Sehr geil, nach dem gestrigen #WindowsUpdate ging nicht nur, wie bei jedem major H Update mein #WSL kaputt und sicher auch noch #WakeOnLan, nein, diesesmal hat es als Bonus noch die #Aktivierung verloren und behauptet, ich hätte neue Hardware und soll eine neue #Windows #Lizenz kaufen.

Diese Pisser aus #Redmond gehen mir so auf den Sack man. 🖕

Zum Glück bin ich a) zu Hause und muss nicht remote drauf und b) habe ich heute weg Familie frei und dann ist Wochenende

31 years ago, Geir Ivarsøy and I started working on the Opera browser. A year later we founded Opera Software.

At Opera we wrote all our own code from scratch.

In 2011 I left Opera due to disagreement with investors about the direction Opera was heading.

Two years later, I co-founded Vivaldi to build a browser for you.

So I have been building browsers for 31 years. I think I know what it takes to build a browser.

Our Vivaldi team is for the most part in Norway and Iceland with a few people distributed around Europe and a couple of business people in the US.

Vivaldi is available for your computer and your phone, unless you have a very specific setup. Vivaldi might even be available for your car as well.

We go out of our way to provide you with a browser that matches your needs. I hope you like it.

I liked this youtube video from JCristina explaining why last year he switched to LibreOffice and Linux away from MS Office and Microsoft. I feel the same way as he does about Microsoft and most big proprietary software companies.

Even though things with Windows weren't as bad when I switched fully to Linux back around 2007 when it was still Win XP, Windows has just kept getting worse with all the spying, subscriptions, ads, AI, etc. while Linux has kept getting better and easier, with none of that invasive stuff.

The only thing I'd add to what he says, regarding the part where he mentions how you have to pay $10 a *month* to use MS Office (plus subs to other $ software): If you use FOSS, imagine how much money you've saved over the years! So if you can, why not donate some of that savings to the FOSS software projects you like or use the most to help keep them going.
