affecting a mere few
Sep. 10th, 2025 02:48 amWell here's something probably a miniscule part of the population cares about...
While MSoft has sorta taken a very light-handed approach, it looks like Gewgle has been ramping up a full scale assault on my treasured O.S. Windows 7.
In the past few weeks, it has made it nearly if not completely impossible for my browser collection, newer and older, to use many of its lures, such as GMail and GoogleDrive and GoogleVoice, etc.
Of course you get invested in it, and then they pull in the reins and decide to kick ya out of the driver's seat while they take over. They are drastically limiting the Browsers that are 'compatible' with it, and nearly all gone are the ones that run on W7, except Firefox, which says it will pull the plug in Feb of next year.
I find myself actually considering Yahoo mail as a main :| (not that they are saints, either)
Or even going back to Mac as an O.S., rather than put up with the slop of W10 and W11.
ugh.
For now I had to, as of tonight, go to my W11 experimental unit, just to send an email.
...tough decisions ahead.
