I was in a (Government) restaurant in China that had one waiter per table. They do NOT have a labour shortage.
|

They don't have a population shortage, either.

I see this as the New World Order. It's happened in the U.S., though unions try to stop it as much as possible. No longer can an uneducated person expect to have a middle class life in a developed country. And it will be even harder for the millennials and their children.

Even that's not as far as it can go. About a year ago I was talking with one of my parents neighbors. Her son's one of an IIRC half-dozenish of people who keep a fully automated factory that previously would've had 500-1000 workers running. It's supposedly a very good paying job because it needs someone who's an engineer, a computer network person, *and* who is willing to get his hands dirty anytime something goes wrong.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft has altered Windows 10 so that users have to explicitly set a default app for applications like mail, calendar, or web browsers. I don't know what's more shocking: that Microsoft did this, or that Mozilla's complaining
|
|
|
|
|
That's not the operating system's jurisdiction.

I haven't used Mozilla for a while but I fired it up again for some testing and that top add-in bar is starting to get crowded. Might be time to revert back to Netscape Navigator given all the things they are shoving in there.
What's the story with default mail, calendars and browser on, say, Google Chrome, or MacOS?
Someone isn't trying to piggyback on a big news item for attention, are they?

Microsofts Cake is bigger in the Desktop OS market. And everyone wants to have a piece of it as well. And if they can't do it on their own, they even force Microsoft to do so (at least in Europe, where Microsoft had to change it from delivering Windows with just IE to letting the user choose a browser).
|

That judgement expired recently, although may be renewed. However, MS could argue that they are no longer in as strong a monopoly position - Android, iOS and Macintosh all have larger shares now.
Personally, I find it more objectionable that Apple will allow no other browsers at all on iOS (unless they use Safari behind the scenes).

Having watched the video, the new UX sucks. I'm fine with making the change in an OS component to prevent crapware from showing deceptive dialogs; but the default apps app (  ) should open with the pick default web browser selector open so all the user has to do is make a single click in it to set their preference.

If you pay attention to what you're clicking during the upgrade, it doesn't change the default browser.
There was one screen which mentioned setting default programs, with an option to customise. Click the customise button, un-tick Microsoft Edge, and the previous default browser is retained.

That is why we are petitioning the Canadian federal government to recognize "Code" as Canada’s third official language. Chris? Is that you?

Just sign it, OK!

Wouldn't that add over 500 languages to Canada's official languages (the Wikipedia "List of Programming Languages" lists over 500 languages).

Half of the world's estimated online population now check in to the social networking giant Facebook at least once a month. "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right"
