I mean specifically in the way GDPR does it. GDPR asserts that anyone anywhere in the world must adhere to the GDPR if any EU citizens supply data to them. I'm not aware of any remotely similar laws in commerce or communications in any

No worries at all, I don't take that personally, but may I ask what facts you think I am ignoring? The facts are as follows: 1. GDPR asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction. This is clearly documented and is within the text of the act it

> The US believes it has extraterritorial jurisdiction as well in many places, even in some cases where it isn't their citizens that are affected. So what? We're discussing the GDPR. Pretty sure the US has no similar law at all

Nope. If I want to sell data in the EU, I can. I'm not subject to their laws unless I have a presence there. GDPR tries to change that. See https://www2.deloitte.com/ch/en/pages/risk/articles/gd

The GDPR act clearly does state that though, so if they are not trying to do that, why did they try to give themselves the authority? This isn't just my take by the way, it's common knowledge and was the cause for much discussion

GDPR tries to enforce its rules on servers outside of its territory. I'm still waiting to see how well that holds up in court.

I don't want anything , any type of news being pushed by my OS. It simply isn't it's job. Maybe, as an option or optional add-on, but not the way MS does it. I use 10 now, as locked down and 'fixed' as I was able t

GDPR doesn't really apply outside of Europe, despite what the EU might claim.

pledge and unveil are not even close to being full alternatives to something like SELinux.

I'm not against capitalism, I just think there should be more regulation (like the Nordic countries). Like I said, you are making a ton of assumptions out of fear and misinformation.

Yes, there are idiots on both sides, but that's like Trump trying to equate racists with non-racists by saying there are good people on both sides. It's only one side of the political spectrum that as a significant portion of pe

I always have to end up getting some kind of extension to circumvent this behavior. Just make it an easy option and stop trying to know whats best for users, please.

Windows 10 is going to be my last windows with how MS is acting. 10 was annoying enough to configure to disable so much cruft, get back a decent startbar, disable all the telemetry etc, and much of it still sucks like not being able to have

What an absurd statement. Civilization predates Christianity and there were numerous civilizations that had nothing to do with Christianity while it wasn't even known to them. Religion, all religion, has been a drag on progress, holdin

You can't install nvidia drivers without the store, really?

The claim was not that you could install the apps after running the command in the blogpost, but that you could install the apps without microsoft store. you said: "Indeed, most of those can only be installed through the store" I

I only moved to 10 this year as 7 was not supported to take a proctored exam. I want no part of the store, have disabled it, and have been able to install everything I want without it, even Windows Terminal and WSL. I'm not sure why I

by PrimeMcFly 4y ago
It absolutely is true, at least for WSL and Windows Terminal. I installed both without having the store. Their github pages either tell you how or tell you where you can find a standalone installer. It's not hard at all. Google is your

by PrimeMcFly 4y ago
There is no need for the store at all, and the dev-friendly programs you mention can all be installed without it.
