When your penguin spirit takes a nap because Microsoft Edge showed up.
#Windows #Microsoft #MicrosoftEdge

A sleepy penguin standing, eyes closed, with the text "Your Linux after you install Microsoft Edge on it" implying reluctance and disappointment.

Love it when regulation kicks us in the ass.
The new Pangu-Pro-MoE model from Ascend Tribe (Huawei) ships with a license that forbids use inside the EU.
Why? Probably to dodge any messy GDPR debates.
After the WHOIS debacle sparked by GDPR, we can add yet another item to the ever-growing list of regulation-created problems.
"3. Conditions for License Grant. You represent and warrant that You will not, access, download, install, run, deploy, integrate, modify, or other…

I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

Accidents will happen.
So I decided after the car crash to setup a, what I call, hybrid system: Slackware KDE, by @… , remove some things, install grub and decide to do all applications by flatpak. Except for those KDE apps obviously.
It's probably relief setting in, but it sure feels fresh and snappy again!
