I’m going to keep using Windows 10

Me too. I will be glad to get no updates and not have to worry any more that Microsoft is going to ruin my computer.

We’ve all seen the local warehouse still running WIndows 7

Why would they stop? They don’t need the internet. They gain nothing by using a different version of windows.

Is it still possible to get the source code? I never knew it was available.

Really, its playlist and library management was top notch. Newer apps still piss me off because none of them do it the way Winamp did.

It’s why I still use winamp.

there is proven history of EEE techniques being successfully used to capture an audience and then destroy the adoption of the protocol.

That won’t happen to Fediverse because nobody here is willing to be ‘captured’ and ‘destroyed’. We don’t give a fuck if Threads wants to break its own protocol.

By continuing to interact with Thread users you’re enabling those users to feel justified in not wanting to leave.

People do not have to leave Threads. They should, but they don’t have to. No harm in interacting with them. In fact, such interaction will make them aware of the alternatives.

FYI, there are registry keys you can set to stop it from trying to upgrade.

Can I do this for Windows 11? If so which keys

On top of that, the British only introduced a pretty limited form of democracy to Hong Kong shortly before it was supposed to relinquish control over the territory

On top of that, the Chinese dictator crushed democracy with military and police force in violation of the unification agreement – proving 100% it absolutely can not be trusted.

The PRC saw this as an attempt by the British to continue interfering with the right for Chinese self determination.

The Chinese have no rights whatsoever in the PRC regime because the Chinese cannot chose their own leaders and determine their own country’s destiny. By “right for Chinese self determination” you actually mean the DICTATOR’s right (one single individual!!) to prevent one billion Chinese citizens from running their own country as they see fit.
