@sqrt2 :blackCatSurprised:

Imagine getting the task, "Unenshittify default browser functionality, but only in regions where we're required to", and just... doing it.

@sqrt2@chaos.social why would they not open links with the default browser, that's what the default browser is for, isn't it? I am confused

@sqrt2 fanmade "hack" to make this occur on all systems when

@sqrt2 lol
that's so sad

@sqrt2 I haven’t used windows in a decade, but I grew up using it and used to have a lot of respect for some of the craftsmanship that went into it; it’s sad to see how much it’s turned against its users

@sqrt2@chaos.social now do this on windows 10 🙏

@sqrt2@chaos.social Assuming they open in edge everywhere else regaurdless of its its the default?

@sqrt2 damn they finally got rid of the microsoft-edge:// non re-assignable protocol?

how does one move to this...economic area

@sqrt2@chaos.social
Good thing I haven't used windows in ages lol. It's even more of a dumpster fire now.

@sqrt2@chaos.social imagine bloatware
(i need to get off of Canary as soon as possible)

@sqrt2 I actually can't think of a good OS where you can't uninstall a browser. What freedom (also known as Linux) does to people.

@sqrt2 *laughs in European*

@sqrt2

@sqrt2 Please nobody tell Apple this is a thing. We'll get USB-C ports that only work when you're in the EU.

@sqrt2 yay to EU / Germany / EEA :sd_hype:

@sqrt2 presumably the brexit dividend™️ means that the UK still gets to be subject to anticompetitive business practices (woo!)

@sqrt2 the only winning move is not to use #Microsoft Products like #Windows!

#AllGAFAMsAreBad #AllGAFAMsAreEvil #PRISM #ITsec #InfoSec #OpSec #ComSec

@sqrt2 tja.

@sqrt2

With great power comes great responsibility.

Here the EU is putting things right.
