Yeees! Edge goes first, followed by Bing

How do I, an outlander, get away with removing above bloatware?

Can I login to my VPN, set the server to, say NL and get to delete it?

And now I have to mess with the system files to get this stuff outside the EU.

No thanks, Linux is for me.

With all the DMA stuff going around I hope the EU take some real steps to Linux and FOSS in general. I mean come on, I can be root by design and fuckup my system if I want to - this is real freedom, gentlemen 🇪🇺

“The European Commission has exempted Bing and Microsoft Edge from DMA oversight due to their non-dominant market position.”

I wonder if Microsoft’s legal department advised Nadella to abide by the spirit of the law (despite the exemption) to prevent possible headaches in the future.

This is 👍 news. I don’t use Edge. Google is my search engine, not Bing. 1 may change Edge’s default search engine, but I never bothered.

Microsoft has been betting big on ai. They may be OK with “competition”, “fair playing field” or “pro-choice” things if ai will give them billions in profit in the future.

It’s 👍 that alternativeto.net is still around. I’ve been going there to find alternate programs.
