Hey Europe
–America
Maybe if you all started voting…? For real, dudes, you need to wake up.
First. Past. The. Post.
We are trapped
It’s sweet that you think the average person has an actual effect on the direction our government takes. The only way to get stuff done is mass protest, and we sure as hell aren’t getting people to protest deleting Edge when we have much, much bigger problems here atm.
You imagine a different election result with more people voting, else why say that. So what happens with more people voting? The lesser evil wins? A 3rd party winning in first past the post voting system with electoral college? Maybe you should say something more thoughtful.
You are right of course - your system is so fucked up that it’s not even worth trying, just give up already and hand the keys to Pootin. /s!
Not my system but what are people supposed to do then?
I can talk to people; explain why the current system is bad and suggest more representative voting systems, but I have no idea if that has an outcome better than saying “you should vote, or surrender /s”.
Yeees! Edge goes first, followed by Bing
How do I, an outlander, get away with removing above bloatware?
Can I login to my VPN, set the server to, say NL and get to delete it?
And now I have to mess with the system files to get this stuff outside the EU.
No thanks, Linux is for me.
Now do the same for the rest of the world. India is making their version of recent EU legislations.
“The European Commission has exempted Bing and Microsoft Edge from DMA oversight due to their non-dominant market position.”
I wonder if Microsoft’s legal department advised Nadella to abide by the spirit of the law (despite the exemption) to prevent possible headaches in the future.
This is 👍 news. I don’t use Edge. Google is my search engine, not Bing. 1 may change Edge’s default search engine, but I never bothered.
Microsoft has been betting big on ai. They may be OK with “competition”, “fair playing field” or “pro-choice” things if ai will give them billions in profit in the future.
It’s 👍 that alternativeto.net is still around. I’ve been going there to find alternate programs.
