Why should people upgrade to Windows 11 when Microsoft can't keep their OS from breaking every month it seems!? I'd call that what it actually is: A downgrade! 😂 https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/10/12/microsoft-accidentially-breaks-windows-10-to-windows-11-upgrade-using-mct-ahead-eol/

Today the Support of Windows 10 is over

💡As a user, you should have the right to choose your operating system

🖥 If you buy a computer with a pre-installed Windows license that you don’t want to use, you can request a refund💸.

It's 14 October … but #EndOf10 is not ending. We now have another 12 months and we are only getting started! 🚀

#Microsoft has delayed #Windows10 End of Life to 13 October 2026.

They say it is "free", but really it's at the cost of your data while tying you to a corporate ecosystem. It'll only be harder later when the time comes to move on.

Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 2019 are no longer receiving software updates, technical support, or bug and security fixes.

Consider migrating to LibreOffice.

Microsoft recommends migrating to a Microsoft 365 subnoscription.

LibreOffice supports the features that a majority of users need for free.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too

It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away

#Windows 10 is now End of Life, which in itself is normal, but also, this is a very specific event, because, first Windows 10 is still huge, and second, the options are very, very limited, and all bad.

let's talk about it:

i maintain that the FSF are controlled opposition

> The initial work is funded by a donation from FSF board member John Gilmore

> I later discovered that the LineageOS distribution links in significant proprietary binary modules copied from the firmware of particular phones.

They're gonna find a phone to replace all the proprietary parts with foss replacements

everything here hints to them not even knowing about the "lineageOS mainline" efforts

but its wild to me that they say firmware but dont seem to understand what the fuck firmware is

La trappola del consumismo: quando comprare ci ha resi solo “schiavi felici”

📺 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKwnP3wiY1Y

Non cadere nel meccanismo che alimenta il bisogno continuo di consumo ci ha spinto ad abbandonare tutti i social commerciali e i servizi Google. Certo, ricostruire tutto da zero ha avuto un costo e non è una strada per tutti ma per noi è un prezzo giusto per riconquistare un pezzo della nostra libertà.
