sub-menu of the browser’s settings.

    Irritatingly, a Mozilla developer justifies the move by claiming that users can’t make an informed decision.

    This is all IN ADDITION to them turning on DoH (DNS over HTTP) without permission which nullifies ad blockers.
