If anyone wanted to try Linux for a long time, but just never had a good reason to - now is as good time as any to do this.
@bleakgrey @drq ok I kind of see why, but LOL regardless
@bleakgrey @drq on one hand i watch enough scambaiters to see why there is kind of a justifiable reason for this, on the other hand lmao that this is obviously a way to keep you from blocking their telemetery
Да это просто охуеть, извините за мой французский.
@drq Ya! You can learn to edit arcane text files all the time just to get basic functionality!
@drq эй, друг @Revertron ! Зацени какой шикарный шрифт на этом окне! Только не перепутай - это хороший шрифт, говеные шрифты у линуксойдов =)
@drq Типа не дает изменить host файл?
@alisa Да
@dyske blocking MS domains is used to bypasd Windows' built-in spyware.

> If you want control why would you even use a proprietary system?
The thing is, people do in fact want control. My point was to show how they're chipping away your control on the proprietary systems, little by little, until there's nothing left in the end, and the only true way to regain the control is to use free software.
@dyske
> Because as sad as it is, they don't care enough to switch services.
No, it's because of network effect.
A lot of people would readily switch services if people who they connect with using said services did the same.
Nobody 'wants' Facebook. Not many are using Facebook just because Facebook logo turns them on. Everybody wants to talk to their friends.
@shuro
Не в курсе, но если я правильно понял, то да, на микрософт.
@drq
😂 I hate Microsoft so much..
@drq I prefer to use Linux in long term.
@drq I just tested this on my windows 10 laptop. Not only did it give the same "error" message, but it also reset my hosts file to default. 🗡️
@david Attempt to null-route microsoft.com via hosts file fails with an obviously bullshit explanation.
@drq ahahahahahaha what
