    Yeah, and Linux is not supported for the biggest games
    WINE hacks aren't that great in most cases.

    It does install it. Also Twitter.

  4. Known problem on Hey Microsoft, Stop Installing Apps On My PC Without Asking (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    This has been going on since the release of Win 10. There are various ways to prevent this for Pro and Home versions, but as soon as a service pack is released, BOOM, more ads, apps, and shitty games. (I mean, MS even fucked up solitaire.)

  5. Is this site still Chrome only. I thought about it until I was told I needed to use that.

  6. Or back to 7 on Windows 10 Is Adding an Ultimate Performance Mode For Pros (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You could always roll back to 7. 7 is a lot faster on my rig than 10. YMMV thou

  7. Why am I not surprised on Messenger Kids Advocates Were Facebook-Funded (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not in the least surprise by this.
    More surprised that only 7 of the 13 are in their pockets and not 11 or 12.

    This will block only non Google ads to leave the Google ones alone.

  9. No and No on AMP For Email Is a Terrible Idea (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    AMP is already not that great. This doesn't need to be in email
    Also, stop trying to fuck up emails.

  10. Not going to help on Google Chrome Pushes For User Protection With 'Not secure' Label (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Normal users are not going to see nor are they going to care.

  11. Unless they are going to buy Facebook and Twitter and then shut them down like a good product, this will not stop on these sites.

  12. Do we really need another machine with a Skyrim port on it.
    How many times has that been ported now?

  13. Isn't this pretty much SEO?

  14. That is the question.
    The OS does the same thing as these pieces of software.

  15. Re:Wait to miss the point: Linux isn't being used! on Surpassing Windows 7's Market Share For the First Time, Windows 10 Now the Most Popular Desktop OS From Microsoft (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Sorry, Linux cannot do games. Only about 10% of my Steam library works with it.
    If that happens, I will change over from 7.

  16. It is the one OS with the most installs, I doubt its the most popular.

    I like my desktop.

    Also, tablet are terrible for reading books. YMMV of course.

    I did with my Gameboy. That is a computing device. :P
