Definitely dislike MS, generations of my workstations have small, yellow “Microsoft Free Workstation” stickers on their monitors, but VSCodium (in my case) is not really bad.

Also I really like the Xbox360 console and (as a hacker and maker) still love the first Kinnect. The Kinnect is an excellent piece of sensor-hardware, was rather cheap when purchased in used condition and it works very well with Linux.

You can start with The Uber files, which “is a global investigation into a trove of 124,000 confidential documents from the tech company that were leaked to the Guardian.”

Summary

Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals

Some examples:

• The cache of more than 124,000 internal Uber files lays bare the ethically questionable practices through which the company barged its way into new markets, often where existing laws or regulations made its operations illegal, before lobbying aggressively for those same laws or regulations to be altered to accommodate it.

• Senior executives at Uber ordered the use of a “kill switch” to prevent police and regulators from accessing sensitive data during raids on its offices in at least six countries. Read here
• Two of Barack Obama’s most senior presidential campaign advisers, David Plouffe and Jim Messina, discussed helping Uber get to access leaders, officials and diplomats. Read here
• At least six UK government ministers, including the then chancellor, George Osborne, and the future health secretary Matt Hancock, did not declare secret meetings at which they were lobbied by Uber. Read here

All my real daily-use archivers were not listed in the poll, except 7zip.
Had to select “Other”, but meant: gzip, xz, bzip2, unrar, rar and zip.

If you are unhappy with suggested XSane, but only want an OSS solution, I do not know a good alternative.

Same for me with uBlock Origin, until I have updated to version 1.51.0

In my FF’s about:config there is a setting called intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, defaulted to false. Maybe this can be used?

Thank you good bot, please take my social media profile.

Only right answer is of course TCSH. Not much documentation and support, ancient but still receives new bugs in 2021 (on Debian), but attackers hate it! (I love it)

My real suggestion is to learn zsh and fish (and bash). Try using them for all your purposes and in the end you will automatically find the one (or more of them) that suits you best and that you like most for your daily tasks.

I prefer AppImages on my Debian desktops as they normally simply work out of the box (download, start) and I had (many years ago) trouble with snap and flatpak.

alias tokenparse "cat "\""\$1"\"" | jq -R 'split("\""."\"") | .[0],.[1] | @base64d | fromjson'"

Are you by any chance living in the EU and can use GDPR (data protection regulations) as lever against the sender to stop it ?
