I hate it when I need JRE to use one application, all I want is to install the application I want, and nothing more. At least it isn't someone using electron.

@jonah If Apple allowed people to jailbreak their iPhones, then they wouldn't be working so hard to prevent it. Also, Apple hires lawyers to determine what is and isn't allowed to be done with an Apple product. Many of these "articles" are pointing out that obvious harm the Apple does with their DRM laced systems. Its also why they perform ridiculous things, like soldering their ram.
Just a reminder out there for people, jail-breaking iOS means you are a criminal,according to Apple. It's time to tell Apple to stop enforcing anti-consumer technologies, such as DRM. Read the following blog for more information. You can start by not purchasing Apple products, and start using systems that respect your freedom. https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/1256

This is an #internetfreedom disaster. More than 26,000 websites are blocked in Egypt. https://afteegypt.org/en/digital_freedoms-2/publications_digital_freedoms-digital_freedoms-en/2019/05/19/17500-afteegypt.html
Finally, after a long awaited time of agony and annoyance, I was able to burn a CD music project successfully.

How hard is it for Microsoft to develop a proper system power manager? I had to forcefully restart my laptop, because Windows 10 wouldn’t shutdown. Oh yes, I forgot, Microsoft can’t code.
