I have heard people at my work actually using it. I was thinking of starting posting about Linux there, just for the troll, as the company seems to like/trust Microsoft a bit too much.

I think they want you to only use Windows and pay for cloud storage.

By enforcing BitLocker and Secure Boot, they are trying to eliminate dual-booting (you don't need to dual-boot Windows/Linux anyway, as you can just use WSL2 /s).

By enforcing disk encryption, in general, they try to force the use of cloud storage, by making data recovery nearly impossible. Most people are probably too lazy to buy external storage, and manually copy their files over.

This guarantees 2 money streams. One from Windows's tracking/advertising and the other from OneDrive subscriptions.

Which version of Win 10 are you using? My girl's Win 10 Pro laptop is still unencrypted.

At least, FB still has some content made by humans. On LinkedIn, every single post is AI generated. People try to promote their ideas or views, but they all rely on AI to make their posts "readable".

I think it's like an internal social media for your Office 365 group. We have Yammer at work but I have never opened it.

I am still trying to figure out what is going since Win 7, and it takes so much space (I don't know about Vista)

Docker Engine, without the Docker Desktop licensing and VM overhead

Would hosting in Albania be a solution? It's in the Europe continent, but it's not a member of European Union. UK is also fighting encrypted communications.

My question is: even if EU manages to apply laws for backdooring encryption, wouldn't cybercriminals just use different tools? They may force Signal to backdoor its encryption, but what about Briar? Will they backdoor the Tor network? Will they ban it entirely? What about Matrix? They can't prevent offshore encrypted instances.
