The devs explicitly stated in the HL2 commentary that HL3 was not being worked on and that they had no plans on resuming development.

TF is still using Windows for main? If you care about privacy you only use it as a host for the applications that can't be ported away.

He's a banker. Not an industry know for its charitable behaviour and history of being tough on big business.

No, not really. Giving legal exemptions to businesses is solidly in the right wing, keep the rich getting richer, play book. Canada has no liberal party, we don't even have a left leaning one at this point with the NDP backing some very anti-citizen policy.

FAFO. If you don't want to control your computer then you wont have control over your computer.

You know what doesn't have onedrive? Every other OS.

They come with W11 but I wouldn't say users are forced to use it. My first boot is always into the Debian netinstaller.

The TPM2 requirement is purely to drum up sales for hardware vendors and ensure that they keep bundling Windows with their machines.

The shitty ones do this. Or you get stuck behind cNAT.

You think business wont just pick up and move to a part of the world with less regulation?

Criminals? What about politicians, advertisers and law enforcement?

Why? We are, and have always been, an economic appendage to the USA.

People already, incorrectly, assume that VPN == Safety thanks to a ridiculous volume of advertising, no need to make that worse.

A VPN only hides your traffic from the people running the equipment between you and the VPN. If your VPN provider is evil, or just lazy, it's the same as not using one at all.

Other than USB killers a flash drives are no more dangerous than a CD. No OS autoruns any more and you can always inspect a file before opening it. Better to teach kids to think before they open any file from a source they don't trust rather than to just avoid one type of media.

I was never excited for Carney

Politicians gonna politician. They will all will be in favour of this kind of citizen tracking because it makes enforcing policy easier, doesn't matter if it is Liberal, Conservative, or NDP.

"Ban Website" sounds good in the news but those words together barely even parse to an idea.

A website is just a bunch of files hosted on a computer, put them behind some kind of access control and the outside world can't even know that they exist. Unless ISPs decide to block all inbound traffic to subscribers you can always just apt install apache2.

Looks like it's time for a more self hosted and distributed web.

Anyone with a few braincells working knows that it is all bullshit this crusade against porn “for the kids” .

Normies think "for the kids" is a 100% reasonable excuse to restrict freedoms and install authoritarian policy. That's why it works.

I know it's bullshit, you know it's bullshit. Go convince someone who doesn't understand that it is bullshit.

Making shareholders happy by increasing profits and padding the CEO’s ego Theft and corruption certainly is.

If they could use use regex they wouldn't be using an LLM.
