The Simpsons were joking on exactly this censorship happening 30 years ago, so I don't think it's caused by social media.

Having an account for your child schools is kind of a necessity. Using Minecraft is not. It seems to be a nice game and children like it; it sucks that Microsoft bought it. Still not a good enough reason to use Microsoft.

You don't need to accept it. Just don't use Microsoft. (If your school forces you to, create a throwaway account for that, and let the principal know that you are not a happy customer)

Is this a surprise? I assumed everyone's experience of Microsoft accounts was something like this. Every single detail seems designed by someone who read Kafka and took the wrong lesson out of it.

When you order a Thinkpad Z13 from Lenovo you get the option to get it with Ubuntu preinstalled. To me that's "officially supported".

I have it and it's definitely a powerful and solid laptop with a great screen. But out-of-the-box linux support was not great at all. I am usually a debian user, but since it shipped with Ubuntu I thought I'd give it a try (there

They point is making it hard for the tax evaders to spend their cash (which they cannot deposit in the bank since it's way more than they officially earn) in law abiding shops.

I have not seen a SEPA wire transfer cost more than 1€ since SEPA wire transfers have existed. Which would make the fee at most 0.01% for >10k€ payments.

Of course it is an Android problem. But as someone who is forced to use Teams, it is hard not to see irony in the situation.

So users who join Teams calls but refuse to login cannot call 911, and die. Seems in line with the general Teams ethos to be honest.

It does very limited validation. It is very purpose specific, its ultimate objective to check whether the first character of a UTF-8 string is RTL or LTR, for layout purporses. To do this we convert N UTF-8 bytes to a single UTF-32 code poi

Latin-1 is a different character set; you do not need knowledge of code points to convert between different UTF encodings.
