nice try. get fucked, microsoft.

Is it against the terms of service / use? If not - fair play to them. It’s stupid, but it’s easy to fix by adjusting the terms & conditions, and when they are in violation, completely deny all services to their ip range.

Whatever you tell yourself to sleep at night. I am disgusted by your attitude.

So basically you just like to shit on less fortunate people. Class act.

Hope she never goes to Britain…

You are a fucking dumbass.

I think you have GenZ tunnel view on this. I was suggesting to bring physical backup media to a friend’s house :)

Nah, if you store them offline, you should ideally know when one of your backups has been stolen. Anything ever stored online is forever in limbo.

I understood the worry to be about storage devices being stolen from home. In which case it would be safe at a friend’s house. Putting an encryptes backup anywhere online is partially okay, but most people trust their cloud solution software for encryption, which is about as good as sensing your unencrypted data to that company.

Even with encrypted backups the risk is that totalitarian regimes / corporations store data forever. And if your encyption keys ever leak, or the algorithm is broken, you’re fucked in retrospect.

Don’t store data on other people’s computers. Use encryption locally and store an encrypted backup at a friend’s house, or in a bank safe if you must.

Decent human beings in every country find that word offensive (with the exception of the people of color slang culture saying it among each other). The people not finding it offensive are mentally ill hate-filled racists.

Mozilla fakes the user agent for sites without a plugin? oO - that is news to me, but fair point in that case…

You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that’s not gonna happen, I’m afraid.

I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit…

These companies typically have management take the IT advice from their IT managers, and if those intentionally block non Windows/Google/fascist software, you don’t find anyone in the organization willing to listen to you. The only way to fight this is by not doing business with them whenever avoidable.

You are welcome. Worked fine last time I tried it with e.g. the Teams web client (forced to use it for work still)

That’s basically never an error, but malice. But I admire your naivity :)

Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
