If you don’t use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.
They are not wrong.
To mend your machine:
- Ditch Windows
- Install Plasma
- Your computer is ready.

I remember decades ago when a US court convicted Microsoft to seperate their browser from windows. The court wrote the verdict that Microsoft ilegally tried to prevent competion . Since Microsoft lost it shouldn’t be difficult to file the next suit .

During the Clinton era Microsoft was a hair’s breadth away from being broken apart for all its anti-competitive monopolistic shenanigans – including the browser war thing that you mention.
But then Bush Junior got into power (I resist using the words “was elected”) and he swept all that away.

As I recall:
Microsoft Windows used to have good online help, circa 1991-1994 (Windows 3.1).
It was based on the Rich Text Format (RTF).
Then Microsoft added a web browser, and called it Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer really wasn’t very good for exploring the internet, apparently because its development had been rushed and it didn’t display some things like other browsers would.
Then Microsoft argued in court that its web browser was an integral part of Windows, which Windows could not work without.
Then the judge removed the web browser from his own Windows-based computer and experienced no problems.
Then Microsoft changed its online help to HTML and made us use its web browser to access it.
Never did i think id see KDE Propaganda
What is wrong with all those kde links in the comments? Are y’all bots?! Hella annoying.
They probably either use a different client, or a different federated service, that lets them mark multiple participants in each post of the thread.
I think they may be using mastodon and that’s how you post in a lemmy community via mastodon, using the @ tags.
Mastodon users need to mention the user and the community name in order to make or reply to Lemmy comments.
You know you don’t have to click the links right?
Alright but what does that have to do with an image of the reddit servers?
I assume because they run on windows.

I use DDG on Edge, and haven’t seen this.
I’ve got Mint on an old laptop. It seemed to require the least amount of fuckery to get working. No idea what Plasma is.
I just want an OS and browser, not a project.
You literally typed this in a KDE community, how do you fail to know what Plasma is?
