#windows11

16 posts10 participants2 posts today

Microsoft should be fined under environmental laws for their completely arbitrary rules for whether a PC can be updated to Windows 11 or not.

Hundreds of millions of perfectly good PCs will be scrapped.

I'm also predicting that Windows 11 will be the last OS that isn't a subscription.

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Curious if any other #jaws users have noticed some weirdness with copying things to the clipboard lately, especially in #WebBrowsers. I primarily use #MicrosoftEdge but have noticed it in other places too. Take this for example: I'm writing some notes on #WCAG success criteria in #Joplin, getting some information from this page on understanding WCAG. I selected the number and name of SC 1.2.3 and pressed CTRL+C. JAWS should have copied " 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)", but all it copied was "1.2.3 ". I tried this several times, making sure I had all the text selected. It's not the first time it's happened lately, either. I've noticed it for at least the last few weeks, and it's very frustrating. Sometimes I'll switch to #NVDA just because I know it will copy things correctly.
