Keep going Microsoft. Constantly giving users more reasons to switch to a secure OS. One that is not spying on them.

Facebook is bots ONLY. So none of this matters.

True. But actually I don't have a car. My last car decades ago, had a cassette player. But that had Auto Reverse. When it reached the end of the tape it would play the other side without you having to eject the tape and turn it over!

That depends on where you live. I'm lucky I dont need a car. I cycle to work and live near bus/tram/underground train if needed. So it's not a necessity. More of an annoyance and expense.

My car is so old it makes its own cloud!

I don't know what functionality those other ones have. People suggest Friendica.

No mention of centralised versus decentralised social media. The thing that makes the biggest difference. No ads. No algorithm. No lock in, swap networks keeping friends and followers. Tune your timeline to suit you. Calling everything social media is trash journalism when those issues are already solved. Clearly he has no clue about the topic.

With many critical apps still running on Windows only, Windows needs to get worse!
To push those software companies over to embrace Linux finally. Then the users can follow.
