The PC Gamer article’s title also says “upgrade or”. That’s a heck of a detail to editorialize out of the title.

From the Mozilla post it cites:

After this, no security updates will be provided and you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a supported Microsoft Windows version.

Or, if your current hardware can’t handle Windows 10 or higher for some reason, you can switch to a Linux-based operating system. The vast majority of Linux distributions come with Firefox as the default browser.

I agree switching to Linux is the better option. I want to try Bazzite.

I already assume everything I wrote on the Internet is eternal. Of course, data is free and people will use it for stupid stuff like this. This doesn’t surprise me.

I’ve been using a Fairphone 4 for a couple weeks, and I like it so far. This is the way phones should be made. I eventually found replacements for most of my Google stuff. It’s just sad that my government burned our bridges with trade, so any replacement parts I import will be expensive.

Wired.com: You’ve read your last free article. Me: You’ve run your last Javascript.

This article is saying other countries should repeal their equivalents to the DMCA’s anti-curcumvention, just like Cory Doctorow says, and I agree too. The whole reason those counties passed DMCA-like laws was that we threatened to tariff them if they don’t. Well, now we’re tariffing them anyway. We’re no longer holding up our end of the bargain, and neither should anyone else.
