But that will only happen when the user base falls, so enough people will have had to move on organically, for popular tools like web browsers to give up.
Firefox didn’t end windows 7 support until July of last year. 3 years after eol for 7 and when 7’s market share among windows was around 3 percent.
And just eol’ing Firefox doesn’t immediately break it, you will have at least a couple years before the browser becomes functionally useless.
Routers put paid to a lot of that. Early modems were like sticking your dick directly into the internet. I remember when Blaster came out and suddenly we all had to learn what a firewall was.
Hard to believe we just sat there with every port open to the net like that.
it’s not even that retarded an argument! If you don’t think about it, it could appear to make perfect sense instead of being bullshitese for a problem that isn’t real but taps into moral outrage about how wasteful every day is under capitalism.
As I’ve been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to “removed”?
The one I’ve seen is a swear but most others aren’t censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.
Edit: I suspect I figured it out so that’s at least 2 words, one a debatable slur and one an obvious swear but with no socio-political implications otherwise.
lemmy.ml has some absolutely draconian censorship. The word that was censored was probably b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. (hopefullly it doesnt catch that). It’s also quickly going full blown tankie.
If you want an instance that doesn’t censor stuff like a club penguin chat and isn’t run by people who regard Joseph Stalin as their personal hero then a good one to try is sh.itjust.works. I only use lemmy.world because it’s the only one I could sign up for when I did. If I signed up now then I would probably go for sh.itjust.works or lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Damn, that sucks but thanks for the response. So far that brings the list to three two words and no rationale or common theme save for one that is a modern slur.
For reference, my list so far:
1: removed (B word for female dogs)
2: removed (R word, derogatory for people with handicaps)
3: bullshit (B-u word for literal bovine turds)
Edit: my bullshit wasn’t censored. Sorry to all the pooping cows.
The censorship only happen in lemmy.ml. If you look a the exact comment in another instance (e.g. https://lemmy.world/comment/8291179 ), it’s not censored at all. Lemmy.ml is probably applying censorship directly in their local database.
Yes, because normal people always throw PCs away when they stop getting security updates.
When Chrome/Firefox stop getting updates and websites stop working they will
So 5-10 years after Windows EOL
So at least 3 more years, plus however long it takes for website makers to use features exclusive to the very latest versions.
The only stuff that I know no longer works and is in common use is TLS. That’s the only reason some of our customers updated from XP.

Slack is already warning of eol on 10
most normal people are just going to be happy their computer isn’t annoying them about restarting for updates every two days
Oh, Microsoft will still find a way to annoy them, mark my words
Last update will spam the user to upgrade their computer. If they could brick it and get away with it they would.
Companies probably will.
Hahahahahaha…breathes…,… hahahahah
But in all seriousness, they %100 will not. There are still companies that have winxp machines and servers on 2000/2003.
There is an entire sector of the secops industry built on protecting these machines.
Not 100%, but most big businesses will.
Hack the planet?! Finally.
My guess is that Microsoft will notify the users often enough, that’s something we don’t know in the smartphone space, we’ll see what happens

It’s the second one
