I now use UTM to host Windows 11 Pro on my mac for exactly one Windows application.

With the exception of suspend, it does the job.

Avago's business model is to acquire cash cow businesses and then milk them dry. These VMware changes are consistent with that model.

The beneficiary is a company called Persona. I would not be surprised if the latter is also a microsoft entity, and is benefiting from that data.

They locked me out when I changed my profile picture, and started deleting posts and comments prior to deleting the account itself.

The issue which I have with this is the sheer waste of resources because some rich person wants to be relevant decades after their death.

What happened to founding a hospital? Or something useful in the here and now and in the future. Not a big fan of Nobel either, BTW.

I don't do subscriptions, I prefer paying for upgrades which I need.

Importing was truly super easy, but bitwarden has some kind of latency issue compared to 1p on the same machine and the same browser. 1p was always a smooth and unobtrusive experience, you will be extremely aware of BW's presence.

The real propaganda outfits write in a sober tone, quote "sources in the know" without naming names.

At this point every outfit is suspect: especially the original Upright Citizens(tm).

This is the part which is confusing. If the EU was a real union, then this would not be a problem, the selling point would be it's a union, all countries are the same.

It appears from the outside that the only united thing about the regulation is that there is a regulation, and then each country goes off and does its own thing.

So why have an EU at all? Very strange.
