Windows 11 Outperforming Linux on an Intel Arrow Lake H Laptop

I keep giving proprietary software chances. A polished experience has value. I'm willing to pay for software. I'll even tolerate subscriptions when they come with continuous added value.

Then Google gives HSBC the ability to lock people out of their banking app if they installed a third-party password manager from the "wrong" app store and I start to think RMS was right about everything.

"and I start to think RMS was right about everything"

Does it always has to be this extreme?

I always thought he was right about some things, but wrong about others. (And all in all not great as a public face for the organisation)

I'm capped on the amount of money I can transfer out of my RBS app unless I send RBS a recording of my face and voice. Why the hell can't I opt out of dystopian "security" measures and accept the risk?

I opened my browser on the same device and transfered it that way. So much for "security".
