    Pretty sure they would be the only major OS that requires a "company" (meaning the OS seller/provider) account login, other beg, plead & nag but not required. Time may tell.

    Windows 11 Pro Now Requires Microsoft Account and Internet During Setup Slashdot
    https://nu.federati.net/url/285002

    snip

    >While most devices do require a sign-in to fully enable app stores, cloud storage, and cross-device sharing and syncing, Windows 11 will soon stand alone as the only major consumer OS that requires account sign-in to enable even basic functionality.

    snip

    So three questions:

    1) Do you think the govt will be looking into this in the near future?
    2) What about sites that use AD as login/gate keeper?
    3) What about govt TLA agencies and security?

    OTOH, if Firefox fails, where is the competition?
    Yes there are other browsers (Brave, Edge, Opera, Safari & Vivaldi) but 4 of the 5 use Chromium as a base and are not really competition in the true sense. Seems like someone will keep sending money so that there is some competition to keep the govt away?

    My 10 day shows highs around 50F with lows around mid 35F, kind of typical for this time of year.

    Maybe, but buying a domain and adding an email is not that much work, 2FA might be another story assuming it is being used. There might still be time for this to be exploited.

    >However, it is worth noting that days before this study was published in December 2021, npm announced plans to slowly start enforcing 2FA for developer accounts. This process was scheduled to take place in multiple stages, with the Top 100 maintainer accounts being enrolled in mandatory 2FA at the start of this month.

      An academic research project found that thousands of JavaScript developers are using an email address with an expired domain for their npm accounts, leaving their projects exposed to easy hijacks.

    Remember, if it is software, it can be hacked.
    If it can be hacked, it can be free.
    If it can be hacked, it can also be taken over by someone else if they get in.

    Maybe but times are very different now, everybody is having stock issues with electronics. As far as 2n1's go, the wife has an older version of this and it runs Tumbleweed just fine and ran Fedora for the prior few years. Different CPU/etc than the one below.
