    Friendly reminder for those on work computers, Firefox can be installed as a user app without admin rights by just declining the admin request when it pops up.

    On Mac, just drag the application to your user apps directory (/Users/<you>/Applications).

      Related note for macs. Homebrew can be installed in user space without administrator privileges.

    In my job I’m forced to use edge all the copilot shit is turned on without the possibility to turn off by admin privileges. Completely absurd.

        They also have a bunch of crowdstrike shit on it all time on. For sure they’re snitching way more deeply that edge use.

          Employee JSmith is slacking off again!

          But not just this…

          Employee Jsmith has spent 80hrs this month looking for a furry suit on eBay. He likes used ones as a kink of his. He talks with Stacie James the most of all other employees even though they’re not together on an assignment.

          Do you want to know more?

    I figure if you’re already the kind of person to chat with Copilot, you’re not the kind of person that will be inconvenienced by it launching links in chat instead of your browser.

    For 95% of other users, though, that would be infuriating.

    Uh huh. So now, along with the forced openings of Edge, they have a free backdoor with access to everything.

    Or another one that any moron can use, anyways.
