Windows only asks for your password at login. All other permission elevation prompts are just a âoeOKâ button to click.

Submission + - Undisclosed risks of COVID-19 vaccine

And that is actually where we got off.
Meaning historically when we think about vaccines, vaccines are passive, meaning your body interfaces with a foreign protein. But usually that protein is not something that's active biologically to most people.
But instead to pick the very protein that is pathological and actually have people make it in a in a way that we didn't really even understand. And even the biodistribution studies are just now catching up where the old it stayed in your arm is completely false.
Uh and we know that now. But of course the the studies just came out because really we weren't studying it before we basically told everybody it was safe and effective.”

Submission + - KDE targets Windows 10 'exiles' claiming 'your computer is toast' (theregister.com)
king*jojo writes: Linux desktop darling KDE is weighing in on the controversy around the impending demise of Windows 10 support with a lurid "KDE for Windows 10 Exiles" campaign.
KDE's alarming "Exiles" page opens with the text "Your computer is toast" followed by a warning that Microsoft wants to turn computers running Windows 10 into junk from October 14.
"It may seem like it continues to work after that date for a bit, but when Microsoft stops support for Windows 10, your perfectly good computer will be officially obsolete."
Beneath a picture of a pile of tech junk, including a rotary telephone and some floppy drives, KDE proclaims: "Windows 10 will degrade as more and more bugs come to light. With nobody to correct them, you risk being hacked. Your data, identity, and control over your device could be stolen."
