Upgrayedd. With two "d"'s. For a double-dose of telemetry.

A shareholder's love is very different from that of a FOSS.

I always hate this when it's used to target Firefox.

"upgrade to chrome"

Like... What the fuck?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just use a user agent switcher.

This means they forgot platforms other than Windows exists. It's likely they're checking for currently supported systems and anything older is insecure, so blocked for your security.

Likely something like this pseudocode

function isPlatformVersionSupported(useragent) {
    // Windows XP is NT 5.1
    // Windows Vista is NT 6.0
    // Windows 7 is NT 6.1
    // Windows 8 is NT 6.2
    // Windows 8.1 is NT 6.3
    // Windows 10 and 11 is NT 10.0
    if (useragent.name == "Windows" && useragent.version.match(/Windows NT (6\.3|10)/)) {
        return true
    }

    // TODO: insert supported macos versions here

    return false
}

Haven't you heard? Pearson's requires at least Linux 2.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That came out in 1996.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Let me just check something on my terminal.

$ uname -sr
Linux 6.14.4-arch1-1

I'm suspicious.

Aw, manggg. But I just upgraded to Linux last week. Shoot...

Back to being treated like an idiot, force fed bloat, having no control over my own PC, and taking four steps to get everything done but often ending up down a rabbit hole of 19 step troubleshooting just to say, "Fuck it! Fine! I'll accept the new feature" then being toured on the new feature after it crashes first then won't let you login, but finally you do and THEN you've got your file open but forget what for by then, all the while it's notifying you of updates constantly but you won't run them because you noticed it contains the AMD driver which is the old one so Adrenaline will stop working but that also means Windows has somehow undone the group policy fucking around you had to and they say Linux is hard while Windows thinks I'm the fucking idiot and I CANT EVEN SHRINK THE FUCKING PARTITION BECAUSE OF THE GOD.DAMNED PAGE FILE IS JIZZED ALL OVER THE FUCKING DRIVE AND- RAAARRRGH!!!!

Huh, sorry. I get flashbacks still. The doctors say with the right therapy, I'll be better in a year.
