If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.
  • @Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?

  • If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.
  • @Aaron @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.

  • @dajix @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s deceptive. They know exactly what they’re doing. That’s why they also ask if you haven’t used your browser for a while.

  • @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.

    (Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)

  • Plasma developer David Edmundson demonstrates how a desktop using Wayland, Qt6 and KWin can recover from a catastrophic crash as if nothing had happened.
  • @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Very cool. Here’s hoping to see this in @gnome one day too.

    PS. I’m sure you’re aware of it but, just in case, the window positions/dimensions appear to be lost on the restart. (An issue I have on GNOME too whenever it returns from suspend.)

  • Announcing FediRedirect!
  • @ManeraKai So if I get this right, you can use this to redirect links to other mastodon servers so that you end up on your own server where you can interact with it, right?

    (Can’t wait to try it out, thanks.) :)
